The same reasons why Tambroni left for Penn State, Tiffany for UVA, Tillman for Maryland, Tierney to Denver etc etc etc. Syracuse plays in the mecca conference of lacrosse, there is no higher position in D1 or really lax in the country with the professional leagues still treading water at best.

The appeal of the job is that its Syracuse lacrosse, arguably alogn with Hopkins one of the most historic Lax programs of all time and the program with the most titles in the modern era.

I hate to steal this from Fanlax, but this poster was a Yale fan and these where his reasons Shay might leave:

* Much more flexible admissions standards and ability to provide 100% admissions commitment on September 1 of junior year
* Full quiver of scholarships vs. no scholarships
* Direct access to one of the best talent bases in the world
* Membership in the best lacrosse conference in the U.S.
* Better TV exposure
* Easier to command a premium salary without raising the hackles of faculty members who earn much less
* Better camp revenue
* Deep history of national success and tradition
* Iconic venue
* More committed fan base
* Better support of the program from the athletic department and university administration (as evidenced by the 2021 Ivy debacle)
* Start spring practices weeks before the Ivy league
* More options for undergraduate majors and professional training vs. liberal arts curriculum
* Better place to raise a family than New Haven (Shay specific).

Agains those were his reasons and he's a freeking Yale fan.
