Message: [QUOTE="ClvrUsrnm, post: 3865136"] Admissions — this point is taken if we’re talking simply going from an Ivy to a non-Ivy. But the other four schools in the ACC are better academically. Scholarships — can’t argue the numbers. But the Ivies do a much better job with need-based aid, as we’ve discussed before Recruiting pool — a battle Syracuse has been losing because of the appeal of the southern schools (academics/location) ACC — someone’s gotta finish last TV exposure — I think this rolls into the recruiting/ACC arguments. The rest of the ACC is on tv too, so this adds nothing unique to the Syracuse job Premium salary — if true, can’t argue with that Better camp revenue — I assume this means money from prospect camps and those sorts of things? Deep history — I mean, that’d be a nice thing for Shay to be a part of, but recruits don’t care about history, especially when none has been made since Obama’s first year in office. Iconic venue — It is, but Shay wouldn’t be playing in it More committed fan base — some of us need to be committed to an institution. When the expectation is championships all the time, there is nothing special about winning anything. Because it was expected. Losing is a personal affront, but winning is simply baseline when the expectations are that high. We need to start enjoying the ride again. Better support — maybe? The Ivy League collectively lost its mind this year, but hopefully this is the last 100 year pandemic in our lifetimes Spring practice — Cant argue this generally but it’s not Syracuse-specific More majors — this falls into recruiting generally, I think, but I don’t see how this applies to Shay and is not Syracuse specific Better place to raise a family — you’re assuming he lives in New Haven (and maybe he does). There are ritzy parts of Connecticut not too far away [/QUOTE]
