Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 467523, member: 652"] I have stayed radio silent these past few weeks but to answer your question the ACC money can't be used solely for a football facility are multiple folds. 1. We aren't getting 17 million dollars from the ACC next year it will be closer to 10 million the ACC contract was backloaded and while it will be infinitely more than the paltry 4 million a year we get from the Big East this large windfall from the ACC won't start probably for 3-4 years. I am not sure if we are getting a full ACC credit next year anyway. 2. It would be negligent to take all this ACC money and solely invest in a football facility that won't be cheap. The ACC money alone wouldn't cover it I have heard it will take 20 million year dollars. Do we want to invest 1-2 years of all of our ACC money to get this ball running. I am frustrated at what is going on with Doug Marrone, but the ACC money alone won't fix the problem. All this hearsay on this board is interesting to read, but really frustrating to deal with. We have fans calling out the leaders of the University when the mission statement is "Scholarship in Action is the bold vision that propels Syracuse University — a vision for education that's not static or for its own sake, but breaks out of the traditional "ivory tower." It drives us to forge innovative and sustained partnerships across our local and global communities. [B]And that makes SU a place where students become leaders, scholars become collaborators, and the community is continually energized by new ideas." [/B]the BoT would be committing negligence if they allowed all the new revenue to go to a football facility, when they need to buy new labs, new computers, and not just care about athletics. I believe the ACC money will help us eventually get a facility, but it won't be for 3-5 years and if Doug Marrone believes he can't recruit well enough until that time I wish well in his future endeavors if he decides to take an NFL coaching job.
