Message: [QUOTE="OrangeTarheel, post: 3738145, member: 887"] I’ll echo this, housing without support services is very little help and the long term chances for success in achieving independence is low without such services. Those services do exist - certainly in a city the size of Syracuse - but single men often have fewer programs they can plug into (families and domestic violence shelters are a large part of housing and service options). IF Syracuse has a role to play here it would be to make sure former players know about these supports and find ways to encourage participation in them. Hopefully they would also participate in some monetary fashion. I get the sense that the university will provide as much networking opportunity as they can to players. That’s a big help. And the vast majority of players won’t need much more than that be achieve financial independence. [/QUOTE]
