Jay Wright isn't coming to Syracuse.

Before the National Championship he was making $2.4 million (per 2013 - Form 990) and was the third highest paid private school coach in the country behind only K and JT III.     According to Syracuse's 2013 Form 990 James Arthur was making $2.0 million at that same point in time.    Villanova is located in a major market which should mean plenty of opportunity for additional income, should he desire it.   An opportunity that really doesn't exist in Syracuse.    From an earnings standpoint I don't see how Syracuse could "wow" or lure him away from a place where he seems to be pretty content.

Add to that that Jay Wright is a "Philadelphia" guy.    He was born and raised in the Philadelphia suburbs.   He has also made himself a Villanova guy through his long time association with the program and Rollie.   He doesn't appear to be a wanderlust or hired gun type.   He has absolutely no association with Syracuse that might help us to bring him in.

What exactly do you think Syracuse could offer him that might get him to walk away from Nova for Syracuse?
