Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 4118158, member: 628"] Bingo. Some programs simply have brand strength that is greater than the ups-and-downs of performance. Its fashionable for people to say how hoops programs like, say, Indiana and UCLA are "irrelevant" because their glory days are well in the past. But those brands are about as close to timeless as is possible in this sport. Big fanbases, great facilities, and prioritization from the school means a return to glory is never out of the question. Syracuse is that kind of program. I mean, think about college football and Miami. They haven't been a legit national title contender in ages, yet their brand is still enormously strong. There is no comparing SU hoops and football. Its almost as if they exist in different universes. [/QUOTE]
