Message: [QUOTE="arbitragegls, post: 28128, member: 302"] ...for starters, in the money grabbing intent of league expansion, Syracuse had to position itself as being in a major market...Syracuse and upstate New York region is not a major market. Without attachment to NYC, Syracuse would be no better off than WVU..aside from academics, etc, etc. Strategically, this attachment to NYC is/was very intelligent and good for SU to be recognized as the NYC college...beating out Rutgirls and CT... Insofar as playing a few games a year in the Big Apple...go for it and I will gladly travel from Florida to be there...it is not as if we were not playing games at Madison Square Arena...now we will hopefully play some of our rivals from the BE and throw in a game or two against key foes in ACC once in a while...Bball will be good for us...Football playing in the Giant stadium will be overwhelming favorable for 'Cuse.
