Message: [QUOTE="sufan, post: 49158, member: 262"] ------------------ The Meadowland's deal was a great move when SU needed leverage to play a high profile game against a high profile team that also had a good payout. With a move to the ACC and 9 game conference schedule, SU is in a position of strength when it comes to future scheduling. I see the Meadowlands game as a great early-season, high profile bowl with an opponent selected by SU in the major NYC metro region where SU alumni, students, donors, lot of potential students and recruits are located. The Meadowland's deal makes concrete the positioning of SU as NY's team. I have no idea to what extant it played into the ACC decision but I would be surprised if it wasn't considered a positive. SU will want to continue to play BB games in the NYC area; the same applies for football. I hope RU becomes an annual OOC game, but if not the Meadowlands deal looks even better now with SU in the ACC. [/QUOTE]
