What is your definition of “improved”?  It feels like yours is excessively generous.  I’ll say my definition of “improved” equals “ranked” for the purposes of this discussion.  And Syracuse being improved is only one part of the equation - who are we playing?  If we define a higher profile game as one between ranked teams, those have remained extremely rare - and most since 2018 got a 3:30 pm kickoff.   Miami last year is an example.

A lot of games between ranked and unranked teams historically ended up at noon.  If Ohio State fans are upset about their games vs Grambling and Ohio being nooners - their fans are delusional.  Those were often noon games for decades now.  They have a legitimate beef with the Texas game being at noon, as that is the shining example of a very high profile game which was normally 7:30-8:00 kickoff getting put at noon.

If we’re ranked, and our opponents is ranked, and we get a noon kickoff - I’d be perturbed.  Any other case getting upset at a noon kickoff is bizarre, because those are the types of games that have been noon kickoffs for at least thirty years.  “Noon games gaining traction” is something for Ohio State fans to gripe about - but it doesn’t effect Syracuse kickoff times.
