I peered into my crystal ball and found some answers.

Marrone, in his new roll as the head coach of the Buffalo Bills, drafts Ryan Nassib in the 2nd round of the NFL draft. Ryan rides the pine for 3 years. In 2017 he leads the Bills to a Super Bowl. They lose that Super Bowl to the Detroit Lions. In 2018 they also make the Super Bowl, but lose that to the Detroit Lions as well. The city of Detroit is revitalized, but suicide rates in Buffalo double.

Meanwhile, the University of Buffalo, realizing what they have, develop the #1 Architectural school in the country. New UB School of Architecture graduate, Maynard Elam, submits a proposal for Buffalo revitalization that receives full funding from the government. This plan includes a domed stadium on the shorefront, a greenway park up and down the shorefront, and a state-of-the-art tram to and from Niagara Falls. The NY side of Niagara Falls eventually surpasses the Canadian side in 2033.

The rumored factory that Apple has been talking about building "in upstate NY" breaks ground in Rochester in 2014. Rochester becomes the Williamsburg of upstate NY. And in 2019, the grunge scene is reborn with a hipster angle. "Safety orange" aka "hunter orange" gear becomes the new trucker hat.

Looking for a challenge, the New Era company, seeing that Buffalo is in good hands, moves operations to Syracuse. Due to the success of their headwear, they move full-scale into the clothing industry. New Era makes a very large donation to the SU VPA school. Hot girls that would normally attend schools like FIT, choose SU instead. SU athletic recruiting sees a huge spike. New Era carries over the "leave your holographic tags on" trend to the dismay of many.

Despite the spike in recruiting, SU breaks ground on a new Indoor Practice Facility anyway. The Jim Brown Center is born. Quentin Tarantino casts Jim Brown as the bad guy in his new magnum opus, and Jim's popularity soars. He becomes the face of Syracuse athletics and lives to be the oldest living man in the US before dying at the age of 116.

After the great runs of 7 years of football championships at Oregon and 5 years of basketball championships at Maryland, New Era becomes jealous and goes all-in with Syracuse. A multi-purpose domed stadium is built in the empty lot below Drumlins. This stadium is revolutionary in that the seating is retractable. Seating can be expanded or retracted depending on the event. Basketball becomes the coziest 35,000 people you've ever seen. Syracuse track & field explodes. Hockey is added. The design of the tailgating lot becomes a mecca for architecture students around the world. Thanks, Maynard.

Marrone is fired following two disappointing Super Bowl loses. He decides coaching football is too stressful, goes into politics, and later becomes governor of NY state.

Jim Boeheim replaces Darryl Gross as SU AD after Gross becomes GM of the Oakland Raiders. Coach Hopkins starts wearing glasses, loses hair, picks his nose in public, and his face mysteriously morphs into a Boeheim look-alike.

At the age of 40, Ryan Nassib once again leads the Buffalo Bills to the Super Bowl in 2031. They win vs. the Dallas Cowboys. When asked "Ryan Nassib, you just won the Super Bowl, what are you going to do now?" he says "New York's College Team," drops the mic, and walks away. It becomes the next biggest random What internet meme.

In 2044, Georgetown still sucks.
 
I actually like the idea of Tarantino doing a movie either about Jim Brown or starring him.
 
I like it, but your third paragraph is off. No way UB surpasses SU (as an Architecture school).

Sorry, couldn't let that part go :)
