What John Wildhack's hiring could mean for Syracuse: 6 experts weigh in (DO; Gutierrez)
Days after Syracuse named John Wildhack as its new director of athletics, The Daily Orange spoke with six sports business experts about what the former ESPN executive could mean for the university, Atlantic Coast Conference and related media. Wildhack replaces Mark Coyle, who left Syracuse in May to become Minnesota’s director of athletics.
The Daily Orange spoke with the six experts featured below. These are excerpts from the conversations.
Clare Ramirez | Presentation Director
The Daily Orange: Any first reactions to the Wildhack hire?
Robert Malekoff (North Carolina): Wow, here’s somebody who would be great about the proposed ACC Network. He’s a phenomenal resource for the conference. If I’m an AD in an ACC office, I’m thinking what could this guy do for us to collectively strengthen our brand? From that perspective, it’s a pretty interesting hire.

Chatty Trey Anastasio leads playful Phish debut at Lakeview Amphitheater (review) (PS; Tulloch)
Phish played to one of the Lakeview Amphitheater's biggest crowds ever on Sunday night. Security estimated between 19,000 to 20,000 people attended, well over capacity.
Apart from their music, the iconic jam band is known for keeping hundreds of musical and cultural traditions alive at their shows. There's an overwhelming buzz of activity happening at any given Phish concert.
Phans create their own ecosystem, from selling and buying each other's food, to helping each other register to vote. They also take care of each other, whether they're shielding smokers from security guards, or tricking ushers into letting extra people in the pavilion.
This isn't a traditional review and recap of the night, because Phish isn't anything like a traditional band. Instead, here's a play-by-play of memorable moments, presented both by Phish and their fans.
4:35 p.m. — "Cosmic Charlie," a staple at every Phish show, blasts music by The Grateful Dead and pushes his colorful cart by to pick up recyclables. His cart reads, "Keep the scene cool and clean." He nods and poses for a Snapchat photo.
5:28 p.m. — A kid, maybe 10, approaches wearing a sign offering free high fives. I take him up that.
5:45 p.m. — Another kid, maybe 20, offers passers-by a cup of "the best lemonade in the world, just check the Yelp reviews." I do not take him up on that.
