1. You disagree with my "'end of SU hoops' comment?" The exact words that I used were: "[j]oining the C7 [B]would[U]n't[/U][/B] have been the end of SU basketball..."
2. ND has more fans in NYC than Syracuse*. I don't think that we are on as much of an island as you think. Also, there is a lot of growth in the south. Diversifying the school's marketing strategy to account for shifts in the regional balance of power in this country isn't a bad idea IMO. I think that regional rivalries are important, but I think that we will be fine. BC, Pitt, and ND is enough with OOC games against UCONN and GU, and I think that the ACC ha sno sortage of regional rivalries. Half the conference is in NC and/or in a state that touches NC (1. UNC, 2. Duke, 3. NCSU, 4. WF, 5. UVA, 6. VT, 7. CU). Btw, keep in mind that we often play an early season tourney in MSG and we will play occassional OOC games at MSG. We will be well-represented in Boston, Pitt, NYC, Washington, and I would be amazed if we didn't play a big 5 Philly school on a semi-regular basis
*Albiet ND fans are mostly football fans.
3. I'm not sure who you talk to, but I don't know any casual sports fans who don't know anything about SU. Yes, their info might be 10-15 years old, but that isn't always a bad thing. The most common thing tat I hear was "you were good in the day but I haven't heard much about you recently." I respond by glossing over the GROB years and immediately sart talking about destroying WVU in the Pinstripe Bowl.
