One or two within SU worked with JMI sports and I expect them to be the new sports marketing company moving forward.  SU wouldn't have broken its contract without an offer on the table from them.

However, the Orange club still sells the boxes, Dome operations run ticket & food sales, etc.  Many Universities outsource all of that to these sports marketing companies (think Matt Park).  They often prove that they can give an Athletic Dept a better "net bottom line" than what a University can do themselves internally (think University pay scales, benefits, retirement - it's not real world).

You cannot say "because this school gets this per year" so Syracuse should get X or more.  It's not that simple.  The issue is how much SU is willing to outsource - that's what will drive X for each University.  Gross had a say in who got hired and could get people jobs as long as control remained with the Athletic Department - if everything gets outsourced - to a major extent he loses that control that's why I'm watching to see what happens in the new deal and why I think he eventually leaves - nuff said on my part.
