Interesting. The biggest issue the football program has is a lack of big donors as well as mid level donors, these factories have private donors as well as state money for facilities but the donors  spend and spend big because seeing Old State U win is a big priority for them.  People waiting for Syracuse to flip a switch internally, it's never going to happen unless the University unearths someone who has a bunch of money and has Syracuse football winning games as a priority. The golden goose that Gross has spent 11 years trying to find. Syracuse has proven that they will spend 2 mil to look for the right coach but that seems to be the mendoza line, either you hire cheap and eventually pay that type of money to retain ( hopefully) or hire a proven coach.  This lack of big donors is a big reason why even next year you might see Shafer fired if he has another losing season.  Stanford, UCLA probably had donors willing to foot the bill for getting rid of coaches, much like Stanford probably has a donor writing a 7 figure check to their swimming program. People act as if the University is writing the checks for all of these moves, which in a round about way I guess they are
