Sure in the future we [U]might[/U] get better talent than teams in the Big East currently get but I don't see what the point of that is since we will be playing in the ACC where they already get better talent and have been for years. Also, I tend to look at stadium size and attendance as a barometer of popularity and in that regard we will be the 11th out of 14th in stadium size and 11th out of 14th in attendance. I guess you could also look at merchandise sold just for football but I don't have those kinds of figures available and I doubt it would help your point. You could also look at Nielsen ratings for SU football games but the viewers are not just tuning in to watch SU play but their opponent as well which will skew the stats.

While I like Marrone and some of the coaches he has surrounded himself with, I will not blindly say he is a better coach than most without having facts to back it up.
Given his record vs. BCS schools I cannot say he is a better coach than most, and while time may change that opinion right now you cannot make that presumption and declare it to be the true.
