I understand ND wouldn't have agreed to the series in 2009 unless Metlife was the site of our home games. I do not dispute this one bit. My point is the second that Notre Dame agreed to play 5 ACC games in 2012 then Dr. Gross SHOULD have told the Metlife people sorry, but I am not going to play these games against Notre Dame at Metlife because unlike in 2009 I now have the chance to get Notre Dame to play Syracuse on campus and not play home games against Notre Dame 250 miles from our campus. The fact Dr. Gross asked the ACC to make Syracuse the team that will play Notre Dame twice in three years and BOTH are technically Syracuse home games when Notre Dame will have more fans means its will be FOREVER before Syracuse season ticket holders or local fans will see ANY BENEFIT for Notre Dame playing 5 games against ACC teams. The fact it appears publicly anyway that Dr. Gross did nothing to try to alleviate this situation is an INSULT to season ticket holders or anybody who invests in the football program in the Central New York area. Jeez, I don't insist that Metlife wasn't a part of the ORIGINAL AGREEMENT, my point is Dr. Gross not cancelling the games in 2012 just shows either he doesn't care about Notre Dame playing Syracuse home games in Syracuse or he doesn't want to piss off the Metlife people and doesn't care about pissing local fans.
