Message: [QUOTE="Brian Orange, post: 1037034, member: 948"] Gross was very good for Syracuse and will be a real loss. He was the right person at the right time - thought big, outside the box, etc - stuff that Syracuse and the community is not known for. Hence right person at the right time. I think SU was a bit stale. He changed that, for better or worse. I don't think he was every truly accepted for various reasons and I think that's a shame. Regardless, on Gross' watch Syracuse was saved from the Big East and went to the ACC. We have no idea how much Gross was responsible for this move. But it's a bit like being the president when the economy is strong, you get credit for it whether it was your doing or not. [/QUOTE]
