Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5284157, member: 173"] I moved for a decent chunk of my career to Wisconsin. Moving back to the northeast was a bigger culture shock than I’d anticipated - I suspect it’s even bigger for someone who wasn’t born and raised in the northeast. I suspect that was a huge factor. But I remember being at a Syracuse sponsored party several years ago and listening to a couple boosters who were very upset at how Syracuse had dropped in the US News rankings. They were strongly advocating for de-emphasizing athletics and building relationships with the Ivys and northeastern public Ivys to build a stronger academic profile and standing. So I think a big factor for Coyle was the realization that Syracuse’s boosters have an exceptionally diverse set of expectations - and this is not a “diversity is our strength” situation related to the athletic department.
