Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 819676, member: 874"] SU can't expect to do things the way other schools do them and succeed. They never have been able to and never will. They were one the, if not the, first Universities to get a corporate sponsor for their stadium. Why would they all of a sudden think they're going to get sufficient donations for an IPF, like everyone else, after what the last decade has looked like? That's not the way it works around here. It may work like that in other places, but Syracuse isn't other places, and it's not a state school. If SU wants a successful football program, they are going to have make the investment first, not the fans. That's just the way it is. If they're going to play a game of, "If you want to be a fan of a good team, then pony up," they might as well get rid of football. There aren't enough people that both care and have enough money to get the support they need. [/QUOTE]
