I'll play devil's advocate and take the bait:

1. Agree about profile but what happens to the profile if USC wins by three or four touchdowns. In NYC, the media capital of the world. The program is not ready for this type of game. Three years from now, after a few bowl games, I'd be as gung ho about games like these. Getting blown out does much more harm than good. This risk is high this year as USC is going to be a NC contender.

2. Question nobody is asking is: What is better, 40k in the Dome or 40k in MetLife?  The prices at MetLife are going to keep casual cuse fans in the area away. But SU doesn't care because the suits DG is trying to impress will be there.

3. Agree with point about people not being owed something but games like USC in the Dome would bring fans back.

4. Maybe this is what DG should be worrying about rather than signage at Yankee Stadium, marquee games at MetLife, and other NYC initiatives. Improve the game day experience and you will win back fans and recruits.  Wisconsin, Penn St, and others have all hired people SOLELY responsible for their game day experience. With all the grads SU has in PR, Marketing, and Event planning this shouldn't be hard.

I believe Darryl needs to spend a little bit more time worrying about local initiatives rather than glad handing in NYC.  Yes I understand these people are important to SU but the majority of their fan base is still located in upstate NY.
