Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 4823398, member: 668"] Of course, I don't think SU is sitting on it, that would be stupid as all get out. At minimum, they have placed the surplus from the ACC win fall into various investments, etc. Again, I realize that monies have been spent other staff positions, etc., in order to be more competitive and up to speed. However, I highly doubt that those expenditures, etc. have been on pace with the $35 plus annual win fall surplus, etc. from being in the ACC. I don't think, at least reasonable folks, really talk like this is a pro sports job, but it's still very big business. I don't know how many other P5 level programs would act in the way in which SU has chosen to. Dino has been here for eight years, his peer record is 0-5 so far this year and 19-44 overall, that is a complete failure on every level. I think the writing has been on the wall for some time, and I think those other folks who have seen it this way as well, is what they're mostly dismayed about. As well as realizing that hope is not a strategy, and that how much repeatitive proof is needed before different action is taken. If Syracuse University wants to play in the P5 world, then they should walk the walk too, and not project the well, we made our bed, now we just have to lie in it mindset. Oh, we don't have this, and we don't have that, we can't do this and we can't do that, yada, yada, yada. I'd bet that there's likely a large number of instutions out there that would be knocking at the door to be in Syracuse's shoes, get into a P5 conference and all that that brings, etc. vs. the can't do mantra tune that SU consistently seemingly sings. I'm not sure how to intrepret your "just what it is" comment, other than it being very generic in nature relative to where all of that ACC money surplus win fall is, has gone, etc. Although, those words evidently do ring true relative to SU's leadership position and how it views their particular plight.
