Surely the fact that SU owns a ton of land at Skytop is the big plus associated with that idea.
 
I don't see access as any better than in the current set-up. Main campus: hemmed in on the south by a cemetery, the east by a campus, the west by topography and lack of through streets, and to some extent on the north by SUNY and VA campuses. South campus: hemmed in on the east by private land, the south by restrictive topography, on the west by private neighborhoods without through streets, and to some extent on the north by topography (Morningside) and SU's own Manley complex. The same folks who find Irving and Almond lacking are going to think the same about Lancaster and Comstock.
 
(Yes, I'm aware that many think that New York will pay for some kind of I-481 interchange, but anyone who's tried to access a major event from a single-point freeway interchange knows what kind of congestion that creates. Not to mention the engineering headache and expense of creating access from a freeeway 200+ feet - and a steep grade - below the stadium.)
 
As you said, not advocating, but I don't see this as the pie-in-the-sky panacea that many do.
