A conference gets about $2m for each game a conference member plays in. Last year the ACC received $32m which was then distributed equally amongst all conference members. So SU received about $1.8m.

I don’t know what if any changes to this specific revenue stream are made because of the settling of the Clemson/FSU lawsuits.

Go ACC.

 

[OCESIP]

Not a Duke fan, but would sure like to replicate their program and the pride they play with. Flagg, by the way, is a really likable kid who will also be a #1 pick. Good for him.

If there is an financial benefit to Duke doing well, sure cheer for that. But as far as one team doing well and trying to make the argument that it covers up the mediocrity/awfulness of the rest of the conference, I will not buy that argument from OrangePA

There is a financial benefit to SU for any and all ACC teams to do well. And in this age of $$$$ and college sports, I’ll take anything we can get. Go ACC.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE FOR A SOONER BUYOUT?!?
WELL THEN... GO DOOK!

Another way to look at it is for every game in the tournament that has an ACC team, SU will receive about $111,000. Nice donation.

I'm ok with cheering for more money, but as I mentioned, trying to make the argument that Duke doing well changes what the conference did as a whole this year would be ridiculous.

 

[Scooch]

You don't root for the ACC?

Nope.

SU being in the ACC is purely transactional. There's no history, no geographic affection, no institutional relevance... just money.

I don't always root against ACC teams. But I feel no compelling reason to root for them just because we happen to, at this moment, share the same conference affiliation.

It's all gonna change soon anyway.

When Duke wins their first round game can we finally buy 2 treadmills for the hoops team?

I'm sure the posters throwing around stillettos will make up that $1.8M if Duke goes down early.

I'm no Duke fan, but hoping the ACC flames out makes no sense if you are a Syracuse fan. You want as many of those NCAA units as possible, in this environment.

Needless to say, who anyone of us roots for makes no difference at all.

So if people want to root against Duke, that's cool. I doubt Cooper Flagg is going to shoot worse because a dozen SyracuseFan.com posters don't want him to win.

You'd be surprised the powers that I have Actually if I did have any powers, I would have used them to make the past several seasons much more enjoyable.

Only the announcers have power like that. When they say things like, "he hasn't missed a free-throw in 42 attempts" then you know a miss is coming up.

 

[OrangePA]

Bewildering.

 

[Hopkins16]

Being a New Yorker, I’m rooting for St. John’s. I was a fan before SU. I’m also rooting for Duke because I really like Maliq and Flagg, and the conference needs a win.

Exactly. The SEC doesn't need anything else on top of what they already have.

 

[CuseCPT]

Yeah, I'm pretty neutral overall on Duke and I like Maliq so that would be fine. That said, the Gators have always been my second team. Also Creighton made me a fan after they stuck it to UConn and Hurley. Finally, St. John's and Kadary has become fun to root for.

I’m assuming he takes after his Dad as what I’ve seen from his Mom is far from likable.

 

[Scooch]

Bewildering.

I actually find it far more bewildering that people root for money.

Especially when we've been told we have no treadmills for the men's and women's hoops team to use. Where did all that sweet NC State money that SU shared in last season go? Why didn't we buy treadmills? You know, since we should be rooting for money.

 

[LetsGoOrang]

I live in Durham and I describe my feeling towards Duke as " I hate them less than I used to." I am still rooting for the ACC but would prefer to Clemson or Louisville over Duke.

Exactly. The ACC has had plenty of tournament success the last couple of years and the Syracuse basketball program is the worst it’s been in over half a century. Firing the coach and bringing in someone better will help this program. Rooting for Duke to win games will not.

 

[shantydaze]

I could get behind rooting for Louisville as a part of ACC/money pride. Duke, though, is a different story. I do have a rooting interest in the tourney as my other alma mater made the field, but other that than them, I am rooting for upsets and chaos.
