Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 469448, member: 405"] To me, Doug is clearly lobbying in public for greater commitment from the University - to resources and to salaries. He also has to be disappointed about the lack of fan support. To me, the next couple years will determine SU's football future. I think we need to act to keep this coaching staff together for the next few years to smooth the transition to the ACC, and we need to borrow against that ACC television money to make sure that we are competitive. If we let the football team slide back down into the gutter, that's eventually going to bring down the basketball program as well, and SU will decline as a school. Like it or not, televised sports and success on the field boosts applications to the school and boosts donations. [/QUOTE]
