Scoff Shafer Happy to See Work Being Done on New SU IPF (PS; Carlson)
...
It has been 466 days since Syracuse announced it would build a new indoor football practice facility, and the school said earlier this week it has cleared the final legal hurdle and has started preparing the site for construction.
Shafer, the university's head football coach, has followed the progress of the latest facilities upgrade for his program and is happy to see progress being made. He was also asked about the new stadium proposal that circulated this past winter but said that is "outside my core."
"The way I look at it is I can't control everything, so I'm just going to control the controllables and I'm happy to see there's work being done out there. Nothing but good things. There's a lot of permits, a lot of things you have to go through when you're building a building like that. For me, I'm just happy that they're working on it and I look forward to seeing the progress just like the rest of us.
"As far as dates go, right now the only day I'm really worried about is August 29 and Villanova."

Syracuse to Receive $20.8 Share of ACC Revenue (PS; Bailey)
Syracuse and the 13 other full Atlantic Coast Conference members with receive $20.8 million respectively in revenue, according to ESPN.com. The payouts do not include each school's individual multimedia rights deals, according to the article.
The total revenue, $291.7 million for the 2013-14 fiscal year, is up $56.6 million from last year's 12-member conference.
That expansion — the ACC is now a 15-member conference with Notre Dame as a basketball-only school — gave the ACC an opportunity to renegotiate its television deal for more money.
Last season, each of the 12 full conference members took home $19.6 million.

The 'Big Three' SU Recruiters (McDonald, Lester, Smith)
Why No Camps in NYC This Summer? (PS; Mink)
ACC Rule Puts Syracuses at a Competitive Disadvantage
Syracuse football will start holding on-campus, one-day camps next Friday, the first of eight camps from June 13-26.
One change is that none of the camps will be held off site. Last year Syracuse set up shop at Lincoln High School in Brooklyn and at SUNY Maritime in the Bronx, a camp attended by tight end Chris Clark and defensive end Malachi Felder. Both were offered scholarships in the 2015 recruiting class.
There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for why Syracuse is staying home this year.
It has to.
"It's actually an ACC rule," head coach Scott Shafer said. "There's no off-site camps for the ACC, so we're bringing everyone in here."
Indeed, under Article VIII of the ACC manual it states "football coaching staffs may not conduct, attend, or be involved with any football camps/clinics, including camps/clinics for non-prospect aged individuals, during the months of June and July or any calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) that includes days of those months off their institution's campus."
