Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 481458, member: 628"] This is so very, very important. The average Syracuse fan, be it local or alum, has zero clue as to the ludicrous state of the college athletics arm race. I mean ZERO. They think SU is "rich". If they are told that our facilities are lacking then they'll assume that SU is not building things because they're "cheap". SU[I] desperately[/I] needs someone who can educate the alumni and fan bases about the financial commitment that is necessary to maintain a top-25 caliber football program. I like Gross, but he hasn't done that. And then they need someone who can nail a mass outreach program. The University seems to do it well enough to fund academic initiatives. The AD seems to have failed badly. [/QUOTE]
