Message: [QUOTE="Dr. Bill, post: 1271150, member: 5045"] We all make the assumption that Syracuse has the money to compete with these other programs…and that just is not the case. The ACC money helps, but we need more. Our attendance is terrible. I was at the Clemson game this year, their stadium was packed with almost 90 thousand fans. The parking lots right outside the stadium…Huge! and people pay $10, 000 per parking space in the these "tailgate lots". This is on top of a $1,000 "Athletic Fee" that is attached to each season ticket above and beyond the cost of the tickets. Now, when we start filling the athletic coffers with that kind of consistent extra cash……then we can start competing with these other schools in terms of salaries and facilities……… [/QUOTE]
