Agree.  We should be able to [I]currently[/I] compete relative to the [I]pay for play[/I] (I won't call it NIL as that's bogus facade garb) on the hoops front. SU still has a solid brand in that regard, the Dome, part of (in the moment) a very good revenue making conference in the ACC, fan base, etc.

However, football is a different world, OSU last weekend had 75K + at its spring game.  SU's upcoming game will draw similar to a really good lax crowd.  From a broader and more comprehensive picture, this is where the future of the SUAD (as it's known today) is in a considerably more problematic position, since football drives the bus.

Where will SU be a decade from now when the GOR is near/closer to its expiration date?  Will we be left at the altar scrambling to find a home when the SEC and B1G take their pick of the state land grant flagships currently in the ACC?  And, if so, how will it ultimately impact hoops?  Who knows?

All of this, on top of the current Wild West state of affairs in major college athletics, has no doubt undeniably taking a large chunk out of my interests, commitment, investment, etc., just as others here have shared. And, as peculiar/strange/foreign, etc. as this is for me personally, there has been a cleansing, relief type purging of my being, at least this compartment of it.
