While that is noble and everything you said is not wrong and the sentiment is coming from a good place, trying to compete on Saturdays in football and every other day of the week in other sports, with that attitude won't be successful.

We are in a P5 conference and most of these other schools are out for blood (and if they aren't now they will be soon). I'm sure the attitude at Pittsburgh over the past 72 hours has changed and their attitude towards all of this is changing by the minute. Someone did this to us, ok we now gotta re-stock the cupboard and get someone to take that kids place now to be able to compete.

These other schools will be making sure their kids get big bucks and will be working back channels trying to steal kids from other places and offer them more. If Syracuse wants to take the moral high ground and not do that, it's great. But thinking we will be going to bowl games, be able to compete with these programs (in any sport) is really ignoring the new reality of college sports.

None of this stuff is illegal anymore, taking the moral high ground is just trying to win a boxing match with one arm tied behind your back. You are only hurting yourself.
