Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 3056, member: 19"] But the problem is that the fans shouldn't have to be told this. It's college football 101, kids are recruited to schools, they like to play in front of crowds. There are probably thousands of people in the Syracuse area who bash Marrone for not being able to land higher profile kids and therefore won't bother going to games. So to me it's not so much that the AD is telling the fans this, even though Marrone is certainly making his pleas. The AD is doing what he thinks is necessary to make the program more interesting to both the nation and to potential recruits. It's not just dollars, it's exposure. I'll be curious what those future games (outside the current deals) end up being. If he can negotiate 1-1-1s like Penn State, then hopefully no one will complain, that's the best of everything.
