Message: [QUOTE="syracuse95, post: 5138200, member: 860"] Most SU students aren't from NY, didn't grow up as SU fans, and don't stay in NY after graduation. It's not that we have "bad students" or "bad alumni". We just have a very different student body than 95% of P4 schools. Our peers in that regard (think Duke, Wake, Northwestern) have the same attendance struggles that we do. In fact, we draw better than most schools with a similar student body makeup. What's surprising isn't the fact that we struggle with attendance. It's the fact that Syracuse is still clinging to the thread of big time football given its location and student/alumni base. We may be disappointed or wish that wasn't reality, but that doesn't change what it is. [/QUOTE]
