Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 4608757, member: 173"] The thing that concerns me is in the last twenty years, what positive story happened that got at least a little national attention? What ones were negative? The stories I can think of: One horse town, football imploding, 2003 natty, ACC fiasco, Bernie Fine, Syracuse annual bubble watch, Fab Melo, probation, wow Syracuse has been bad since they joined the ACC…and Brent Axe. Almost all of those are negative. My gut feel based on conversations with casual fans well outside NY is that 20 years of only negative attention has severely degraded the athletics reputation of Syracuse nationally. It would be nice if something like this - which was completely avoidable - didn’t happen. This isn’t a hugely relevant story nationally, and it will probably be completely off the radar by Monday - but lots of little stories with small impact have added up to a significant negative impact over two decades.
