Actually I take that back about FB, it could be worse for them as well. If BBall donations significantly drop, it won't cover the lost 25%.

Other schools are state schools, in which case a one stop shop makes more sense. Alumni are willing to give money in order to see the entire AD do well. But SU is a small private school where most of the fans have nothing to do with the school. Those fans do not care about the entire AD. It almost feels like this was a cookie cutter solution that worked elsewhere without actually knowing our audience.

Edit
This quote right here kind proves my above point.

"We want Syracuse Athletics to be the best it possibly can, and that's not one sport being great and other sports not being great...I'm not dodging the question, but we want to push everybody to consider let's give all for one and one for all."

That is great in theory but that isn't what the bulk of donors want. We aren't a state school. There are people who do not care about FB, let alone non rev sports.

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
