Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 3745887, member: 626"] All due respect but i think your take on this is too simplistic. I loved being at the Cuse- best years of my life! And part of the reason why is because i was dirt poor, hanging around other students in the same boat, and we grew together to become “responsible” adults. Nothing i love more then regale my kids & grands w/ tales of my Syracuse days. They all know why i love the place. But, as a business major- if IBM had come along my sophomore year and offered me a million $ contract, dam right i would’ve left, as would anyone else, imo. So why wouldn’t the athletes who are showcasing their skills for free, do the same thing? My family wasn’t rich, and i bet most of those guys were in similar or worse situations financially. Money, fulfilling a dream, taking advantage of an opportunity, and freedom. More than enough reasons to leave, the first chance they get! [/QUOTE]
