Poor attendance at college football, save for Penn St, is endemic to the northeast. It is a major reason no BE football could work long term without Penn St and either 2 or more teams from the South. For Syracuse, that can remedied only by winning and with an exciting offense. The latter should be a focus in hiring the new HC and staff.

I think Syracuse must act fully to become 'New York's team,' and that requires playing 1 game inside the NYC TV market each year. That will work best if the game is against a name foe: ND is the best example. I would have all Cuse games vs. ND be in NYC, if ND will bite. ND plays a Shamrock series (meaning 1 ND 'Home' at a neutral site) each year. I would agree to play ND always at Giants Stadium if ND would also agree. That would be a BIG game for Cuse inside the NYC TV market every third year.

Pitt is north of the Mason-Dixon line.

The only reason Cuse would be better off in the AAC is if the school intends to flounder in football. And even then, being AAC would punish basketball and lacrosse and other sports. That's the kind of talk that a UConn fan pretending to be a Cuse fan would promote, hoping Cuse would swap places.
