Message: [QUOTE="CIL, post: 271969, member: 22"] Our facilities are dogshit compared to our peers. WVU, RU, UCONN, Pitt, MD, and just about every school in the ACC have far superior lounges, locker rooms, and film rooms. Heck, even our remodeled weight room is mediocre. The Manley retro fit is a nice start, but the renovations will go a long way. It shows kids and coaches a like that we are serious about becoming a contender again. The football facilities at Ithaca College are nicer than SU, and that's not an exaggeration. The training room at my alma mater Hamilton was much better than what Syracuse has. I don't think IB is stating that we need to be Oregon East with the facilities. However, building a competitive infrastructure will go a long way in attracting better talent. I'm not sure a staff of Saban, Petrino, Wanny, and Ogeron could produce a top 20 class with the current facilities and state of the program. [/QUOTE]
