On more of a tangent …while we certainly have bias on this forum, there is an important reality in that it’s important for SU basketball to matter in the cbb landscape for the benefit the ACC and hoops overall.

While it may be closer to the end of cbb being about playing for the school vs the contract money, what carries the true meaning of cbb in terms of schools, communities and fans is the branding. When too many the brands that built and defined the sport struggle, you see what happens. The SEC money machine takes over and the game as a national sport takes a step backwards.

The ACC brands need to re emerge to balance things out and bring back some of that school pride. The portal has eternally changed the game and that element of it ,yet, there is some opportunity to reduce the impact even if it never can be what it once was.

What Red is able to accomplish is thus bigger than just SU given the state of the sport right now. I still think it’s all slowly circling the drain as a sport but hopefully there is some life left to be captured before that point or even enough to pause it for a bit.
