That argument by them is lacking context. In 2014, the fan base was at peak engagement and the brand was at peak prominence for the previous decade as well. Where the program was in 2014 would’ve for sure been at the top of competitiveness for NIL. I guess it’s easy to underestimate how big Syracuse basketball was not long ago, Saturday’s in January and February at the dome was the scene, arguably in the entire northeast. I think a reasonable expectation now is to get the program to regular tournament bids and have a number next to its name at times in January and February. If you fund to that goal, sometimes you may even overachieve and get on a run and achieve championship level outcomes. Once you regularly get back to that level, you may energize the fan base to fund at even higher levels. They had the funding and built a roster that should get a tournament bid and be in and out of the top 25 during the year. Just not playing close to that level. The program needs to perform to the level that games at the dome become events and not just another game. Need energy and enthusiasm again in the program.
