When including the 101 W's that were taken away from, [I]most importantly[/I], the school due to JB's 2nd probation, etc. Syracuse University is the 5th winningest program in the history of D1 college hoops.  Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Duke, Syracuse.

Well, '[I]the answer my friend is blowing in the wind.'[/I]  Look no further, for the most part, than the failed leadership through the years.  Lack of foresight, action, etc.  I mean, SU was given an ultimatum years ago to build a new football stadium to replace Archbold, or get booted from D1.  Look at the IPF.  Marrone begged and pleaded for an IPF and was told "someday," when "someday" was already a day late and a dollar short...etc., etc.

SU's track record from leadership has always been reactive vs. proactive.  SU was fortunate enough to survive and in some instances even thrive with leadership being as such, but with the landscape of collegiate revenue sports changing on a dime, well...good luck.  Moreover, and perhaps most critical, is the fact that SU is a small private, therefore, making it a continued uphill battle just to stay generally relative, let alone win at the level accustomed to.

In the end, you reap what you sow.
