Message: [QUOTE="IthaCuse, post: 5616641, member: 10689"] It's tough, because two things can be true at the same time. It can be the case that our basketball NIL is insufficient for us to be competitive at the highest level of college basketball, AND that NIL is not even close to the reason we have 15+ loss seasons and lose to teams like Hofstra. In fact, that's the single most clear cut argument that Red Autry should be fired. College basketball has 350 D1 programs, and Syracuse is easily a top 50 program as far as resources are concerned. We do not get top 50 type results, as top 50 would be a result that usually places us on the good side of the bubble. It's not like football, where being ranked 50th puts you roughly in the 6-6/7-5 range. I think a future coach will get better results with a similar NIL budget, but ultimately I don't see that we have the resources to be a top shelf program. [/QUOTE]
