Message: [QUOTE="OCESIP, post: 4562249, member: 8702"] I think that as the whole NIL issue continues to evolve, it's apparent that AW and the other Syracuse collectives keep us in the ball game but don't give us any significant competitive advantage. We're just another player, probably middle of the road at best when compared to schools in the big 5 conferences. It's not a criticism, just the reality. I see it first hand in the southeast. Given that it's not simply a matter of throwing $$ on the table, SU still needs to be competitive in the typical basketball areas of concern that a player is looking for. To me this means being more competitive in the ACC (top 4 would be nice), top 20-25 nationally, tv exposure that comes with being in the upper echelon, avid fan support. Probably most significant a record of player development and success in getting players to the NBA. Priority #1 for the top tier athletes. [/QUOTE]
