It was done to help these programs by paying them, it certainly has worked over time very well for all 3. They have all elevated their programs as a result. We had the money, prestige and shared it with our closest CNY schools. JB had personal relationships with the coaches too and had the cachet to do it. I can’t blame SU for looking at schools that will help more in this new era from their perspective whether it’s financially and/or improving our ranking to get back to the NCAA etc. It doesn’t mean we won’t ever play them in the future.

We haven’t played football against Cornell nor Colgate either like we used to do
each year. We last played Colgate in 2023 and Cornell in 2005 (edit - sorry wrong info on Cornell) and I haven’t seen any complaints about those series becoming sporadic. Our schedules are more challenging and rosters for all teams in all sports have become year to year challenges causing uncertainty. Programs are trying to do what’s best for themselves not necessarily for what’s better for other teams.
