Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 282621, member: 622"] I beg to differ about us being a "hoops" school in that for Pitt and Syracuse hoops is better right now but both schools are football schools, though. Each has made commitments to improve and has fired coaches for mediocrity. Pitt has been mediocre longer, basically since the early/mid 80's. We have been down further and have to climb further. Poor coaching hires have hindered each school but the dedication to football has always been there. Also, I point out that Syracuse always tried to improve football in the Big East. When that failed, they attempted to leave the Big East (2003). They still tried to improve Big East football up to the time they announced they were headed to the ACC. I think the ACC understands that being a football school is a long term dedication, not a short term deal like Rutgers. Syracuse has been dedicated to football, basketball and lacrosse for decades.
