Syracuse football worth $255MM

I seem to remember Syracuse was around the 60th TV Market in late 80s/early 90’s

Couldn’t agree more on the NY’s College Team. It was smart, catchy, effective and true. Really pxxxed me off when SU gave up the permanent Syracuse sign in Yankee Stadium.

Syracuse and Rochester have both slid down the list dramatically. In addition to Syracuse (88th) Rochester is now 79th. Both had been much higher in the 1980s

Apparently some VCs are interested in doing just that.

It will happen.

If I'm attempting to valuate a for profit company traded on the stock exchanges, one of the first things I'm looking at is actual profits. Syracuse has far more cash flow than other companies (programs) with much higher revenues. I don't know how the Wall Street Journal justifies that aberration when ranking Syracuse so low. Is it merely because they don't think Syracuse's market justifies a higher value? If so, they are putting feelings ahead of data! Which kind of invalidates everything they are doing here.

Besides, Syracuse isn't huge, but it's estimated as the 88th biggest television market, with a population of 871k. It also is a 4-5 hour drive to at least 5 really major population centers.

On a related note, Gross was kind of ridiculous in a lot of what he did, but his push to rebrand Syracuse as "New Yorks College Team" was one thing I wish that had continued after his replacement. If the college realignment powers that be give us even a partial share of credit for NYC TV when the chairs stop moving, we'll have a much better chance of being in one of them.

Of course, having winning basketball and football programs matters more...

Rutgers says hello.

A Bold New Vision for College Football Unveiled at Northwestern - Northwestern Athletics

Northwestern University and the Ryan Family officially unveiled the first public look at the new Ryan Field, a state-of-the-art $850 million sports and enter...

The majority of the townies living in Evanston hate the idea of this new stadium. They were happy with the glorified high school stadium. A lot of the scenes in The Express were filmed at Ryan Field.

Old thread, but I just found this Northwestern web page. The stadium design is indeed my old firm, the one that also did Ryan Fieldhouse. Keep in mind this is an $850 million stadium proposal, but there are some really nice strategies and some really great community aspects that while I don't think they will take hold in the way envisioned, (see your comment about the townies hating the idea) I know they are the kind of thing that many here have said they would love to see around the Dome (and perhaps some in the Dome). At the bottom of the page is a rendered video to describe aspects of the design.

Serious question... Is that the visual queue Schady uses to call chop blocks and leg whips the opponents victory formations??
