Syracuse is in an Elite Group of Schools

I think only Cal is worse than us. All other schools stay competitive.

Maryland has been pedestrian in virtually all sports in the last 15 years. I'd take our successes over theirs. And Arkansas is one of the forgotten schools in the SEC.

If you check the dates that some of these championships were won, it's easy to see how much the football landscape has changed.

MSU and Ark. won championships in the mid-60's. SU, UMd, and UCLA got theirs in the '50's. And, it's already been noted how far back we have to go to find Cal and Stanford.

Today, it's highly unlikely that any of them will compete for a championship. The trend has been for fewer and fewer schools to be contenders.

Yeah, CTO isn't 100 - yet!

I just turned 76, got to experience both, and lacrosse championships

We Dick McPherson almost pulled it off. Just keeping the door open...

And that was more than 30 years ago.

Damn shame conference realignment did not happen in 1960. We'd be sitting pretty.

They have 10 national championships across all sports since 2010. In what way is that pedestrian?

Forgive me for not caring about competitive cheer, field hockey and women's lacrosse in a thread about football and basketball.

Ahh I didn't realize the definition of "virtually all sports" was limited to football and men's basketball.

FOOTBALL'S JET-AGE SECRET

In room 1016 at the Netherland-Hilton Hotel in Cincinnati the other day a small group of very serious men finished the outline plans for a jet-age college

What could have been...

 

[Dinkyspond]

I think the only school that won both championships "recently" is Florida.

are Florida and UCLA the only teams to win baseball, football and basketball. Michigan and Ohio State might have won a baseball natty too way back

 

[MadNY3]

But that is in the past. What did SU do lately?

I think they factored in basketball’s 2026 national championship and football’s 7-on-7 national championship in 2033.

 

[Moontan]

SU still claims to be the only private school with a CFB championship and NCAA basketball tournament championship.

 

[FrancoPizza]

For sports that matter, yes. I'd even go so far as to get rid of all other non-revenue producing sports just so we can afford a nutritionist.

 

[1959champs]

Correct. All of those schools won their championships in the past.

I’m Biff Tannon and can tell you who will win championships in the future.

I-A Winning Percentage 2000-2021

It’s amazing that Kansas is last among Power 5 teams in win percentage since 2000, despite having a 12-1 Orange Bowl championship season in there. Really shows how bad they’ve been post-Mangino.

They were 50-48 under Mangino, 30-133 otherwise.
