It's incredibly shortsighted to declare SU a basketball school now - in the 90's, when both programs were good, there was no doubt that Syracuse was a football school with a good basketball program as Boeheim himself said a few years later.  The football program has been down thanks to the cratering by Greg Robinson, but make no mistake that the program will be back.  Football at Syracuse has seen rough times, but when it does come back, no matter how good basketball is, there's no doubt that we're a football school.
 
I find it very similar to Detroit, which there's no doubt is a baseball town.  In the 90's when the Red Wings were winning Stanley Cups and the Tigers were awful, Detroit was still a baseball town.  Now that they're both good, it's completely apparent what sport is the most important in Detroit.
 
If the football program became a perennial bowl team and a competitor for division titles in the ACC, not even a national championship contender, you bet your ass that football will again be king in most peoples minds.
