I would rather we bring back wrestling. But I don't think it will happen.

Now you're talking. I hope you'll be able to get one with the new ACC revenues.

Baseball. Make it happen.

Title IX

Men's Hockey would be a better choice as far as high school talent.

Other Syracuse teams that need a mention are women's field hockey. BE regular champs, lost to UConn in the championship game but went to Final Four.

Also men's soccer team, which made it to the Elite 8 I believe.

We will set another SU record in the Director's Cup points this year. We are guaranteed to finish with over 500 points, topping last year's record of 452.5.

I don't even watch hockey, but I'd vote for a hockey team all day (yes, I know it's expensive). Let's stick to our strengths.

Title IX

You could add women's gymnastics and rugby and roughly have enough heads to have a baseball or hockey team.

I had heard at one time the reason SU never really invested in baseball was because LeMoyne had a powerhouse team going then and didn't want to be second fiddle in town. That's probably an exaggeration, though. It probably had more to do with Title IX and Jake not caring about baseball.

I bet if SU had a ball team the Chiefs would never have gotten away with putting the new stadium out near old MacArthur Field. It would have been downtown, where it belongs.

 

[Alsacs]

SU not having a baseball team actually helps the ACC out. They have 12 baseball teams now and with Pitt and Notre Dame it won't cause major realignment for ACC baseball. Pitt will slide into the Coastal Division and Notre Dame into the Atlantic with 14 teams. If Syracuse had a baseball team the ACC would have 15 teams and 1 division of 8 and the other with 7 thus I don't think Swofford/ACC office will care if Syracuse has a baseball team. Unless we had another women's sport it will be impossible to do. So some women's sports we could add are Gymnastics, Rowing, or Swimming.

What other teams need mention...'Cuse must be moving up in the Directors Cup.

The latest standings has Syracuse in 35th place with 360 points.

SU already has a Women's Rowing team.

Men's Hockey would be a better choice as far as high school talent.

Not sure if you are comparing to baseball or wrestling, based on other posts, but local wrestling talent can't be bad with Gene Mills running the show up in Phoenix. They just beat rival Fulton 61-16. My guess is that he would be the HC if SU ever did bring back wrestling and I'm pretty sure he would make SU immediately relevant.

so SU could end up somewhere between 4/5 in new expanded ACC - not too shabby for a program that has been running on a BE revenue stream.

The key word here is "could". Several ACC programs will score points with their baseball, softball and golf teams.

Last year, the Syracuse softball team earned 50 points. Those won't be showing up this year.

Even with those points not being in this year's Spring totals, the overall total from last Spring with those points was 180 and we are guaranteed a minimum of 166 points with men's and women's lacrosse with 173, 180, 190, and 200 also possible.

Last spring we also had 15 points in Men's T&F. Not sure where that came from.

Still, you're overall point is good. We would be middle of the pack in the ACC in terms of overall points. The ACC typically has 6 schools that routinely score over 200 points every Spring - FSU, UNC, UVa, Duke, VT, and MD. And even with MD leaving the two BE schools that always finish ahead of us will also be joining the ACC - ND and UL.
