Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5665819, member: 173"] I’d expect athletic competitiveness is part of the objective statement at Syracuse, along with fiscal responsibility, educational rankings, community outreach, and likely other items. Part of the problem is the goals that flow out of that are always going to end up in conflicts - like we’d like to hire the top coach or build the best training faculties in the country but don’t have the money. And since this is a Syracuse sports message board, odds are strong people here are not ever going to feel like sports wins enough in those goal conflict resolutions. That leads to “Kent doesn’t support athletics”. “Kent doesn’t support athletics to the unreasonable degree I as a Syracuse fan want him to” is a more accurate way to phrase the opinion being expressed. You are trying to reason with people who have staked out an unreasonable position…it’s unlikely you’ll convince them of much as a result. [/QUOTE]
