Message: [QUOTE="General Joe, post: 3423978, member: 6967"] I know for a fact that Syracuse is a great school. So here is what I will do. I will show you some pretty undisputed reasons why Syracuse is a great school that kids would want to attend. You can give me your excuses as to why it isn't and kids wouldn't want to come here. Academics- HR managers and recruiters will speak to how valuable a degree from Whitman or Newhouse is, ask one. If you need help I will give you the number to mine. Sports programs- The football program is legendary known for the greatest rb of all time as well as the 1st African American heisman winner. The basketball program is among the top and most recognizable in THE WORLD. Facilities- The Carrier dome is world famous and known worldwide simply as "the dome". Currently in the process of being upgraded. Its incredible how many players have spoken on wanting to play in the dome. Another benefit is we literally play half our games in a perfect climate for football games, inside not out in the cold. Competition/ Exposure- We play in a conference that has the best team in college football the past few years as well as multiple other prestigious schools with high brand recognition FL ST, Mia, ND. We play in games in large media markets that are easy to visit or watch on tv (Pittsburgh, Boston, Miami etc) I live in Houston TX and 6 to 7 games are on tv without me having to go into the 600 or higher channels on Direct TV to watch Coach/gameplay/player development??????? This is the one area that is questionable. 3 of 4 years amongst worst in P5 and changing schemes, new coaches. Also the last few coaches have had huge question marks and even Marrone who was a good coach didnt have the grassroots ties to high school recruits as a NFL guy coming to college. Ironically he also didnt have the NFL stature or exposure of say a Herm Edwards or Lovie Smith to simply drum up interest in recruiting circles. So again Syracuse is a great school AND historic program we just havent had great or historic coaches or recruiters recently. Now you tell me why Syracuse is so bad. I will wait!!!! [/QUOTE]
