Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5308580, member: 6357"] The two schools and their situations couldn’t be more different. Night and day. DePaul struggled for years because they’re in a pro sports town and DePaul is an afterthought. They don’t have a football program and for years weren’t in a major conference. When they later joined the Big East in 2005, they were swamped by bigger and better brand schools. Their arena situation has been awful for decades. They played in suburban Rosemont that was nowhere near the city campus, and so very few students went out to see the games. Syracuse sports is essentially the city’s pro team and generates massive local and regional fan interest throughout upstate NY. Our brand is still leaps and bounds better than DePaul’s. [/QUOTE]
