It really has nothing to do with Sean Tucker.

He is a terrific running back. Is he a superstar? I wonder about that.

What it's really about is marketing Syracuse University Football.

Right now, the Program has no story to tell.

If Sean - or some other notable RB - were given No. 44, it would be a headline in the sports world. It would run as a lead story on ESPN, and would include a whole package of video and storytelling, including the "Story of No. 44" with Jim Brown and those who followed.

It would bring back "The Express" - the first African-American to win the Heisman and would tell the story of the three-time AA Floyd Little.

It would prompt Stephen A and whomever to debate the bringing the number back.

It would place Syracuse University Football in the college football spotlight.

It would promote a really cool tradition - the passing down of a number to honor the GOAT - Jim Brown.

It would, in the process, inspire high school players to learn about the Legend and the Program - and perhaps cause them to aspire to pursue the number.

It's such a no brainer it's not even funny.
