You're wrong on many levels.
 
The uniforms do not bring in talent.
 
The question is not whether "Syracuse is on par with the Yankees" whatever that means.
 
Regardless of the amazing history of the SU Football Program - something I just don't seem to think you appreciate - the issue is branding.
 
The Yankees would never mess with their brand. Just like Oklahoma and Alabama and others won't mess with theirs.
 
Rutgers was quick to do it because it never had a football brand. ND does it because ND has become a corporate entity that has jettisoned much of what made it special.
 
I would prefer to follow Bama and USC than follow Oklahoma State and other schools who really have no brand.   
 
The fact is that most college football fans do recognize the traditional SU Football uniform - and most agree that it's a great uniform. In fact, over the years, many copied the uniform - Illinois, Clemson and Florida to name three.
 
We have a recognizable brand that we have dumped. Why? Because we have an administrator who used to be at Oregon and who is trying to leave a mark at SU?
 
Reasonable people can disagree.
 
You know my position.
