Let’s ask UCONN if they’d like to trade places. We go back to the Big East and they join the ACC. You think the school with the two best basketball programs would choose to stay in the Big East?  UConn is hemorrhaging money. They pay Hurley the same amount of money that they earn from their football TV contract

Syracuse has a chance in the portal/NIL era if it wants to take advantage of it. It’s up to the University administrators to figure it out. They may have the money they may not. But they have a much better chance trying to pay players than trying to simply convince them to come here instead of somewhere else.

But please stop thinking we’d be better off back in the Big East. College hops is dangerously close to being irrelevant nationally. It barely gets talked about until March Madness. And as far as GTown rivalry… well that ship sailed and sunk many years ago.

It kind of like when people refused to see that things were going bad with Pasqualoni and Boeheim. They were watching in the present but seeing the past. And just like with football Greg Robinson wasn’t a good hire. That didn’t mean Coach P didn’t need to be replaced. Autry wasn’t the right hire but Jimmy needed to go long before he did.

The 80’s and 90’s were the best era in major SU sports history. A relevant football program, a national power basketball program and the best lacrosse program in the country. This could be the most dangerous time for Syracuse athletics in its history. If a large part of the fan base continues to pine for the past they should be careful what they wish for.
