A great way to fail in business is to allow emotions to drive decisions.  Syracuse is great at it.

They made an emotional decision based primarily on loyalty to keep Coach P.  Then after getting embarrassed in a bowl weeks later, they made an emotional decision based on being humiliated to let him go (at that point the right decision was to stick with the original decision and wait a year for the inevitable).  Then emotional attachments allowed JB to stick around way too long.  And I doubt he would have been shuffled out the door if he didn’t embarrass the school by saying he decided when he left and no one else - so even that was partially emotion-driven.  Trying to stay in house with no legitimate coaching search was also primarily emotion- driven.

Going back to the Big East would be a catastrophic decision based primarily on emotions of nostalgia and a sense of loss.  While it would be absolutely disastrous - based on the track record at Syracuse, I’m not sure a very bad emotional decision is ever fully off the table.
