Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5706685, member: 173"] If Syracuse ended up back in the Big East, dropping football would probably be required since TV revenues would be cut so much. At that point, once debt on renovations are paid down enough then imploding the Dome to use that prime real estate land for something more useful makes a lot of sense. That would mean basketball either builds a small arena elsewhere (like south campus) or rents War Memorial or works with the city to build a new arena for school and city use. So it’s not just “death of football”. Going back to the Big East has consequences for basketball proponents of the idea pretend won’t happen. If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that anyone claiming we can go back again is wrong. You never, ever can. We might be able to go forward into a new version of the Big East and Syracuse basketball - but that’s not what the fans are envisioning. And they won’t like it if it happens - not at all. [/QUOTE]
