Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 2049502, member: 780"] We could argue about how much was Boeheim and how much was The Big East, but clearly they both contributed to the meteoric rise of the SU program. SU basketball benefited tremendously from Big Monday and Patrick Ewing and Chris Mullin coming from being a "Regional" player (if that) to a National one. But the $64 question is whether SU is as attractive a program without its position in the Big East. Our woes the last few seasons (players leaving for the NBA and this team that has not yet jelled) may be just a temporary down cycle. But these programs are fragile. Once they start going down, it's very hard to reverse the slide. [/QUOTE]
