While that may be true, SU tuition is far beyond most other schools. Therefore the hit is far bigger.
Just doing a quick search, Syracuse tuition is $57K/yr. Michigan out-of-state tuition is $53K. Ohio State and Penn State are around $35K.
Then Michigan and Penn State sponsor 29 sports. Ohio State sponsors 36. Syracuse sponsors 20.
So the difference isn’t as gigantic as you seem to be implying, AND larger state schools make up for a big chunk of the difference by sponsoring more sports.
Regardless, we have a school which has chosen to not prioritize athletic investments for 30+ years. Claiming we don’t have enough to pay the buyout of an unsuccessful football coach would just be maintaining the historical priorities at the university.
