Yeah, that all sounds great.

But there are lots of schools that have have superior situations that aren't being all that successful or who have failed to recapture earlier glories (e.g. Indiana).

In comparison to Syracuse, there are literally dozen of schools that are in much better locations in major metros with more to do and/or in balmier climes. And they have a lot more basketball talent in their areas.

Much bigger schools have many more alumni.

The biggest arena in the country is not even really an arena. It's one end of a football field which was not designed to be a basketball venue.

We are an ESPN staple because we generally win. If we stop winning, we'll get the same exposure as BC.

When I think of schools like Maryland, I'm amazed at what SU has been able to do. Because in my mind Maryland has huge advantages over Syracuse by being in DC, being a big state school, having a great on campus facility and a big fan base filled with some big-time contributors.

I have no idea what will happen when JB decides to retire. But I am not overly optimistic.
