[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All it takes in college sports is one good coaching hire to begin a turn around. Has everyone forgotten about Indiana and Curt Cignetti already? [/quote] Well, what it really takes is money to attract the Curt Cignetti-types and their players. While Syracuse has a large alumni base, there have not been Mark Cuban / Phil Knight / Texas oil at TAMU -types to infuse money, and therefore credibility, into the program. I agree with the previous post. Sports isn’t the full answer, but it’s part of the solution (along with “right sizing” the school, administration and faculty). I also think Syracuse is getting too cute by half on yield management. I know two kids (obviously, anecdotal) who would have seriously considered Syracuse and unquestionably had the grades/scores, but were waitlisted. One got in off the waitlist but had already committed to a peer school, the other, oddly, never got off the list despite a 3.8 UW GPA and a 34 ACT.[/quote]
