[QUOTE="SuperintendentChalmers, post: 1983282, member: 535862"] While larger than Northwestern, Syracuse is a private school, which makes things more difficult when it comes to bigtime funding. They have a strong athletic history and a significant following in their area, but that area happens to be Central New York. Travel in and out can be very tough in winter. Rutgers is about an hour from both NYC and Philly. Syracuse is four hours from NYC, but 90 minutes from the Canadian border. If admission were based on athletic merit over the past several decades, SU would easily beat out RU, but, as we know, the decision was based on economic and media market considerations. [/QUOTE]
