Still, Syverud’s willingness to take an uncomfortable step speaks volumes about the importance of this moment to schools like Syracuse, which aspires to play football at the highest level but may ultimately have little control over its fate.[/URL] “My job mainly is to look around corners and ensure that Syracuse University is well-positioned whatever happens to college sports in the future,” Syverud said. “That’s what I’ve been working pretty hard on the last year. ... A lot of people have interest in this because a lot of people are making a lot of money. I think this is in the best interest of fans and certainly Syracuse University, which is why I’ve been sticking my neck out on it.” <- -> Without the proposal — or something similar — Syverud warned that a dwindling number of schools will find themselves capable of competing for a national championship and that schools will invest less money in their Olympic sports. “I think it’s the most realistic solution if people want college sports to be preserved in a way that is recognizably attractive for the majority of fans and for the benefit of student-athletes,” Syverud said. “I think it’s not necessarily the model that’s the direction we’ll go if we let things happen based on money and greed.” So far, though, money and greed have paved the way. <- [/QUOTE]
