It’s becoming more difficult to sort out the college hoops world with NIL and transfer portals. I’m having a hell of a time figuring out the names of my alma mater and their respective games.

I know every move to a new conference is done as a money grab and that not every school will benefit from the changes. Yet, I have to ask the question, has Syracuse basketball been relevant since they left the Big East?

I’m not complaining, just wondering. No school/program benefited more from the ESPN hype-machine and Dick Vitale was the prime mover. Before ESPN college game day spent hours on college campuses before big football games, Vitale was at the Carrier Dome with crazy Syracuse students. Nobody loved Boeheim more than the enthusiastic Dickie V.
