Syracuse has announced plans to finalize designs and begin construction on a brand-new, state-of-the-art indoor football practice center. But there’s one catch. It’s not all funded yet.
Here’s Darryl Gross:
“We’re looking for people to get involved.”
Should Orange Nation avoid counting its indoor chickens before they hatch?
“We will be seeking generous support of the Orange Nation to help us move this project and others to completion in record time as we gear up for our move to the ACC this fall. Several naming opportunities have been identified to recognize contributors at all gift levels for this important project.”
It’s highly doubtful SU will ever have the football equivalent of one of those unfinished South Florida condos with the crane laying motionless. But it’s interesting (and slightly risky) the university will attempt to put the ball in motion of such a huge undertaking without having all the financials squared away.

Typically, when a team is down 7 with 53 seconds to go in a game, the idea is to get a quick basket. If it happens to be a three-point shot, so be it. But score quickly and then play defense or get a quick foul. The Syracuse Orange attempted another approach, just keep shooting threes until one went down. They put that onus on their star player, James Southerland. Yeesh. The end...
