The back and forth between Syracuse and Providence basketball fans is getting old. Both schools got good coaches. Hodgson will obviously leave for a major program if he has success there. I'll give him three years top if he's actually an elite coach and wins. Which is a good thing for Providence. Syracuse fans have no reason to talk b/c the program has been bad for five years (one could argue more). Providence, meanwhile, hasn't made a Final Four since I was 3 (I'm 42) and so I'm not sure why their fans think they are Duke. Are they in a better position right now NIL-wise? Yes, because they don't have a football program. Are they in better shape longterm? Who knows? Tradition doesn't matter much anymore. It's about who has money. A player is going to pick Siena over Duke if they get $5M more from Siena.
