With tons of rumors and consternation over the state of realignment in college sports, a lot of Syracuse Orange fans have started to get nostalgic. We’ve seen people here and in other pockets of the internet where fans are simply suggesting that the Orange take their basketball and return to the Big East and let John Wildhack figure out whatever for the football program.
Look I grew up on Big East basketball. There was nothing better in the 80s and yes it was not easy to watch Syracuse leave the conference, but the Big East the Orange left wasn’t The Big East and in the last ten years it’s gone further from what it was.
