    Syracuse Chancellor Mike Haynie and AD Bryan Blair on the future of SU Athletics

    Syracuse University Chancellor Mike Haynie and Athletic Director Bryan Blair join Brent Axe on the latest episode of Syracuse Sports. Haynie and Blair discuss the short and long-term vision for Syracuse Athletics in a disruptive time for collegiate sports and Syracuse University. Among the topics the Chancellor and AD touch with Axe: -The urgency to raise revenue and transition Syracuse from an athletic department into a "sports and entertainment enterprise" -Why Blair believes "The next 24 to 36 months may be the most important in the history of Syracuse athletics." -The effect the Protect College Sports Act would have on SU Athleticss if passed. -What they are doing to secure Syracuse's place among the Power 4 with another round of conference realignment likely in the near future. -What would motivate Blair to extend the contract of SU football coach Fran Brown (Note: This interview was recorded prior to the Cal and Pitt losses by SU) -Is Syracuse spending $10 million on its basketball roster, a number widely seen as the minimum to get a Power 5 team into the NCAA Tournament?
