Reply to comment by bigtuna623 in Boeheim out after 47 seasons at Syracuse by Jonas_Venture_Sr

Syracuse averages about 10 feet of snow each winter. It's uncommon to be over 50F from November until about April and there are usually a few weeks that are under 10F and days under 0F. Recruiting players to come experience that weather if they're from a part of the country that doesn't really get winter can't be an easy sell.

This is a big one most casual fans don’t think about.

You can go to a team in the Carolinas where 50° is cold, or to Syracuse where 50° is the high for most of the months of your college career. Not exactly an even playing field.
