Loving the Orange: Syracuse surpassed Kentucky last season as the NCAA’s leader in men’s basketball attendance. An average of 22,978 Orange fans packed the Carrier Dome, edging the average 22,520 Wildcat fans who filled Rupp Arena. North Carolina ranked third with 20, 522. Syracuse reclaimed the title it held for a decade from 1985-1995. Kentucky had been the leader since. Attendance throughout the entire NCAA remains high as more than 30 million fans in sum attended men’s basketball games for the third consecutive season. Virginia Tech saw the biggest increase in Division I, increasing attendance from 6,342 per game to 9,405. The move from the Big East to the ACC seems to have paid off. [6/24/05]

"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
