Friday Conversation: How far should athletic rivalries go?

Related Topics: Louis Orr

Yesterday’s news that Syracuse Orange basketball great Louis Orr would be joining Patrick Ewing’s staff at Georgetown was jarring for SU fans — but especially older ones who specifically remember watching the “Louie and Bouie Show” in Jim Boeheim’s early seasons as coach.

Once I got past the shock of a Syracuse player willingly electing to get their paychecks signed by the Hoyas, I started to wonder, though: Would I do it?

Honestly, I think the answer is no. Now, there is a certain amount of money for which I (or most) would say yes to just about any job.
