WAIT! We were in the Southern Conference???
(I kid...I kid!)
If you are in Division I, you were probably either in the Southern Conference, the Missouri Valley or Sun Belt at some point. And excluding the Northeast, Big 10 & MAC and west of the Rockies, its overwhelmingly likely.
Syracuse was never in any of those conferences.
Well, then there is only one conclusion to make: Syracuse is not a Division I program.
(he did omit the NE though - and the Big10, the MAC and everything west of the Rockies - which seems like a lot to exclude frankly)
MVC and Southern Conference have both had probably close to 50 members. Sun Belt is probably pushing 30. Appalachian St. and North Texas are the only schools I can think of that have been in more than 1 of those 3.

You can add the following schools:
New Mexico State: Missouri Valley and Sun Belt
Georgia Southern: Southern and Sun Belt
