Syracuse University presented the National Football League Symposium: First and the Next Ten Tuesday on the state of professional football and the future of the NFL.

 

The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications hosted the National Football League Symposium: First and the Next Ten in the Hergenhan Auditorium Tuesday afternoon. 

Despite a slight delay, the NFL Symposium kicked off with a few jokes.

“I feel like we should play the ‘Are you ready for some football’ song, but I guess we can’t listen to that anymore,” said Dean Lorraine Branham.

During the first hour of the symposium, Branham introduced Syracuse alumnus and ESPN play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico, who served as emcee for the event.
