Brent Axe reacts to the news that Syracuse AD John Wildhack has announced is retirement in July.

Axe discusses Wildhack's legacy and what he will be remembered for most. But there's one lingering question that will determine Wildhack's legacy and it relates to if/when he makes a decision on Adrian Autry's future as Syracuse men's basketball coach and then whom Wildhack would hire in his place in the event of a change. 

Axe also lays out what Wildhack's successor will be tasked with and what the athletic director position at Syracuse looks like in 2026 and beyond.
