As SU gets ready to enter the Atlantic Coast Conference this season, we remember Edwin “Eddie” Moss. Moss was a point guard for SU and ushered them into the Big East back in 1979.  He later became a newspaper publisher. He’s pictured here in 2005 (the same year he passed away). May he rest in peace.
