I rarely chime in on these Adam threads anymore because they are just repeats of each other, but it feels that way to me too. Regardless of how you feel about Adam's situation with SU, I'm pretty sure he's not the modern day version of Mother Teresa and it doesn't smell like potpourri when he leaves the bathroom.

Yikes, nobody has said he’s a saint. But, when things are said that are untrue, I am compelled to call it out.

You need to quit being judgemental, you are better then that.
When someone has paid their debt to society, that is enough.
That's the country I spent 4 years in the military for.
You might not like someone but none of us have the right to judge others.

I disagree. We have the right to judge others. And in fact, almost all of us do every day of our lives. I could site a ton of examples of people that I would bet you would say are scum. There is a big difference between that and doing something about it. Or denying them their rights.

That was a 2 part question.

Are you saying that Chancellor Syverud may have something to say about AW and NIL, as Etan called him out about?

Or are you commenting on people on the BOT being willing to cross Fran & Melo on NIL? I didn't really understand what's being said with that 2nd point.
 
I don't believe AW will be welcomed back in the fold no matter who makes the effort. I don't know what I don't know about it. I do know what I tried to do. Who I talked to and the reaction to my efforts. And the reaction I got from KS. I will report everything soon. The reason I have held back is that I am pretty sure that the PS is going to do a story on it and I don't want to step on their story.

Will we eventually find out why some at Syracuse are so butt hurt at AW? I mean, I understand that they didn't see eye to eye with what he did will the whole celebrity to games things but I assume there is a lot more to the story because this seems crazy not to try to work something out with him (provided that he really wants that and is willing to be somewhat flexible in his approach).

Well hopefully their story is able to tell all sides of the story. What annoys me is to be inundated with one side, here and on social media. Then hear and see most of the people I know just blindly nod their heads because someone has boat loads of $ to potentially spin a narrative that a college can’t refute or counter. To believe, the college, for no reason at all decided to wash their hands of a multi $$$ (whatever he is) is ridiculous story to believe on its own. Then to have that person play victim for the last 2-3 years, over and over. Continue to drag SU’s name through the mud in the name of “I want to help SU” feels fake, entitled and self serving. I teach middle schoolers, the fact this has been going on for this long is as childish and immature as anything I see from kids who don’t know any better.

And not a surprise in today’s world, everyone laps it up and gets in line to give him reach arounds. At least let’s use some common sense and assume that maybe there’s two sides to the story. At the very least.

Bingo. He's won the PR battle, I'll give him that.

Based on what we know about him, it wouldn't surprise me if he pays for the random SU fan account instagram posts to keep himself relevant.

A few dollars here and there to keep your name out there/making sure people are defending you whenever your name pops up are a worthwhile investment when you're a billionaire.

4 events a year, and I don't think they made it past year 2.

Jeff Knauss is pushing a new elite membership only networking group, I think with the other guy, the motivational speaker.

I saw Jeff speak at a church in Valley during COVID. It was an entrepreneurship event sponsored by SU and the church, to foster new businesses among inner city folks.

I work with these people all the time. We are talking about people opening cleaning businesses, transport businesses to take elderly people to and from medical appointments. People starting food truck businesses, small restaurants, car detailing, construction businesses. This was the audience.

And he was talking to them about investing in crypto.

I thought to myself, this dude has never been poor. He has no idea at all who these people are, and what they need to do to improve their lives. Trust me, it wasn't crypto.

A lot of phony people out there nowadays, because of the fun-house distortion of social media. Life is so fake, and people are so full of it.

Do you know something and just holding it close? Or just don’t like him as a person?

I've said my piece in this thread already. I don't have respect for people who take financial advantage of others to grow their own wealth, and then flaunt that wealth.

So you are vehemently opposed to him helping the program financially? However large or small?

If he doesn't want to make it about him, and donate his money to a collective, he could do that at any time. I have no idea who donates to the collectives, so it is what it is.

But if he just wants to use SU as his personal PR factory, I'm not interested.

Not all donors are just going to submit money without notoriety.

Im not going to pretend to know his agenda, maybe you are aware I don’t know. I just cant imagine being Wildhack or whomever and asking for donations, knowing you lost someone willing to give donations more than the average person.

It also makes me feel like your answers for lack of NIL for basketball last year is falling on deaf ears.

The situation really makes zero sense and it deserves some closure or rectification but I can’t assure you that whichever sides pride is in the way won’t allow it

I have no information at all but this is way more simple than people want to admit.

We have a group of super rich old white dudes that have dug themselves in multiple years now with comments both in private and social media.

Neither AW, JAB, the BoT or Lally can stomach saying they were misguided in the past on what they did and said or how things went down.

Not withstanding the social media posts that will inevitably come when and if the relationship is repaired. These guys would rather die than have people out there saying "Told you So" or "You were wrong all along"

Personally I could care less, but if Melo says it's cool, them I'm cool what what he thinks is best.
Expand...
Hopefully Melo can be the peacemaker and we can get all parties pulling the same direction. We're all in the same gang.
