Should’ve rented a fully loaded Subaru, I hear you teleport automatically to a ski lodge in Vermont and the Von Trapp ladies lift their skirts up to welcome you with a couple of warm shots of maple syrup.
Just read the Axe article everyone. As i posted Kent screwed up. This one is on him.
Beware of false prophets.
I give it a year, maybe less. He’ll get a headline or two but it’ll fizzle out real quick
FWIW, one of Syverud’s initiatives is pushing the academic aspect of eSports and using that as a student recruiting tool.
I’m sure that was an even handed account of events. Axe hearing one side and being the bastion of objective journalism that he’s know for.
A$$ move by Weitsman tbh. He used the university to make it about himself. And Brent Axe's article on Syracuse.com is ridiculous. He is another free PR mouthpiece for him.
Do we think that this is Syverud himself coming up with this initiative? Or do we think it’s the admissions department feeding him info that they think will hep with student recruitment?
Help me out here. It is my understanding that Mr Weitsman is walking away completely because he thinks (or knows) SU does not want his high profile behavior. But what i don't understand, is if he is such a big fan and wants the programs to succeed, why wouldn't he still donate with less exposure? Now, I realize it's HIS coin, and he can do whatever he wants or not wants to do with it. But IDK, it just seems a bit strange to just walk away completely if he is indeed such a big fan. Is ego worth more than the program's success?Pretty bold announcement.
Adam Weitsman, SU’s biggest athletic booster, wants to draw 5-star players with eye-popping NIL offer
Weitsman said he decided to explore the NIL space after consulting with several people about what is permissible.www.syracuse.com
It is entirely of his creation. It’s well known.
How does anything related to a sports team you don’t play on affect your life? All the arguments, cheering, discussion etc is all for entertainment. If anyone is taking it too seriously, it’s you for even asking this question
Look, the guy who made a fortune in the pillow-soft world of scrap metal had his feelings hurt by rumors about a University chancellor who apparently is straight out of the Dead Poets Society administration. No one treated him this poorly when he massively expanded his Dad’s scrap metal business across territories. He can’t be expected to dial it back and just donate money for a year or so without the public stuff to let the dust settle.
lets for a second go with the narrative out there right now, I assume put forth by adam, and assume it's true.
Axe wrote two articles kissing AW’s a**, I’m not sure what to think about all that.
Ask your friend Jim about Adam Bees,get his take.
Just because he wants to start a new program that will attract full pay internationals to boost revenue after reading a couple higher Ed articles, doesn’t mean he isn’t a suit and a square. And by the book. Not sure the argument holds much water to me.
Relax, Francis. It was a spelling error.
Give me another example, aside from the conjecture about Weitsman, of how he's extraordinarily "by the book" to the detriment of SU?
adam says hold my beer....
