Oh, in that case it’s because I know he’s in it for himself and benefiting the university is (at best) secondary. On the surface level, that is totally fine because it is his perogative to be selfish, but where it becomes a problem is when he presents it as university first. Bringing big names to the games is not to benefit the university evidenced by him not working with the university to setup meet and greets, interviews, coach/university endorsements etc. He does it to promote his brand under the guise of helping the university further it’s athletic goals. For example, his whole pay-for-friends club that he is starting is predicated on his ability to get into the ear of people like Tom Brady and Gronk. He flaunts them to show that he has all of these superstar “connections,” even though he pays for those people to be around him for short periods of time. The game just gives him an excuse to get free PR and promotion from syracuse.com.

He knows that there is no personal gain to come from smaller NIL so he isn’t investing in it, he says he only wants a 5 star guaranteed NBA superstar to come in not because they’ll help the team, but so he can buy him out of high school and own his ear throughout his career.

As I’ve said a couple times, I respect the hell out of a guy who can build a business and use his money to his advantage and he is allowed to be selfish, just be straight forward about it and don’t pretend that you’re doing this out of the goodness of your heart to help the university.
