Those taking issue with him also seem to not grasp that there is an imbalance in what it takes to bring attention to certain markets. We are a private school in CNY. CNY means very little to anyone nationally. Syracuse as a city is an after thought unless you are a college sports junkie. So if someone isn't willing to stand up and make sure people know there are big things going on then it's not going to happen.

This is also not something novel. There are wealthy members of smaller communities all across the country that do their best on varying scales to do the same thing. So the selfish ego take is honestly a pretty sad and sour grapes.  Not to mention the passive aggressive "happy for the guy" explanation. Lack of perspective is what it comes down to.

I will also add that I completely understand those who aren't fans of his- no sainthood in getting to his level of success and usually some questionable ethics in said business decisions. The ego take around SU sports though I don't buy.
