Anyone know what’s up with SUfootball NIL

[oldpinepoint]

In order for rich/powerful people to be held accountable for the things they do, you need to have people behind the scenes calling them out on their nonsense, because they are surrounded by yes men.

The "so-called insiders" know what's going on, and if they didn't care about the school they wouldn't be posting the information here. To call out people on this board for sharing the dysfunction that is clearly occuring is crazy.

And then to blame the fans, while we're in a recession and the price of gas is through the roof, for not donating their hard earned money for a few guys to play basketball... what an insane post.

Great post

Where is this coming from? Fran just hired the DC from Toledo and is bringing in guys from there Toledo.

I really cannot see BB and FB being that far apart. And as far as the Chancellor and the Lally's and the board level goes, if they don't straighten out then all of this chatter is a moot point anyway.

This is a massive off ramp for Fran. JW hired him, and thats who Fran really swore his loyalty to.

If the rumbling about the NIL and impact on our current players doesn't get fixed, and like asap, it's an easy out. And Fran looks like the smart one.

For months it was MH was going to be great for sports. It's getting late early.

Sorry babe, gotta sell the house. John Lally told me that it's my fault that Syracuse is bad at sports.

Would that change if we hire Hodgson?

Damn good question.

Bnoro, I don’t agree with you often but this post is spot freaking on.

Thank you for saying exactly how all the fans are feeling

Does Lobdell factor in to this at all? I'd have to imagine he is still one of the biggest basketball donors, although I'm sure it doesnt compare to the Lallys

He is who I said is very very very close to melo. They are very tight. Vinny does a ton for the program. But he’s most likely going to support no matter what. Lallys don’t do anything for bball like Dash said.

The kid aside, strikes me as a guy who does this as a passion project.

As Rockhound said in Armageddon...

"A busted athletic department? And I'm strapped in here? I had a great spot picked out there!"

 

[MadNY3]

As I stated in a previous post. Many so called insiders really have no clue.
If Fran, the Lally’s, and other donors besides JB decide to leave, it’s not because of a lack of passion and appreciation for Syracuse. It’s because of the foolishness of the “fans”.
None of us know what’s happening behind the scenes at this time, but let’s have faith in the true supporters and boosters we have.
And maybe if some of you charged your time you spend trashing individuals on the internet to NIL, we would win a national championship

This post is amazing. Amazing like when you are driving and pass a car flipped over on a fire hydrant and can’t stop looking at it…

 

[JRHEETER]

Btw when these posters are blaming the fans, they are blaming us all because we wouldn’t let Heather Lyke be the AD.

Just chew on that for a moment.

 

[SU in Hershey]

I agree but he needs to win some games this year to find that situation.

If he makes his decision before the season starts, or it is effectively made for him, then winning games makes his exit strategy even easier to execute, and the pain, anger, and despair that follows for SU’s program, players, and fans all the more lamentable…as it would have been preventable, too.

 

[rrlbees]

Would that change if we hire Hodgson?

My PERSONAL opinion only. i think he would.

 

[PAcuse]

Any chance the chancellor and AD can like all of them in a room and make the play nice or says the self destruction button already been pushed?

 

[cusefan88]

Seems to be a bunch of missteps but ultimately this all comes back to Kent forcing Heather Lyke into Athletics but reporting to him. Absolutely poisonous move.

It would be insane even if she was great. The fact that she’s her makes it unconscionable.

Comes back to giving her a chance she didn’t deserve in the first place and a pay rate that she definitely didn’t deserve

 

[GoSU96]

Starting to wonder if Syracuse is all that different from Rutty

All the hate we spew on them and then our school does this.

Embarrassing and disgraceful

Embarrassing and disgraceful? On who’s part?

Adam Weitsman sitting here laughing right now

Drying his eyes with the money he never contributed.

I do believe this is right and ultimately what started a lot of the dominoes.

There was always going to be a major fall out when it came time to hire an outsider as a basketball coach. Like this is the most obvious thing ever. It’s so obvious, there should be an epiphany coming soon. Still a necessary step that needed to be taken. The old Syracuse way approach to basketball simply does not work in the ACC to be where Syracuse wants to be. And I’m not talking really about the zone, I’m talking about offense. It needs to be accepted. Thankfully the Lally’s didn’t get its way on Lyke, but in the same breath I hope they get its way on BH. Bryan Blair will have the voice of the fans and that matters. Also, I really hope they can keep Fran happy, though I think there is another superstar on staff now (Vince Kehres). But agreed with everyone here, better and much stronger together than apart. It’s messy, but the right people are getting the jobs so far, so hopefully things resolves itself.

 

[GoSU96]

That’s the really sad part. We were finally looking in the right direction. And totally unforced errors because we have a new chancellor who wanted to immediately push for a new AD. I mentioned to others before but it made zero sense as a brand new chancellor to rush into a new hire and take on this risk. And and it immediately backfired before your AD even hits campus. There was zero reason to push JW out. Give it a year and then do this all. Egos.

P redux

 

[JimBoston]

can anyone else confirm this or is this just wishful thinking that maybe its not all falling apart

I can't confirm if Syracuse brought NIL in house, but most universities eliminated collectives and brought the management of NIL in house last year. I'm surprised Syracuse hadn't done it already.

Yeah that would make sense
