Bryan Blair: New Syracuse AD

It will be fiine... Or it won't be.

It's outside your sphere of control, so best you can do is hope for the best and let your opinions be known when it matters (if it matters.)

End of the day, we wait and see.

Rich people donor infighting happens at all big schools. It's not exclusive to Cuse. Mebbs we aren't the best at managing it either, but oh well.

Out of my control for now. Some day I will win a Billion dollars on a Mr. Beast game show. I assume I’ll have to jump over 150 homeless people, blind folded, on a motorcycle to win the grand prize but that’s a risk I’m willing to take.

edit: I just realized we are 5 seconds away from real life Blade Runner. What a brutal morning for me,

I agree, Schools all over have the same issue with power of donations.. Some of it thrown at athletics and some thrown at law schools or med schools or whatever the money wants.,
 
He is a human being with an opinion moderator or otherwise … good grief you are insufferable, sanctimonious, and just flat out ridiculous.
That is an incredibly truthful statement and I very much appreciate it
 
I guess I missed this in the thread. Did some whale get pissed off because Lyke didn't get the job?

It would seem so... And just so you know, it's the fans' fault.

We all need shut up and donate our tiddly winks to nil and let the rich people make the decisions with no flack... the way it's supposed to work...
 
Our ship will right itself to a reasonably even keel.
Call it intuition. Call it pollyanna analysis. Meanwhile enjoy the sturm and drang. I know I will.
 
Just read the entire thread and here’s my take away. The Lallys are mad with power. Syracuse, despite decades of shooting themself in the foot, continue to be obsessed with shooting themselves in the foot. Fran Brown is a phony and never intended on staying until his youngest daughter went off to college. I keep believing the lies of smooth talking, charismatic men (got that from my mother, I think) and everything is on fire, there’s no hope, and zero I can do about it because I don’t have 25 million to donate.

Feels like an asteroid hurling towards earth and there’s nothing I can do. Might as well just grab a beer, hang out with my wife and dogs, and relax while waiting for the inevitable. What an unbelievably depressing thread. On the plus side, I think I’ve finally come to terms that this thing, sooner rather than later, is coming to an end and there’s something a bit comforting in that.
To be completely honest with you. As sarcastic as I think you are being (always appreciate sarcasm) a lot of what you said is not far off.

The Lally’s are not good people to put it bluntly. They have a ton of money, are huge donors who think they should run things and have final say on things. Which they absolutely should not. They belittle people to get the power they want, the bully people to get what they want, and they’ll flaunt their money and threaten to take away donations and NIL if they don’t get what they want. They want you to think they are the boss of the town and university and they’ll go to the hilltops to scream it. Not good people, unfortunately we need them for NIL lol

Fran is a different case. Fran’s had some moments behind the scenes I hope he’s learned from and regretted. He’s been an a**h**e to a few people in the community that have been nice to him. He’s been less than pleasant to a few players that have transferred out and former players. He’s got a lot to learn still. I don’t think Fran is a bad guy. I think he’s still learning how to handle himself in the position he is in. I think Fran does more good than bad and we all have our faults. The Lallys on the other hand, not good people. If they didn’t donate all this NIL, and I was in power of the university I’d be telling them to kick rocks. Very toxic people
