Melo Center Naming

[ChunkyMonke]

Please provide me signage that says Manley Field House on the exterior of the Lally Complex.

I’m stating that there is no longer a Manley it’s all named Lally

So Carmelo not only was aware but signed off? Good job Etan.

Etan needs to be muzzled. My man is losing it.


Actually its quite funny how some of the people who have recently been distanced from the program are throwing fire on this absolute nothing burger.

Sure makes you go hmmmm.

Why miss an opportunity to try to disparage the lally family once again.

And Paulie added that Manley Field House is part of the Lally Athletics Complex, which it officially is not.

What are you talking about?? Manley is essentially the center of the whole complex.

I get it, this all can be hard to tell if you have never gotten to go inside the athletics complex. But literally this is ALL one building connected together.

Steve Infanti just mentioned this on Orange Nation. Categorically stated that Melo was absolutely aware and in favor of the move. Gave this as an example of a random social media post that has no basis in fact and grows legs. (My words).

I know he was but still didn’t need to happen that way. Could have left that area alone imo

yea infanti said on his show that it's a non issue because melo knew and was in favor of it.

But but but, broccoli hair kid said he didn’t know!!

My rule of thumb would be that cooler names prevail on cooler facilities!

If Tirico or Costas give $5, put their names on some cool ****.

If Melo gives $5 put his name all over cool ****.

If Gadsen gives $5 after winning a Super Bowl with the Chargers next year, put his name on some cool ****.

Heck, I'd call it the JMA Wireless MELO DOME - just cause he's one of 87 people that still attends a lot of home games and 'The Melo Dome' sounds cool!

If people without household names give money, give them gigantic fonts all over the buildings the dorks use. All of them! They can have all those!

The exception is if they have a cool last name - Manley sounds badass. I'd keep that one.

100% joking.

He’s doing some other things at the moment to add some sizzle to the steak

With all due respect this has already been known as you stated. people are attempting to make something out of nothing and it is honestly Ill will and drama. The former player has serious issues, borderline dangerous if you do not agree with his delusions. This is from a Syracuse homer for sure, who unequivocally has objectivity however. I very much appreciate all you do for the goodness of Cuse

From someone who is and has been so generous because of big picture student athlete initiatives. They are also aware of the current climate we live in as it relates to literally what is considered a true attack on student athletes, on all levels, except those project at a high Division 1 level to specific institutions seemingly now. , The entire system is what supported all arms of major college athletics and it certainly and exclusively did not consist of athletes who went on to play professional sports. the percentage is 2% for Division One athletes as it relates to college football and less than that certainly as it relates to college basketball.

What happens to the rest, They can be exponentially impacted with the college experience and most importantly the benefits of a college degree, socialization, meeting new friends, future business colleagues and most importantly family impacts that literally penetrate society in a beneficial way. For so many would not have had this opportunity otherwise. That was me and so many others. I hope it can be fixed, I honestly do not think so however and that is much bigger than Syracuse University. However I will not forget what it did for me and so many others. We will see.

The above gentleman in my opinion is not reflective of such ideals as evidenced by his behavior. I will stick by the Rudy Hacketts of the world who was much before me.

There’s plenty of those, but they aren’t giving 25 million

Yeah .. it’s a lot. Build a statue or something . A huge plaque. Don’t stick a name on something that has a name already from a more important donor
