Money is no longer an excuse

[cusefan88]

No wonder JB and Weitsman are friends. Two guys that love to hear themselves talk.

Looks like AW says he'll continue to support Siena with NIL after GMAC leaves.

He also confirmed that he was funding Doty's NIL through the Siena collective, tho did not say what his overall NIL contibution was, according to the Albany Times Union...

Will he help us out too, or are we too good to take his money?

Mods, can we put a sticky at the top of the basketball board that AW never gave us any money? It gets tiring responding to the same thing over and over again.

To be fair when he was here nil wasn't really a thing here yet.

Yep, and he didn't want to work through a collective... fact that he is doing that now is a plus.

He can do that here now pretty easily I hope (whenever they announce the new bball collective??) I'm sure GMAC will be having convos with him (if he has not done so already).

AW said that he would fund Gerry no matter where he goes

Thought that was the major issue with him, not wanting to donate through a collective?

If he's going to start going through a Cuse collective, i'll believe it when i see it.

Wonder if his continued Siena support will be due to Blackwell getting the job?

Great. All he ever had to do was work through the same processes that everyone else did.

He's an odd duck and didn't want to do that. If he's changed his mind then I'm sure SU will gladly accept his support.

Times Union article says he's paying for Doty's NIL throught Siena's collective. So he's doing it, just not here (yet?)

Here's his quote from the same Times Union article:
"Has there been anything official yet? Until I hear something official, there’s really nothing for me to say. Wherever Gerry goes, I’m going to help Gerry.”

Maybe I'm misinterpreting his idea of support. Maybe he only intends on offering hugs after losses. Maybe he's offering NIL.
I suppose we can only hope that his love for Gerry outweighs his grudge against SU.

I think with Kent out, that will help.

Big question is whether the Lallys even allow him to come back. There may be "shoot on sight" orders, LOL.

It's not like the Lallys have covered themselves in glory over the past few months. Obviously they've donated infinitely more to SU than Weitsman, but they've now established their own special brand of pettiness and greivance.

No question. But money talks.

Carmelo got 2nd billing on his own building, after all... and to say the wife is an AW hater might be putting it lightly.

Hopefully some hatchets can be buried...

Does everyone think it’s a good idea to s pod bash big time donors. Personally I do t care what their names are, there many donors that remain nameless. Why don’t we discuss possible assistant coaches, what’s needed from the portal instead taking shots at donors. I don’t know any of them no do I care to. I’m not defending anyone just tired of the constant rehashing of the process.

Let’s see…..View attachment 261580

Dude needs a life if he’s subtweeting the Syracuse coaching hire lol

No. Because he paid for several of our players. Daisha Fair, even after he left SU he paid her NIL, and I think 2-3 men's players. He just didn't do it the way SU preferred.

 

[Blanko97]

We won’t come up short.

Checks better be written already

 

[Blanko97]

I thought other insiders said he didn’t end up paying Moore?

We're in the money thread. We're discussing money. There's literally a thread to discuss assistants. Go read that one.

And with a new Chancellor I think even though the Lally's are big donors. I think their pettiness won't be put up with. I expect those type of things will be shut down fast.

Takes two to tango. That pettiness was established during the AW v Lally showdown a few years ago. They got a free pass because AW's s-show was more out in the open for everyone to form an opinion on.

So tired and so untrue. But, I agree that the whole discussion is tiresome. Soon, you will all have to find something else to whine about. Most likely HOW he helps us get players.

Oh Bob… the pettiness never stops when money is at stake, especially those numbers

 

[anglerman]

Like the great AW said, stay the course, boys and girls and NBs!

He’s not great. I don’t remotely understand why so many on this board think he is

 

[miamicuse]

I think he did pay for a cuse WBB player nil back in 2022 or a I misremembering?
