You may be correct, but we do know that AW could simply donate to a collective and this would all be a mute point, so the "fault" really only comes into play if Adam's money only comes on his terms. Although I am admittedly not a fan of AW, it is his money and he has the right to place certain strings that are attached to his donations and the university also has the right to pass.
Do you know that to be true? If so provide truth.
Look if you feel a certain way about him that’s fine. Im totally neutral on both parties. Don’t interact with either. No ties to either. It’s fine to not care for someone but I can’t say he’s right or wrong.
I mean, sometimes it is either/or. If Weistman isn’t a big donor, and he pisses off our real mega donors, then we should tell him to pound sand.
Very plausible. Again no idea but isn’t also possible Lallys didn’t care for AW and BOT felt it made sense to push him away? If so I don’t feel the way other feel toward other donors have any business. The goal is to help the school at the end of the day. Im playing devil advocate. What if it’s Lallys sour grapes?
I just think AW wants to help himself and promote himself first and help SU second (ride on his coattail). He's the only donor or potential donor that cares about the school after himself.
Who said he is getting preferred treatment?
He didn’t say it didn’t help him. It seems he believes it was helpful to both sides (whether you agree or not). That doesn’t bother me personally. If it’s donor having a problem with another that should not happen either
Agreed It seems so petty to not have both parties doing what they do for SU as long as SU agrees with it.
If AW won’t agree to the overall collective there’s probably nothing that can be fixed. Having decentralized NIL is what got SU behind in the first place. We are in a better position now than when AW was around. I am going to assume that it may upset him that he’s not at the center of it.
What kind of treatment is he asking for?
He wants to be like Mike Repole at St. John’s. That’s my take.
Even Repole donates to the main St. John’s collective though.
You are assuming. Maybe he does maybe he doesn’t. Maybe he enjoyed what was going on before. I couldn’t tell you but again you don’t know. If you don’t care for him fine. Why do you care how he supports SU. You can’t say he doesn’t donate. He said he did. His words. It seems like your stance is based on how you perceive him.
Repole donates to a collective. If AW simply did that he could get fluffed by the administration and the fan base to his hearts content.
I feel like we are running the same question over and over. I don’t care at all if he supports red and griff, see how I didn’t say SU. However SU should be able to dictate how funds are received for NIL purposes. The school needs control, I get that. That Doesn’t work with what AW wants to do. I get that too. I think people need to move on. I wonder if we will be having this conversation in a year if red isn’t retained.
Has it? It seems like a hell of a lot of people don’t know? Why is there supposedly an article coming out? Why have board members here tried to get all sides to come together. Nothing has been explained.
I guess i don’t care for the assumptions. I don’t know the hiccups but like I have said time and again if we are trying to keep up NIL it’s somewhat low hanging fruit
Yep exactly
SU told Weitsman that he had to run his money through a collective.
What do you mean there are buildings named after the Lallys. I don’t see the aw soccer field anywhere. I’m pretty positive they are also involved in football nil. Again as can donate anytime he wants.
We get it. You are an aw fan. Just explain to me why he won’t donate to a collective like everyone else. Your defense of him is all smoke and mirrors.
