Yup this is all aw behind the scenes pulling strings. He got his buddies devo and eton feeding the narrative knowing su won’t or can’t defend itself. He can donate anytime if he wants back in. He doesn’t. Put up or shut up. He will not put up. Bank on it.
Guy is not trashing the university. Quite the contrary. Listen to the entire hour’s podcasts
Not picking a fight here. How do anyone us not connected to the University or running an NIL know what anyone else has given?
Again, these are estimates he makes up. He puts them on his website and they just cite his website. These "articles" are designed to be puff pieces that turn up highly in search results. Everything about AW is curated so you see what you want. Is it all true? Could be. But you're just blindly taking his word for it when a lot of facts simply don't add up, especially given the business he is in. It's not like he started a high margin software company that he sold. Lots of folks have splashy cars and properties who aren't worth as much money as you would think. And most of them don't brag about how much they're worth either. The folks that claim to be the richest often aren't.8 mill a month on scrap, estimated 1.5 billion, this was awhile back highly doubt they were 500 million off their estimate.

Man the hate for this guy is next level, you would think he took your girl off your arm.
Maybe my memory fails me but didn’t Weitsman snag Elijah Moore, bring him court-side fly him to the dome private and he ultimately committed to Syracuse?
He is not a billionaire. I bet he’s not even close.
He gave him a ride, yes. But no money. Griff was on him early. And Choppa’s dad grew up a huge Syracuse fan. It’s why it was disappointing things didn’t work out there. Kid really wanted to play here.
This is exactly why people are so skeptical of his actions and intentions. He didn’t go to SU. Why isn’t he giving $2mm to Nassau CC or whatever his alma mater is (LIU) ? Because there’s no publicity in it, that’s why.
After listening to the whole interview, it is clear he doesn’t want a building named after him. He said it. He doesn’t want to contribute to academic success, he doesn’t want to contribute to the school, he doesn’t want to contribute to the AD, or the football team. He wants to make the biggest splash for the smallest cost he can, and that is the hoops team. Football could take ten top tier players to equal the same potential impact of one such hoops equivalent. If he buys the next Melo or DC and the team makes a FF run, he’s getting splashed on the front page. For hoops, that’s his $2mm investment, whereas for football, that’s a $20mm-$30mm investment. His ego is fed by having the camera on him. By showing him sitting next to celebrities. It isn’t in the success of the school, it’s in the low cost of entry.
Dude it’s not Severud as the primary problem, it’s the high zoot high donor alum forcing his hand. And Severud doesn’t have the unique eq ability to solve the problem with a meeting of all involved meeting of the minds.
Don’t know what you’re referring to here, I’m referring to etan Thomas with that post
No donor in the country picks the kids who play on the team. The coaches do. Just like they did this offseason, they ID guys and they get donors to buy in. A few stepped up this offseason for basketball. We even got some new big ones on the FB side during the spring portal, too.
My bad then. I thought you were referring to AW.
It is very ironic that Boeheim who has shown to maybe say more then he needs too to the media. Has kept pretty silent here. Good for him, not a good idea to get in the middle of if I were him.
