OT: The Money is Flowing In (Across all Syracuse Athletic Programs)

Glad to hear it. Now let's just hope he can coach.

Ha, I think if they did a “chicks dig GMAC” marketing campaign, it would be very successful.

My wife, 82 ear old mother-in-law, 3 daughters 27-30 are ALL PUMPED for GMAC. Two of the daughters are in NYC working in the fashion world but they are ALL OVER the GMAC news. Full disclosure - they are SU sports loving ladies so I would have been disappointed if they were excited. And EVERY ONE of them HATES GTOWN just like my son and me.

Men's Basketball is officially over 100k on Giving Day!

Would be incredible if gmac could get to 15 mil for nil

My daughter who has been on campus the past many years as an undergrad and graduate student has witnessed very little buzz if any by the students the last couple days. Many of the kids were born when Jonny Flynn got here. They or perspective new students have never seen the team really be any good.
Good luck Gerry!

My wife, much to my surprise, was thrilled when I told her we hired GMac.

I didn’t think she even knew who he was.

Good chance the only two former players she knows are Gerry and Melo.

Chicks do dig G Mac!

Men's soccer and women's basketball have really done great.

Just got an emailed letter from GMac encouraging a donation. Very nice touch. Doing a nice job with those today.

Overall Athletics figure on the day is at 661k and rising.

GMAC and the Syracuse Men's Basketball program is at 727 individual donors on the day! Let's see if they can hit 1,000.

all aboard the Gerry train! It's a Gerry world and we're just livin in it! Gerry hysteria!

Ok enough superlatives. Just gave AND renewed my season tix for the first time in 4 years. Game on Cuse brethren, may bnoros (and all of ours) concerns be assuaged!

Not only that, but his return is also dominating “water cooler” conversations.

My entire family (mostly females) are digging out their GMAC jerseys and asking about getting tickets already.

It’s a thing…

OttoinGrotto has a question he'd like to ask.

What do you do?

What do you do?

health care private practice

What is this money for?

Is it just donors covering a portion of the revenue sharing so the school doesn't have to?

Yep pretty much the way for the public right now to contribute, so I would look at it as the more they can use the rev share funding pot funded on grassroots donors, the less they need to go to big private donors (though some are doing matching campaigns for today) and can focus on the outside NIL efforts on the big private donors/corporations, etc. This is until they restart a publicly accessible NIL collective option to donate again if that works legally, etc. All my observation, not fact, so please someone correct me if I'm wrong.
