I wonder how many of those who are involved in sports media/announcing would be reluctant to contribute with the thought of wanting to be objective for their profession though? I can only imagine the uproar if we were playing Duke and found out the announcer was a Duke grad who had contributed a million to their collective? Just a thought.
Then what is Boeheim doing on the basketball side?
How would we know they already haven’t? Vitale, Bilas etc could all be supporters of a program and how would we know? None of our names are publicized when we give to Orange United etc. It’s not tax deductible so there’s no reason to quantify nor track publicly someone’s gifts unless they themselves volunteer it. Same as those go fund me donations, giving one’s name vs being anonymous is optional. I could be wrong but that’s what I’ve seen.
I don't disagree and I could be completely off base with my thinking. Maybe they just donate to Newhouse? It does seem when you have announcers who have made millions like Tirico and Costas etc, there might be potential there.
Not exactly what I was referring to…will just leave it at that….
If it’s not donor or in-house $ then I’m not sure what you’re referring to, but it seems you don’t want to elaborate which I’ll respect. Apologies for incorrectly interpreting your words.
Football is the straw that series the drink... You can take a championship level basketball program and immediately be stuck in a non entity conference like UConn and Villanova, or you can put big bucks to the football program to stay afloat and keep the big conference gravy train flowing.
Nothing nefarious, more so that Fran knows more power brokers in the agent scene
Talent is not equal therefore compensation is not equal. I don’t hire people to flip burgers. These are very competitive mid 6 figure roles. Equality is an idealistic illusion.
Oh the Blue Blood way.
I wonder why JB isn’t helping to lead the charge for basketball NIL fundraising. He knows everyone and has lots of pull .
Fundraising = NIL.
Pretty sure the AD has fundraisers at his disposal and was doing just fine with the Lally facility before JB came to this position. Are we building a new building for MBB? To my understanding, there are not as many very large needs from a basketball facility perspective. The biggest need is NIL. Period. And if the AD isn’t focused on this area then I question their vision to the future.
LOL. Not remotely an issue.
He never said the other talent wasn’t good, just that this higher paid person was worth it. The other talent could be just as good as he’s just cheaping out on appropriately compensating their workers, which will inevitably lead attrition.
im sure you’re job is very special and you’re a great judge of talent. Considering you hired a guy for 100k more though, talent level was a guess at best. You do you though, I’m not arguing the guy isn’t worth it I’m arguing you’ll lose workers over this because of your lack of understanding how hierarchy works.
