Rumor

[SUFaninNJ]

Is this the thread where we announce that we’ve contributed towards NIL? Rumor has it that I may have contributed as well. The voices in my head are working out the details. I’ll post their decision on my Instagram later along with a picture of me and Erik Estrada.

I never would have guessed that I'd be pining for a Kadary Richmond thread in August 0f 2025.

I am team Lally - but would still love for Weitsman to bring in say $500k for NIL, buy a box and host some celebs to watch Kiyan. Post on his instagram and play by the Cuse rules. Why wouldnt we want that? If this is true and he sat down with Wildhack, Autry, Chancellor, Fran, Lally - this is potentially great news.

Maybe ADJW. Very unlikely with the Chancellor.

I have donated into our NIL funds numerous times!

 

[Brooky03]

I thought about donating to the NIL fund.

And it’s the thought that counts.

Ditto and still do

While Weitsman rubs some people the wrong way (like me), I don't think anyone is really against what you said. Hopefully he has decided to play by Cuse rules, as you said. If not, he should keep walking.

LOL. “Reached an agreement”. Hysterical.

Seriously.

Put up, or shut up.

And I qualify that by acknowledging that it is HIS money, and he's free to do whatever he wants with it. But the "Lucy with the football" analogy that Jake used seems increasingly applicable.

I think in this day or media hype and sensationalism we want Gronk, Brady, Melo, Larry David, etc. court side for branding, helping revenue, getting the best players. I get the politics but the SU admin would be silly to not find a way to capitalize on this. Jimmy B, Melo, McNabb are close to AW, take advantage of this. They need to mend fences with DC also he can help the program. And in a perfect world have a exit to the BIG!

I am Team Syracuse, and I don't really care how the cake is made. Just make it, and let's flipping eat it.

Don't understand the agita in this thread. Most of this Board has been saying for years that AW should just contribute to a collective or otherwise find a way suitable to SU to donate his money. If that's the type of thing he's going to do, then that's a great win for the program and we should all be thrilled to hear it.

I think the “agita” is we’ll believe it when we see it

I see no reason that he should have to sit down with Lally

im not gonna argue or get into a pissing match, and im def team lally. but it would be a nice gesture imo to do so.

and no matter what, all of our donors should get along to at least a tolerable extent. it seem Lally, burton, alexander, feldmeier group, hayner hoyt and plenty of others all do

I agree 100%. Not sure why some here are excessively against the dude. He's not my cup of tea either but who cares. If he agrees to support the team I love, then I'm all for it.

I have no interest in getting into an argument over these two groups. I don't care. All I am saying is that AW doesn't need to make nice with the Lally's or vice versa. They can all hate each other for all I care. I just want Syracuse sports to do well.

Adam Weitsman has reached an agreement to contribute towards NIL.

Methinks Carmelo and LaLa had some words with him.

It’s a positive development either way. I think it also shows that he thinks we have a winning team this year or at least one worth watching and there’s money worth spending on the current regime.

I do give AW credit for being a businessman. Ain’t no billionaires I know dropping money into a sinking ship and if any of this “rumor” is legit it prob means he thinks there’s going to be a good product on the court this year and next year.

It’s a hell of a lot easier to not spend money on a team when you’re watching them sneak by Lemoyne with a 5’10 point guard from Hofstra.

Perfectly said and precisely how i feel.

Is it sad that this feels like the most exciting thing to happen to SU hoops in the last 3 years?

More than JB stepping down and being replaced by our first new head coach in 45 years?

I just donated to the human fund in honor of this thread

I'll say this... say what you want about what he actually donated in the past and "put up or shut up"... fine with that.

That said, he "put-up" for Gmac and ensured that Siena held on to Doty this season (their best player).

If he can and wants to do that for Cuse, step right up.
