Rumor

[bnoro]

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.

The agita is it had to be announced. He couldn't just donate and keep his trap shut.

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.

We don't need anyone paying celebs to sit next to themselves at the dome.

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.

Amen.

 

[OHIORANGES]

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

I agree.
Standing up would be ok

Has it been announced? And, if it happens, what size contribution would merit some type of announcement?

Does size matter?

If the rumor is true, the announcement should be made by the collective he donates to, not AW.

Just to make sure I didn't miss anything, is there a new holiday called "August Fool's Day?" Maybe just for SU sports fans who have had their fair share of heartbreak, rug-pulling, reneged promises, false messianic athletes, NCAA shenanigans, etc?
Seriously though, this would be welcome news. We shall see

This person is VERY connected with the NIL at SU to the point of having started his own collective at one point. (Unsure of the status of that at this time.)

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

I thought Melo’s kid committing was kinda cool, but that’s just me.

Not saying it's not happening, but there is nothing on SM about it yet...

If it is happening, there will likely be a lot of SM posts about it when it's announced officially, based on how AW operates.

Think the check needs to clear first. Big if.

That’s an IOU. It’s better than cash.

Adam Weitsman has reached an agreement to contribute towards NIL.

Hey. I contribute $44 every now and then to NIL. Can I make an announcement also?

 

[llandz]

I'm neither team Lally or Team Adam W. I AM TEAM ORANGE...period. I want what is best for SU without taking sides.

I think you just did!

Absolutely. I have 75 followers on Instagram and I have never posted anything on there. If I can possibly be a content creator/influencer to my 75 followers, you can also.

 

[llandz]

I don't think that the collectives announce any NIL donations, even very large ones. This is not a naming right or something. The player doesn't change his name for your donation. There are no buildings etc. NIL seems to be private, and I like that it is.

Here's a suggested SM post... add in a nice human interest angle about you/quote (even if embellished a bit) . People love the human interest stuff...

"Today, rabid Cuse fan, llandz , has committed $44 to Syracuse Men's Basketball NIL via the Orange United collective. When asked about the donation, Ilandz had this to say 'Well, I'm officially in the doghouse for this. The $44 was earmarked by my wife for a new hairdo and she was none too pleased to hear it went to the Cuse men's basketball program. I will make it up to her. The things you do for the love of Syracuse Basketball.' "​
