Also another example that shows ADJW and Dino know what they’re doing

Superb article. Loved it. Reinforces my man crushes on Dino and JW.

Funny - I read here that ADJW had no idea what he was doing and was in over his head.

Kudos to all involved!

The whole Gruden thing is weird, though. I know he probably has a ton of money, but what is his interest in Syracuse? Just a ADJW buddy thing?

Yeah the article makes it seem Gruden is close with ADJW so he wanted to help him out in a small way

Agreed> Gruden writing a $10,000 check is the equivalent of most of us writing a $100 check

One takeaway is that the $25M can only be unlocked by reaching certain fundraising goals. Might be why they haven’t announced specific plans for the money yet. All I know is Dino needs something snazzy to sell recruits and the longer this drags on...
