Vinny Lobdell Donor Group

[Jasoncuse]

Gerry should give 44 to one of the walk-ons just to light DC's fuse.

Yeah, give it Lobdell’s son and really drive it home.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Oh I’m sure some will argue that. Maybe it’s true with some donors. I don’t know. I do know Red had to be dragged out to meet with donors, didn’t prioritize it and didn’t play the game. And then when you’re losing, it’s even harder.

Fran doesn’t have this problem so I really don’t think it’s a race issue for the most part.

I don’t think it’s race, but race peddlers can spin it that way

 

[Mr. M]

The key will be sustaining that level. Would love to see a bunch of out big boosters get a pot together ($100M+) that isn’t touched, but the earning go to NIL each year. Maybe a 5 year commitment to leave the money in. (Not my money, so easy for me)

This!!! This needs to happen and should bring in a wider net of wealthy donors who currently are afraid to give with no ROI.. Pooling money together into a fund where the earnings portion goes to NIL, but the base investment is still the donor’s

Makes me wonder what happened with Autry? It’s crazy the amount of money coming out of the woodworks since GMAC was hired.

Most people don’t want to piss their money down the drain.

 

[Scooch]

Unbelievable. I was always under the impression that he really tried but still couldn’t muster up enough NIL until last season.

Sounds like he didn’t try that hard to begin with. Ridiculous. This Gmac hire is beginning to make more and more sense by the hour.

It was stated here over and over that Red didn’t do fundraising until year 2. That’s why our offseason before 2024-25 was so abysmal. He had no money because he didn’t raise any.

It was a fireable offense to be that unmotivated and unprepared, IMHO.

Do these two have CTE?

DC seemed to hate Red because he let Lampkin wear 44.

And Etan is just all over the place. I think he's a legit crazy person.

Here’s what I’m thinking for portal additions. Now that we have Scrooge McDuck NIL this year.

PG: Steph Curry
SG: Anthony Edwards
SF: Kawhi Leonard
PF: Vinny Lobdell
C: Wembanyama

I wasn’t aware about him neglecting it in the first year. Makes sense to why we were left with jaquon Carlos and Lucas Taylor.

Steph Curry? Idk man. I’d rather have George

Here’s a wild thought… maybe Red should’ve asked people for money. By all accounts he didn’t really do that. Not that DC or Etan would have donated anyway

 

[UnknownOrange]

The Autry vs Gmac donations are simple

What in Red’s off seasons really sparked you to want to open your checkbook?

Honestly some of the money coming Gerry’s way is probably due to where the program currently is. Gerry can rejuvenate and motivate donors to never want to be sitting in this position again

If Gerry has years like red did, those checkbooks slam shut

 

[OrlandoCuse]

I donated year 1 of Red. Did not his last two years.

I donated to GMac this week.

Hope matters

They need to stop. Word was Reds nil last year was top 1/3 in the acc. Unfortunately he couldn’t coach.

And, people have mentioned that Red didn't even use it all.

 

[BEGood]

He didn’t???

 

[orangefog]

He didn’t???

I don't remember who said it, but it's been mentioned a few times. Anyone in the know, please correct me if I am wrong.

I don't know if he asked them, but he asked me. So I would hope he asked them. It just wasn't his strong suit and that's one of the reasons that he's gone.

That said, did anyone not know that Lobdell was already giving money? How can two alums like that not have known? It's unfortunate that they're so divisive.

Truly insane thing to do. Wildhack should've fired him after that.

It was insane and this roster should have been easily good enough to make the tourney this year. They all agreed upon that as a staff, but they also felt they could save the money til next year when the staff would all be back next year because they thought they were going to win with this roster. What a year

how long can we get 10+ million a yr though?

As long as we win I’m thinking.

 

[Sherman20]

This could be huge for Gmac and Cuse basketball!

Syracuse booster Vinny Lobdell says he’s rallying a group to commit millions for Gerry McNamara’s program

Isn’t this part of the NIL donor money that’s been promised that Dasher and others have been talking about?

I loved these two as players, but they’ve become clueless internet trolls at this point.

That said, I know DC has helped FLJ fundraise on the women’s side, and it’s much appreciated.

DC made $90 million in NBA salaries. Etan made $45 million. Reading either of them b!tching about money is nauseating.

 

[4evaOrange]

I’m expecting top 3 point guard and a top 2 center and maybe a legit a sniper.

 

[FireballPhil]

Seriously I’m so sick of Etan Thomas. SHUT UP. You don’t do anything. Vinny is such a good dude. He has given this program so much money and does so much stuff behind the scenes that no one even knows about. He’s giving millions and millions. And like I said “someone who sits close to melo”, well here ya go. It’s him. Glad this is out because he’s helping more than anyone

I put him on mute a few years ago.
