nah2 is completely irrelevant though.

With Bethea a top recruit for ‘24 and Philly a prime time spot, Ashley Howard isn’t a bad name.I love hearing names like Blackwell and Devo as ass't coaches. Neither of those guys have ever recruited at the D-1 level. The guy Red hires will have D-1 coaching experience and even more importantly, D-1 recruiting experience. We need a stud recruiter in a prime recruiting area. Neither Ryan or Devo fit that bill. True Orangemen sure. But it is that kind of thinking that helped get us in this situation. Red isn't going to make that mistake.
This all sounds like a fair and plausible read of the situation.Following the big breadcrumbs...SU changed its NIL policy a little over a month ago in response to new NCAA by laws regarding NIL that went into effect in January.
Per Carlson's article on 2/10, the head of NCAA enforcement said the [new] rule "eliminates the NCAA’s need to have a smoking gun — such as an outright confession or a text message proving a violation."
“The (new rules) allow us to take a common-sense view of a fact pattern and circumstantial evidence and take it to the school and say, ‘The burden is on you, institution, the burden is on you, Coach, to show it’s not (a violation)." If charged, the university is assumed to be guilty.
I think that it was Bayside44 who said that AW was "flying too close to the sun." It looks like SU no longer wants to draw that type of attention, even though AW was trying to do whatever he could to stay within guidelines. The NCAA moved the goalposts.
Honest. Telluride, Q3, and a Jetta.You’re just being modest.
That’s what my wife tells me when the boy is home from college.Run silent. Run deep.
Very well may give to LIU as an institution, but he admittedly wasn't a sports fan and knew next to nothing about basketball when he became friends with Boeheim through mutual philanthropic pursuits. Probably not a lot of enduring memories of LIU Athletics, particularly since he was not enrolled at the main campus in Brooklyn.Yeah, I'd say it's a fair question. Historically boosters give to their alma mater. I don't doubt at all he's good friends with Boeheim, but historically athletic boosting is a passion project for wealthy alum looking to give back to the institution they love and felt aided them on their voyage of success.
When someone breaks from that model, yeah, I ask questions. Maybe he is a huge Syracuse fan, I don't know. I do know he has used Syracuse games as a vehicle for self-promotion. I'm sure he has his reasons. But those reasons don't necessarily align with the school's interest.
Looks like the additional two cannot be added until the 2023-24 Academic year. And has yet to be approved by the NCAA Board of Directors. Expect that discussions have already taken place if, indeed, Autry intends to fill the positions but likely nothing will be announced until summer.Except we can add two non recruiting coaches this year. Think that was the thought with these guys.
What's interesting is the LIU Brooklyn & Post campuses merged for athletic purposes a few years back.Very well may give to LIU as an institution, but he admittedly wasn't a sports fan and knew next to nothing about basketball when he became friends with Boeheim through mutual philanthropic pursuits.

That is in the other half of the story, the one that probably isnt so rosy for AWKinda weird. Everything I’ve read on this board from some very good, reliable posters, say that AW was/is doing everything by the book. Everything. So what is the BFD all of a sudden?
When it's time for him to fly the coop, disregard at least the first part. Nudge him right outta the nest.That’s what my wife tells me when the boy is home from college.

And keep in mind " the book " is just in pencil draft mode.All due respect to some of those reliable sources, but res ipsa loquitur, IMO.
That will show them, lolResponded to an email from Cuse asking for money to get Weitsman back in the fold or to take me off the alumni or whatever pandhandle list I am on
Weitzman was paying one of them...What is the FMV of a SU women's BB player?
SyraCRUZ Tailgate paid two!Weitzman was paying one of them...

I loved what he did with the make a wish kids. I'm glad he documented it. I don't care what his intentions were. He made a difference in those kids lives.What, you don’t bring your own personal photographer to document all of the good deeds you do and all of the celebrities you hang out with?
I laughed my butt off when people brought up Blackwell and Devo. Love those guys but come on. I can’t believe anyone was buying those rumors. As a number of us have been saying, including you, Red would target an experienced assistant with deep northeast/mid Atlantic recruiting ties. He’s making all the right moves out of the gate.I love hearing names like Blackwell and Devo as ass't coaches. Neither of those guys have ever recruited at the D-1 level.

When it comes to all coaching conversations, message boarders have an obsession with only talking about people they know. I’m guessing 95% of the people advocating for Devo and Blackwell have no clue who the DC guy is.I laughed my butt off when people brought up Blackwell and Devo. Love those guys but come on.

I could be entirely wrong but believe flying a recruit up for a game with a celeb was the really questionable thing for a NCAA violation because it can not be blown off as part of NIL and is pretty much a classic booster additional benefit.Kinda weird.

I doubt anyone has a problem with someone highlighting work with a children's charity. Anything to raise awareness and generate donations is a great thing.I loved what he did with the make a wish kids. I'm glad he documented it. I don't care what his intentions were.
