Weitsman

[Bayside44]

I dont either but hes certainly associated with the school.

As is Craig Carlton and Jon Jones via Chandler and Arthur.

Heck, I probably fall under the category of “unsavory” myself

...because he went to Syracuse 25 years ago?

 

[Bill Orange]

If they are taking his seats and box it sounds like more then a few things to work out.

Whoever tries to get those 4 floor seats should first have to take a 20 question quiz (see the football quiz in "Diner") on the history of Syracuse Basketball and score at least 90% to be considered.

 

[Sbucketball]

Whoever chased away Weitsman should be forced onto their knees to beg him to return. Unbelievable. Just when the program has positive momentum.

Jon Jones via Chandler. Lol what?

Theyre brothers

Yes

 

[GoSU96]

Theyre brothers

So?

 

[OrangeDW]

Theyre brothers

Has Jon ever been to SU? I don’t recall him ever visibly supporting the school or program? I doubt anyone connects him to SU because his brothers played here, other than some diehard Cuse fans.

Exactly - and neither have any of the unsavories AW is friends with. It’s a nonissue

I….see reaches and stretches all over the place here. It’s not really a good comparison, lol.

What happened to this thread?

 

[Trueblue25]

Has there been issues with who Weitsman allows into his box, and by default the dome?

All I can say is.. I hope SU at least found another shark to replace Adam before they canned him. But I’ve seen SU screw up easier things…

this is college sports and basically the Wild West. No one is playing clean. For whatever reason this university thinks it’s Harvard but has been named best college party school year after year. Embrace it and take the guys money. It’s not like he’s marvin harrison.

So depressing

 

[Nicknack]

Yeah, I don't know about all of this. I would be kidding if I didn't say that with the emergence of Adam, I was excited. It felt like finally we would now be able to compete against programs that seemed to always have the upper hand. On the other hand, I didn't like how he became as big of a story as anything else program related.

With all of this NIL crap, every big time program has their "dudes". It's just a matter of how much of the spotlight they take care to have. Here is Miami's dude (Ruiz). He appears to like the spotlight.

Hopefully SU administration knows what they're doing and has enough other donors who can support what we need to compete in this new NIL era. If we don't, that will be very frustrating especially with Red taking over. He needs proper support to land some of these recruits!

That all said, one thing I've wondered about with Adam and SU, how can adminstration distance themselves from him? Meaning, NIL isn't tied to the university (at least not supposed to), so can't Adam just give SU administration the middle finger and keep doing what he's doing?

Still waiting on the whole story, highly doubt the university cut him off because of a couple Instagram posts and some parking spots.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

is this official now?

 

[Cuse12]

I haven’t dove into this subject much, but if this isn’t the most Syracuse athletics things of all time. Classic. Get excited to be let down. I should’ve known this relationship could never actually be a long term successful way of taking advantage of the new NIL landscape. I should’ve known

 

[pwong]

There is no way the NCAA is going to penalize anyone over NIL.
They will get sued by a state or player, and they will capitulate immediately.

Only way they will penalize anyone is if the school accepts the punishments. Miami accepted the punishments for the WBB program and Ruiz wanted to sue but he couldn’t bc of the acceptance.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Hmm

Yeah its stuff like this where he enters a grey area imo.

I can see reasons why the relationship between him and su may have hit touchy waters. But nobody knows the full story, and those who do shouldn’t/won’t put it on the forum.

We just need someone to compare Arby’s and Wendy’s to really turn this into a classic.

It would be absolutely incredible if he bought Binghamton a team. And I completely mean that.

any connection to this?

Adam Weitsman buying Davis College property for $3.7 million

Weistman said he plans to close on the property in the next 90 days, if not sooner.
