where was lally's response to waters article

My understanding is the chancellor and certain members of the board of trustees. But, I only know one side to this whole thing. I am just hopeful that the lines of communication can be opened and a compromise can be found.

I respect you for being so consistent in your support of Adam. Anything that can help Cuse basketball get back to where it should be is good with me.

That's what matters to most of us. From talking with Adam, I believe he feels that way also. If things can get ironed out, he is in. But, there is work to be done, and dasher is putting in some work. But, I think there are people involved that won't budge.

This sounds like folks need to think first what is best for the university and the basketball (and other) sports programs, and iron it out. We don't have too many billionaires in the Syracuse vicinity that are willing and able to give the program some flash and celebrity.

So what happened between Adam and Lally?

My total guess is that AW wasn’t contributing the right way (quietly) so Lally ( and maybe others) threatened to pull support if the Chancellor didn’t boot AW.

That’s just it. The chancellor and the board don’t think basketball and other sports programs have anything to do with what’s best for the university. People really need to get their heads around that. The chancellor’s job is not to run a professional sports franchise.

I get where your priorities are, but they don’t align with the leadership of the university, who care more about academic reputation, enrollment, and tuition based revenue. I’m not saying they don’t care about the AD, but it doesn’t rank as high in the “what’s best” category for them as it does for many of us here.

Do you think Syracuse basketball or Syracuse athletics told the media how short they were in NIL? Do you really believe that? They kept this stuff close to the vest. They didn't want anyone, rivals, media, fans to know how bad it was. How inept they were. The information just wasn't out there.

It was definitely out there...

Maybe it was harder to get exact numbers for players, but it was no secret that we did not have the money to compete at the highest level.

I said it on here many times during the summer and nobody believed me for a while.

If I was able to get that information, Waters was certainly able to as well. It's not exactly a coincidence they are writing about this stuff now.
