Weitsman is no different than some of these big boosters for schools like Alabama or Texas. Lots of money to throw around and not shy in letting people know they are the ones throwing it around. The biggest difference is that Weitsman is from a different generation. One that not everyone can identify with. If hw was down south, people would probably love him and want to make him king.No one is going to convince you metal man was not good for SU sports in more ways than one as long as you remain convinced that his story is the only truthful one.
I don't trust billionaires as far as I could throw one. I don't trust social media influencers or prima donnas either. So that's two strikes. And while I have concerns about the SU BOT and Chancellor and AD, I do trust them when it comes to SU's reputation and not taking on undue risk by partnering with a local billionaire who desperately wants to be the center of attention.
But, I do look at his friendship with JAB. As far as we know JAB has really only had two people in his adult life that took him out of his comfort zone, Julie and Weitsman. JAB saw something that he liked in Adam that a lot of other people didn't. I always figured that if JAB wanted to be best buds with him then he can't be so bad.
