“We will just get rid of the Classics and Geology departments.”

I thought the school providing the player with their own meat locker was a bit over the top!!!

Foreign guy here. What’s a “gulf-stream”? I assume he doesn’t mean the aquatic phenomenon.

The sad thing is that the degrees that some “real” students receive aren’t much more useful than what these guys get. At least these guys get a free ride and don’t owe tens of thousands of dollars

It is worse now with players able to transfer and can make a lot of money ($200k+) on the side selling their image/endorsements such as doing ads for a car dealerships.

Oh yeah, BD. Way “to hold the line” and not let things get “out of control”. Hahaha!

This story arc could be happening today as NIL is now legal for HS students in some states.

Of course, they will give him a Gulf Stream trailer not a jet.

Promise them whatever they want. I’m sure the alumni will be happy to pitch in. Besides, I’m pretty sure you can get a matchbox gulf stream for about 10 bucks at Kmart.

G5!

If it’s not in writing, it doesn’t exist. Of course, if this agent is worth anything, he should make certain all the details are in the letter of intent.

If I didn’t know better, I might think colleges are just more big businesses.

Maybe Walden has a lot of rich guys in the alumni association.

I don’t remember this arc, but I can’t help but feel that when the school sees the bill for everything he’s agreeing to, his tenure as head coach will come to a screeching end!

These days it’s not astounding.

NIL has moved the corruption above the table.
