B.D.: I've given my whole life to Walden, ray. Now I'm going to be left with nothing? Ray: Who knows, man? Maybe you'll get some golden 'chute out of it, y'know. A buyout, maybe even a piece of the new college. B.D.: Ever notice how a day can suddenly turn around? Ray: Don't be forgetting your friends, bro.

Ray is the brain power behind the BD throne. There is great hope for Ray that, because of his intelligence, he will overcome his PTSD or at least learn how to deal with it.

Bane Capital is behind the privatization turn to For-Profit. Golden parachutes are for Bane executives only. That profit will then be invested, and the tax rate of the recipient will be below 13% forever more…. And only he and his family lived happily ever after…….

I was interviewed once for a job at a for-profit prep school. The interviewer started out, “I like your pedigree. . . .” That was about the size of it.

No he didn’t build it, but the work he put in added to the value of the school. He has the expectation that he will be treated fairly and his and his family’s life will not be turned upside down by the powers that be.

You all know that University of Phoenix Stadium is far more ostetatious than any on campus stadium. If only the team that plays there can find someone to throw Larry Johnson the ball!
