Duck 1972 No. 4 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Will this type of stuff affect their play on the field? Or be detrimental to team chemistry? Or are they so talented it won't make a difference. Trying to remember SMU. Did the buying of the star running backs help or hurt the team? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a little different back then. Sure they knew they were getting $$$, but each ones total was on the down low. Now it's all in the open and astronomically high. Really in your face.

Kurt Rambis No. 6 Share Posted June 9, 2022 I always wanted a Bentley Continental GT. In the States, I enjoyed driving a Benz and then a Lexus, and was hoping someday to work my way up. Man, I can't imagine driving any of those where I live now, with lots of two-way traffic on what should be one-way streets. Some of the streets here were actually built originally by the Romans, and they didn't have to worry much about vehicle width in those days. Now instead of aiming at a Bentley, I drive an old Citroen C1, powered by an asthmatic squirrel with a limp. It has all the power of Emmitt Smith in his last desperate run with the Cardinals, but it's tiny and fits everywhere. I see people trying to navigate Bentleys and big Range Rovers here and I just laugh at them. The ironic thing is that this is actually what NIL was supposed to be - Stroud making promotional appearances at the dealership and getting something in return. Not recruits basically being given bags of cash to sign their NLI. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathis No. 7 Share Posted June 9, 2022 In all honesty, I think this is exactly the way it was intended to work. They lease him a car and in return he promotes that dealership on social media and makes appearances at the dealership. I mean, I have ZERO issues with this and maybe some of our boys will make friendly with high-end dealerships in the area... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tandaian No. 9 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Not that Stroud is hurting for cash, but are they also paying his insurance? For a young single guy, the insurance is the highest it will ever be. I imagine $500 a month? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck Moderator No. 11 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Talking about insurance, I remember a buddies wife's insurance was more than hiring a chauffeur, back in the day. The last straw was parking the Rover on the edge of a cliff without the parking brake, in neutral. It almost stopped after hitting a couple cars, but not so lucky. Not to say a male can't have the same scenario, especially a college kid with a Bentley. As far as poverty cars, anyone fill up an American car lately!

I had 3 dates this past weekend that required me to fill up my Jeep 3 separate times...either I'm going to have to start dating closer or start picking them up on a bicycle! I spent more on gas than dinner and movie tickets. (as an aside, I've waited 35 years for the Top Gun sequel and Maverick DID NOT disappoint. 100% watch it in the IMAX!)

How that one didn't make it into our recent discussion on the world's most beautiful cars, I don't know. There's a Bentley dealer here in town (not bad for a place with 170,000 people) - maybe I'll drive the little C1 over there and see what they'll give me for a trade-in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deschutesduck No. 15 Share Posted June 9, 2022 He came to his senses and decided to get something more practical Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud gets $200K Mercedes G Wagon in NIL deal NYPOST.COM C.J. Stroud will be styling and profiling around the Ohio State campus. A bit humorous to think you need cash NIL deals to pay for the impending tax bill from other NIL deals.
