The same way that every player who has a nice car at every major school in the country does:

Local banks and auto dealers will gladly lend against future earnings for high profile football players. The loan will balloon to an absurd rate upon his exit from school. Often the loan will have back interest built in, so the player winds up paying all of the interest anyway.

This literally happens everywhere. It is a violation, but the NCAA has never shown any inclination to curb it.

He probably just sold some textbooks :)

Nothing against this particular player, I just wonder why the AA looks deeply into trivial things and ignores others. Their house/their rules, I guess.

What are they going to do? Shut every major program down? They created this issue by not adjusting with the times. The genie isn't going back in the bottle.

I'm so ready for the AA to disappear. As any form of governing body, they are totally useless. All they're doing the past 20 years is sitting around cashing checks. If they go away tomorrow, no one will miss them.

They will lend a 30k car with no credit? Right....no way they will do this without some kind of collateral or big time co signer.

Nice try, "future earnings" lawl

I'd love to see some proof for this load of BS. You're so FOS. Not only does this not "literally happens everywhere", no bank is handing out money to college football players in hopes of future earnings. Only agents take that gamble, and only the brand new agents roll those dice.

Crimson Turd are cheaters, have always cheated, will always cheat. It's in your inbred genes.

Then explain the nice cars sitting outside the training facility in Knoxville. I guess UT only recruits players from well-to-do families, huh?

I genuinely don't care if you want to stick your head in the sand about it. I prefer to be honest with myself.

I'm sure you have some pictures of those said cars, right? I'm sure AJ, Tiny, Hurd, CP have all documented some pics of their new rides, right?

Funny how it happens everywhere but Bama guys seem to be the ones with all the pics floating around the internet. Coincidence, right?

Pics of said cars? Or did your dumb arse forget that Dooley's recruiting was so piss poor that agents weren't lining up with fancy cars to give away, or loan officers handing out checks on "future earnings" to our seniors?

Bamatards are such mental midgets its absurd. At least when we were handing 50 Ben Franklins to Travis Henry we bragged about it and dared you stop it. Your retort is, "oh yeah...everybody is doing it! So there! Take that!"

:crazy:

Local banks in Alabama maybe! I have been a Financial Services Rep for First Tenn Bank since 2006 and that is a bunch of crap!!!! Lending 30K against future earnings on an unemployed person is not an accepted practice everywhere - in fact it is bad business. As far as a football player is concerned there are too many variables such as career ending injuries like what happened to Tyrone Prothro vs Florida in 2005 or potential legal problems that can derail a career. What we have here is simply a lender that is a "friend of the program". Spin this junk anyway you like it but it's wrong and it doesn't happen everywhere....... By the way, did Henry do something wrong? Trent Richardson drove a Lincoln Navigator. Looks like Henry got short changed.

It's nice that you want to pretend that your employer, a wholly owned subsidiary of the First Horizon National Corp, is a "local bank". Do you guys use that for marketing purposes?

Come on BW, certainly you dont believe this to be the case for an underclassman. I could buy it for a player who is close to going into the NFL, but even then, its a stretch.

Lets not forget, he would be made to get full coverage on the car and with his age, cost of car, type of car and color. The insurance would be as high as the payment almost.

You'd be amazed at the massive amounts of debt some of these players leave college with despite not having to spend a dime on school, room or board. We don't hear about it, because these guys don't matter if they don't make the league.

Seems pretty delusional you would call everyone else delusional and you are the only one who is right.

Everyone said the world was flat, and burned those who said it was round. The world was still round the whole time.
