“It really came down to where I really wanted to be,” he said. “Where I could provide for my family early and, you know, just make everything happen within a snap."…..It wasn't Mom or Dad or my HS Coach, or hard thinkin or nights spent in prayer, or who could provide the best development and as sure as rain is wet, GOD had nothing to do with it……any of these and Justice would be a Dawg tonight……it was ALL BISNESS, who could give me the most the quickest and The Long Horn pockets are deep and green…..still scratching my head about the math involved in who has sent the most DL's to the NFL…..math skill like that, Ole Justice won't be in Bisness long!
I’ll say this first that these young boys, not men, can make their own decisions. However , I don’t believe hardly anything he said. It all came down to money and that’s so unfortunate for the state of college football and the fans that are funding the bill. It’s also very sad that his family didn’t know his decision but a reporter from Texas did? Come on. This is getting ridiculous and way out of hand. I know a lot of you will disagree with me and that’s fine. College football will implode one day. Money won’t be able to fix it.
Yeah, “business” = “$$$ now.”
From the Business Week (with The Big Take) series called "Turf Wars," they note NIL stands for "Now It's Legal." Highlighting one of the more famous/outrageous dirty money incidents: "In the 1940s, Hugh McElhenny, a halfback for the University of Washington, took a pay cut to play pro football. 'Wealthy guy puts big bucks under my pillow every time I score a touchdown,' he explained. 'Hell, I can’t afford to graduate.'"
NIL and the transfer portal are just the final nails in college footballs coffin. We loved it because it was kids playing ball. Now it's business. Can't blame the kids for taking the money, most of us would do the same. Big money killed it.
