Coach Fran has a letter for you. We’ve got the rough draft.
From the phone calls of sportswriters and some emails sent by concerned Aggies, I guess one of our<STRIKE>former</STRIKE> signees created a little stir yesterday with his comments in his hometown newspaper. You can relax. No rules are being broken.<STRIKE>as far as you know.</STRIKE>
Terrence McCoy, whose brother Jamie<STRIKE> was</STRIKE> is a redshirt freshman quarterback on our team, told a <STRIKE>dead man walking</STRIKE> sportswriter in Midland about how well we take care of our football players at A&M, and he mentioned money and meals. <STRIKE>Sometimes, people talk when they shouldn’t. And that’s how some people learn lessons in life. Those lessons come at a cost, which sometimes includes kneecaps.</STRIKE>
To explain in detail what a football scholarship provides for a student-athlete would take more time and space than either you or I have.<STRIKE> Frankly, I doubt you could grasp the numbers. The meal plan alone costs hundreds–hundreds!–of dollars.</STRIKE> But basically, they receive tuition, fees, books, room and meals. In addition, under certain specified conditions they are entitled to meal stipends – such as when the place they eat on their meal plan isn’t open, <STRIKE>usually a modestly priced restaurant tab plus unlimited alcohol, which comes to around $200 a meal</STRIKE> - or sometimes meal per diems when we’re traveling <STRIKE>in our gold leaf painted, hot-tub equipped Aggie Land Cruiser with the twenty-sixes spinning. It ought to be a crime to be this hood! That kind of rhyme dropping keeps the street cred flowing like water, wodi.</STRIKE>
[/url]
All anyone needs to know is that our director of football operations, Charley North, works very closely with both compliance<STRIKE>, also known as Luther the Switch and Ramon “El Matador” Martinez, </STRIKE>and our business office on managing exactly what a player is to receive. It is monitored and audited to the dime.<STRIKE>, which is one tenth of a dollar, which is where I think the math will get tricky for you. It’s okay, math’s hard! Let Coach Fran count it for you.</STRIKE> There are all kinds of checks and balances and procedures to make sure there is no <STRIKE>detectable</STRIKE> abuse of the system.
Terrence made an <STRIKE>foolish, fatal</STRIKE> innocent remark <STRIKE>he will pay for in the sweet blood of his unwitting kin</STRIKE> , yet he is right…we not only take very good care of our football players, we take pride in doing so. We make sure they receive everything that NCAA rules allow.<STRIKE> We also give them gold ingots covered in chocolate every day following a big game. Just kidding! There’s no chocolate involved whatsoever, Myles Brand. That would be against the rules, which I know more about than any human being alive. </STRIKE>There are even rules these days that prevent us from <STRIKE>killing them for their impudence, which is why Reggie McNeil still draws breath after rolling his eyes at my brilliant playcalling</STRIKE> shorting them. In the old days, there was a popular phrase – <STRIKE>“Pulling a Fulmer”</STRIKE> “break their plate” – when coaches could take away a player’s meal as a consequence for disciplinary action <STRIKE>and eat it themselves.</STRIKE> ; that practice went away quite a while back. <STRIKE>We just make them mule stanazolol across state lines in their own cars. No rule against that, Myles Brand! </STRIKE>
Rest assured that everybody who works <STRIKE>on the books</STRIKE> for our program is a person of unquestionable ethics and integrity. And we all know the Aggie Code of Honor – no cheating, and no tolerance for those who do.<STRIKE> Janet, would you check my email again? That Georgia Tech gig would be sweet, and they’ll be impressed by my penchant for irrational two-point conversion attempts and swinging gate punt formations. Wows ‘em every time! And get the oil in the Escalade changed–keeping it constantly running all day and night has put a hell of strain on the engine.</STRIKE>
