Sounds like apple needs to pay tuition for all walk-ons, and we can take as many as possible.

I think you guys need to give up on the whole Apple hooking us up thing. It’s not happening and if it did Cook would likely be replaced immediately

That is what BYU just did. ESPN Link

quote:

The BYU athletic department helped broker opportunities for every walk-on member of the football team to sign endorsement deals with a sponsor that would cover the cost of their tuition for at least one year.

The arrangement -- which is possible due to recent NCAA rule changes that allow college athletes to make money from their names, images and likenesses (NIL) -- was announced during a team meeting this week. All 123 members of the Cougars football program were offered an endorsement deal with protein bar company Built Brands


quote:

Scholarship players can receive $1,000 each for representing the company. The 36 walk-on players on the roster were offered what amounts to privately funded scholarships, although the players will be paid directly and can spend that money in any way they choose, according to associate athletic director Gary Veron.
