How do your players afford brand new vehicles? Particularly Dodge Chargers with brand new, multi thousand dollar rims?

No bullshite, no beat around the bush answers, how does a college student, with no job, afford to drive vehicles that middle-class families can’t afford?

I guess you've never seen what other team's players drive.

Who can’t afford a used Charger for $12k?

One of linebackers was searching for a used mustang on Twitter a while back.... said it needed to be running...

I guess they shop around like the rest of us.

They afford them because they are affordable.

It wasn't his car.

We endow the "auto fund" by selling the dung from our game day elephants at an inflated price. It's eco-capitalism at its finest.

Okay, then who lets Guice repeatedly drive his car at odd hours of the night while Guice snapchats the whole thing?

And some wonder why Lousyana is the poorest state in the country.

Honestly, I think they are given a certain amount of money to live on... apartments and what not. A lot of them live together or with friends or girlfriends and save money that way. A 200 or 300 dollar car payment is pretty easy when your rent is cut in half.

How much do you think these cars cost? The majority are Dodge Chargers or Camaros, both of which can be purchased for less than $20K (nice used ones). That’s about $350 a month.

Their stipends for COA are roughly $2500 per semester. They are also given a certain amount for living expenses that they rarely use all of.

Doesn’t seem like it would be too difficult to afford, and parents not having to pay a dime for college.

Yep, I could buy some nice stuff on what I am paying in tuition.

If you have housing, food and tuition paid for for four years, it isn't hard to scrounge up 250-300 bucks per month for a car.

This would be like printing your own money. Gumps would camp out overnight for the opportunity to buy this bull-shite.
