Very, very few of these kids are "worth" anything more than a scholarship. What the market will bear is a different story, but that's because power broker boosters are willing to pay (too much) to make their school better than others, for the purpose of boosting their own egos. Now, maybe it's (almost) always been that way; difference is we're just doing it out in the open in front of God and everybody and with more $$$.

Still, I question the wisdom of making 18 to 22 year old children multi-millionaires because they can run faster, hit harder, or throw/catch a ball better than their peers.

As to individual players' value, are you watching/have you been Jackson Arnold, Jarquez Hunter, Cam Newton, Tank Bigsby, etc., OR, have you been watching Auburn football?

All of this said, if you want to win, you need the best players, and they are going to cost money in this brave new world. Maybe they cost money in the old world too, but the price has gone way up.

Sounds like a great deal if you don't mind waking up with a kitchen knife in your throat the next morning.

Sad to think that there's probably some clueless guy out there who's going to end up marrying this idiot/nut job.

Great strategy considering Trump installed Louis DeJoy to dismantle USPS.

Step 1: appoint a clown to run a department/agency into the ground.

Step 2: once it is completely incompetent, blame them and dissolve the agency into the administration.

Step 3: Rinse, and repeat.

USPS' incompetence predates Donald Trump by a very wide margin.

Y'all ever read the novel? It's a very different take.

Edit: all downvotes for explaining how a vaccine helped heal both myself and my CHILD. Y’all are some miserable fricking dumbasses here. Get out of your political bubbles for a bit and recognize that most vaccines are very safe. They’re not all the covid vax you damn tards. I just got the tetanus shot on Sunday after slicing my finger wide open. Guess I’m gonna die!!!!

Funny how so many here support the freedom to avoid vaccines but will seemingly be the first to downvote those who CHOOSE to get vaccinated.

This is tragic. And sad. You have one life. And you and your daughter will both regret this. I would try to fix this.

Agree. Tell her that you love her regardless of her political views. If she wants to live her life without you and your help, that's her choice, but leave the door open for the prodigal daughter.

If she wants a relationship, you're going to expect respect. Make it clear that she's walking away, and you're not pushing.

It's not just ladies. Here's an oldie but a goodie.

It’s a good sign that they actually repented publicly.

Your point is very valid, but in this case Anheuser-Busch had long branded themselves as the hard-working, (mostly) blue collar beer of American MEN. Anheuser-Busch may be one of the few companies whose brand is as much their product as their actual product.

Then that company hired a spokesMAN whose pretending to be a girl is going to be antithetical to their traditional customer base's values. Customers suddenly say "I thought they 'got me,' guess they don't." When Anheuser-Busch does realize the error of their ways, they should expect to have a tough time winning back their old customers, especially when comparable products exist.
