Now, until the present day, I’ve always said publicly that my grandparents bought me that car. My grandfather made good money from his job as a crane operator at a steel mill, and my grandma’s name is on the paperwork, so that’s technically true. But behind the scenes, A&M had agreed to reimburse her. And that, my friends, is how the notorious Trans Am was paid for.

This is my shocked face.

Fuck him and fuck James, too.

Not for taking the benefit.  Congrats to them for pimping the pimps.

Fuck them for participating in (or at least not denouncing) the "amateurism" of NCAA sports.
