That is a common screed with me whether we win a NC or have to settle for a more mortal 14-1 record and a title game loss by 4 on a last minute go-ahead TD.

If you are talking overall, I am 50% humor, 50% asshole, 10% informative, 20% contrarian, and 17% mathematical and logical purist - whether Bama wins or loses.

It's idiotic. People who think college kids don't drive cars? People not smart enough to know that you can still get a student loan and a Pell Grant even on scholarship make me sick. Just morons.
I discuss things, give my opinions. Share my knowledge and wisdom with the unwashed here.
Some embrace that. Others are confused. They look at my posts with the cocked-head of the RCA dog looking at a victrola. I am here to educate and enrich. To enlighten and improve.
You. Are. Welcome.

Auburn fans like to post pics of used chargers that a few Bama players have bought. Someone look up the blue book of a 2013 Charger with some miles on it, or maybe calculate the payment for a car and see if a student loan would cover it. Further, mom and dads save move for kid's colleges and pay into funds for it. When you get a full ride, that money can be spent elsewhere.
Just checked the Kelly Blue Book on 2013 Dodge Charger. Trade in value 25k.
Pell Grant max is 5920 (over 2 semesters)
2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR
See pricing for the Used 2013 Dodge Charger SE Sedan 4D. Get KBB Fair Purchase Price, MSRP, and dealer invoice price for the 2013 Dodge Charger SE Sedan 4D. View local inventory and get a quote from a dealer in your area.
Taking something in the middle and based on a 48-month loan, you have roughly 5k/yr in payments.
Pell Grant of 5.5k/yr
Student loan(s) up to 9.5k/yr (goes up each year)
Incidentals' stipend of 5k/yr
So, without any parental help, a young man can receive, tax free (or deferred), up to $20,000 in cash a year with a pell and around $14,500 without one. $5500 in car payments in a year are very doable.
A used 2013 is not an issue.
College kids drive. As I pass the student lot on the way to the faculty lot, I note that the kids are driving nice cars. These are not football players.

As far as my job, I was in hospital administration for years as a EVP/COO. Before I got into healthcare leadership, I held a variety of clinical positions. I retired, started a consulting firm, sold that, retired again, got bored, and then took an endowed chair of buggery, bourbon, and chainsaw repair at a large university.
I also do a lot of work with unwed mothers.
