I have my new toy at a local shop here in Athens getting Paint Protection Film, new window tint and Ceramic coating put on.
Anyway, next to my car was Carson Becks car, he just brought it in for new tint and PPF. Made my toy look like a Yugo.

Anyway his car?
A Lamborghini Urus Performate with a starting sticker price of over 300k. I am sure this is standard these days at all Big SEC schools.
I mean yeh for him but sheesh a college student buying a 300k car (That is just the starting sticker)
The game we love is slowly dying. Call me an old man I guess.

Which go me thinking imagine what Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson or Joe Burrow, etc would have gotten in NIL money had that existed in their day... .

Edit - I just noticed a post on the RANT about this. I apologize for the duplicate. I rarely read the SEC Rant as its a sea of complete idiots generally..

TV money created all this. Before then, coaches made reasonable salaries and players got a couple bucks for working for car washes and beer distributors on the side.

Herschel was reportedly paid $250,000 before he ever committed to UGA. His parents got a new house with a swimming pool. The man who became Hershel's agent told me that when Herschel was a sophomore. Before our conversation that man asked me where I went to college. Because I was a Dawg he was sure that I wouldn't blab. That's all ancient history now.

I am a car guy so researched his car.

Holy smokes.
657 HP twin turbo.
0-6 in 3.1 seconds.

That car has some power.

Did he actually buy it? I keep seeing people say that but that seems....unlikely. I would assume that it's far more likely he's leased it for 12 months.

Also we've seen it at ole miss, bama, texas, and probably doznes more schools of players posing with lambos, bentleys, etc. It's just part of the NIL game. I figure that the dealership lets the plaver have the car for a limited amoutn of time and in turn they get mega exposure as the cool dealserhip where players get their ride.

I 'm sure carson got a hefty payday to come back but I would honestly be disappointed if he actually purchased this vehicle straight up.

What car did you get (if you don’t mind saying) and what shop did your ppf? I’m a little bit off a car nerd here in watkinsville. I’m ripping around in a mid life crisis mobile, an integra type s.

There's a difference between a 5th year senior who sat on the bench for 3 years waiting his turn and then lit it up when his number got called, and a true freshman coming out of high school with a $300k car. Carson has earned this. If this were a pic of Puglisi or any freshmen I'd be more cranky about it.

Yeah, I’m not gonna pretend to be annoyed by this.

Carson Beck getting a nice car at this stage of his career is everything NIL SHOULD be
