Ben may get 100 mill + on shoe deal

Sources say that we could know the fate of Ben Simmons' sneaker deal by as early as the end of next week.
The LSU alumni stands to make over $100 million from his endorsement, and sources tell The Vertical that Nike and adidas will make formal pitches to lock down the projected top pick this week. Klutch Sports Group, the agency founded by LeBron James' agent and long-time friend Rich Paul which also represents Simmons, will hold a meeting with adidas tomorrow in Los Angeles. After that, Simmons and Klutch Sports are expected to speak with Nike this weekend.

Australian teenager Ben Simmons is being courted by shoe giants Adidas and Nike, but he won't be getting anywhere near the much-publicised $US100 million contract.
The 19-year-old is expected to be offered five-year shoe deals worth around $US2.2 million ($A2.95 million) to $US2.5 million ($A3.35 million), Yahoo! Sports reported.

Ben just may = Jamarcus Russell
Basketball much more forgiving but he'll definitely take an initial beating. NBA will allow him to survive.

Does taking class for 1 semester with a GPA under 2.0 make you an alumni?

I can assure you that this part will not disqualify you.

Well it makes you an alumnus if that's what you mean

Well for starters, nobody can be an alumni. Except maybe Siamese twins.

You people downvoting need to look up the definition first.
Posted on 5/5/16 at 8:10 pm to RummelTiger
Meh, the definition may say former student, but it's pretty widely accepted that alumni implies you graduated from a university.
