Georgia football's Carson Beck reportedly purchases Lamborghini Urus Performante

[Coach25]

Well, you're only young once...

I paid less than $500 for my first vehicle it was a 78 Dodge Power Wagon truck. Working my butt off to earn enough money to buy that truck made me really appreciate it even more. Kids this day expect a car for 16th birthday and apparently if you are a star athlete only the high end luxury cars will do lol.

I wouldn't buy a car like that if I was worth a billion dollars.

Then again, the only thing I care about in cars is functionality and reliability.

I guess that comes from being the son of a junk man who drove base model trucks even after he was successful.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

we were talking abut cars at work and found an Aston Martin for almost 400k. what kind of idiot pays that for a car? even if I had billions, I would not pay that for a car.

 

[BigAlinKnoxville]

My man bought a Lambo while wearing crocs…

This is all the evidence you need to realize NIL has destroyed college football.

You know those little holes the crocs have? Those are where your dignity leaks out.

Why rush to the NFL? Get a Lambo while in school....

It's getting to the point where you have to think kids might start staying in school instead of going pro because the paydays are higher.

I think for the short term, you may very well be spot on. But, as this "thing" continues to evolve (in the wrong direction mind you) these business people and their businesses will begin to be a lot more shrewd in their NIL contracts, and as with anything that deals with money, "good" business folks are always trying to construct it where they have all or the majority leverage and recourse. I see NIL lawsuits in the future between player and payer for things like breach of contract, and all types of legal mess that the adults often get into when dealing with contracts. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling I'm not.

 

[Go Bama]

I give Beck a 50/50 chance of wrecking the car within a year.

My money says he didn't get the base model.

[GrayTide]

It has been said many times before on Tidefans that the NIL and Transfer Portal have, or will soon, ruin college football. Coach Saban saw this and wisely said "I am outta here". Never thought I would say this, but I am not looking forward to the upcoming football season and that includes Alabama. Maybe I will have mellowed out by September, but right now my interest level is very low.

I'm just holding out hope something will be done about the transfer portal which I think if done right, will greatly reduce the current volatility in CFB which includes the impact of the NIL.

 

[Ledsteplin]

I think his is black.

Yeah, there's reason to believe it will get better.

 

[BigAlinKnoxville]

That looks like a Subaru you would see a soccer mom driving. If you're going to spend the price of a Lamborghini, at least get one that looks the part.

It looks hideous.

TBF, if you had billions, what else would you spend it on other than house and car...?

Though that particular car, I would NEVER buy...billions or not.

I would spend it on some hawt women that only love me for my billions

 

[NoNC4Tubs]

Driving what...?

 

[Coach25]

I’d pay off all my debts and then live off of interest. I’d give to some of my favorite charities, take care of some necessities for a few people in our community, buy a little more land, college funds for my kids, but I’d still farm, teach, and coach like I always have. I’d still shop and same old stores and drive same old vehicles

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Driving what...?

BMW M series. already drive a 3 series so basically just a flashier version

That's the way it was before the 1960's. One reason Coach Bryant never considered going pro.

Not sure about coaches, but before free agency, NFL players were paid almost nothing. I remember reading about the great Packers teams of the 60s. Those guys had to get 2nd jobs in the off-season to support their families.
