Well at least until his inheritance start coming in anyway then he will be good the rest of the way
Arch probably needs to save some himself. I think his dad is worth a few mill thanks to the family name (and grandpa probably is worth a few mill as well) but the ones that are worth 100s of millions are his uncles. You have to figure their fortunes are being left to their kids but who knows. Either way, I doubt Arch is ever going to struggle to get by.

You would think with the number of situations that you’ve had like this, people would think twice about nothing millions of dollars into a college kid.

Agreed.

First question is, who is dumping all the money in? People to whom millions is not that much? In that case, they dont really care.

If its the sum of "normal" people pooling their cash? Then you start to wonder how long people will keep forking over cash for fickle teen age athletes who may or may not produce.

It's amazing the amount of money we spend on college sports that don't benefit us any other than maybe being able to pick on your neighbors when you beat them. We ***** about how much things cost but have no problem throwing money away on sports

It's just a game. I don't know about you all but, my life is not made significantly better or worse if Carolina wins or loses a football game. I get a better benefit eating at a good seafood place. That's money well spent. But money to a college kid? I don't think so.

I think it was you, Stock, who mentioned the charities as an alternative to paying college kids to play a game.

It's hard to write a check to a guy to play football when in your other hand you have child cancer, homelessness or starving people in competition for that money.

A commercial on television regarding St. Jude Children's Research Hospital has a father on talking about his daughter suffering from cancer. He thanked all the donors saying the donations "save lives". That's more meaningful and long lasting than any touchdown.

I would never give money to college football. I just can't imagine. I suppose if I were worth hundreds of millions of $$ and giving a few million to my favorite team was just a fun hobby or something. But it's beyond me to think that a regular working Joe would give money. Can't fathom it.

If the statistic I read is correct, he is dead last in the SEC in completion percentage.

If I were a multi millionaire and the money was pocket change to me, I'd probably donate enough to get good seats at the games but I'd never give a penny to NIL. I can think of so many other things I could spend money on that I would enjoy more.

I would not however, own a Cockaboose. That's for people who treat Saturdays at Williams-Brice like "a day at the races."
