it's evidence that what's important is broken. you guys sound like recruiting apparatus when you try to spin this. This isn't the Price is Right. You are selecting a college to attend. The coach should matter, the academics should matter, the facilities and support should matter. A random car situated outside of Manley shouldn't. Again, i'm an old man at this point but feel like society lost the script here.
Not one of these kids is picking us because we have a lambo with Otto on the hood. Or because they can play with some 100 dollar bills. It's a photo shoot.
And the post you replied to was a comment he made about a post within this thread about rumors that Texas kids were getting lambos … no one said anything about SU. Just follow the posts, kids getting access to cars like that won’t end well. Isn’t this thread about Texas originally hence the title? What did I miss?
No one said Texas players were getting lambos? OP was literally a video with the same thing SU has been doing.
I’m well aware but not in the volume they can do today. More cars means more issues, it’s pretty simple. As I stated earlier kids are getting them, Carson Beck being one of the most public. Let’s not pretend that at some of these schools they are “display only”.
So 0.01% of kids have nice cars?
i have less of an issue (or no issue) with kids having nice cars. Marvin Harrison drove around with a very nice Lexus back in the day. I was legit happy for him. Worked hard at Heckingers probably to get that car paid for.
Jealousy? I never said either one was in an accident, we went from no one gets cars like that to now it’s well they get them but no accident. Ok … as for the 0.01% if you account for all D1 sports fine but football it’s far higher.
Article link was broken and I couldn't read it but I figured a bunch of college kids driving around high performance cars is ripe for a DUI death incident like what Ruggs did. I guess from reading other posts' it was just photo ops.
They had cars in the '80s*.
^^^^^THIS. SU is literally doing exactly what every major school in America is doing with glorified photo ops on recruiting OVs. Shiny cars, colorful backdrops with hats and crowns. Big chairs with piles of fake hundos. I think it absolutely shows that Fran and the staff are in touch with 14-18 year olds. Literally every school does this. This is not unique to SU. The bling is what these kids enjoy sharing on social media. Whats so hard to get?
This may be unpopular, and I am not saying I like it myself, but I don't believe any major D1 football player goes to any specific college bc of their academics or historical signifigance anymore. I think the thousands of posts on this board alone about NIL and money kind of supports that. Recruits are choosing a semi pro spot that they think will pay them the most, and have the staff to help them get to the league. This is college fb today.
I worked in insurance. There are bad drivers and good drivers. Doesn't matter age, race, religion etc.
Hasn't the insurance industry told us for decades, based on their data, that young men under 25 are the most reckless drivers and that's why they pay the highest rates of any demographic?
Yes and it’s reflected in insurance rates …
Not concerned I stated an opinion, you know folks are entitled to those. Just because it doesn’t align with yours doesn’t make it any less valid. There is a reason supercar companies have driving schools for high speed driving and KIA doesn’t. The fact is driving cars capable of that pull and performance is not something to play with for any adult let alone those with less driving experience. Again have you driven in excess of 160 mph something many of these vehicles are quite capable of, I have and it’s an eye opening experience.
I’m trying decide if this is sarcasm or lack of thought around statistics and what they mean.
Gotta love the Syracuse-Cornell Big Red Bear Orangemen.
