What about the ATM in the Athletic facility? I heard it disappeared??? It's gone with the 2013 class, I would hate to be the 2016 class, always hearing about how the good ole days used to be when you could bully Barney into giving you the black card when your personal card was out for the month.
***First day of summer workouts(2013)***
"4 stars & 5 stars, listen up 3 stars you can listen to, and 2 stars, but only if your a reserve DT that we stole from Arkansas State:
Here is your Bank of Winona debit card, don't lose it because someone will have to go drive all the way down there to get you a new one. It has a set amount of money withdraw able each month because we have too many of you on payroll, so we have to create a budget so that the whole system doesn't collapse. You know what you're set amount is, it was previously agreed on during your in home visits and contracts were signed, so don't even try to go over, or you'll have to see Barney...."
***time passes***
"coach, my momma's light bill is due, what should I do about it, u know she don't work... it's $305... and i already spent all my money on the card for the month!"
"LT, we have already been over this. Someone need's to explain the exact cost because I can't handle surprise amounts, the bank gives me a strict budget and I just enter it into your accounts at the beginning of the month."
"Exactly, idk what's goin on I thought everything was included in the rent"
"No, everything is included in the set amount the bank gives us which we then give to you. It is up to you to be sure that all that gets paid at the beginning of the month before you buy an ounce of weed or spice or whatever it is y'all 5 stars do. We are working off loans right now, and the 2013 class cost the bank atleast 10% of it's assets, so just be sure you stick the the budget next month because there isn't much to give beyond the agreed amount. We are lucky that the Vaught Society is donating money at double the rate as usual, someone has to pay the loans back."
"Yes sir, I will, now can I get that $305, that's how much an ounce of pot cost, I mean my momma's power bill...."
"Wassup coach, gas masks aint no good without the gas, can you meet me in the IDP right now? thanks."
****A few weeks go by****
"Mr John, this LT"
"What's up"
"I need a favor"
"what u need"
"can u call me, we probably shouldn't txt 2 much bout this stuff, you know, just in case someone that I screwed out of money wants revenge and hacks my phone and puts these on instagram minutes before I get drafted 1st overall and then i accidentally admit on live television that you paid me and your name will forever be known as that guy that set up payments between Ole Miss players and coaches."
"Yes, we have told you to clear your phone every time we talk or to use the burner phone, that's what they are for, CSPIRE is one of the top members of the vaught society, it's right there near the top of the list, so we get the burners for free and don't have to pay them back, so use them! now please pick up the burner and call me back LT, I got about 60 other contracts to deal with you aren't the only guy on the team with a mom."
"Coach, I need help paying my rent coach, there was an added fee or sum like dat"
"Good god, you don't listen to anything, you don't use the burner and don't stick to the damn budget! There was no added fee, because I 17ing set them up with realitor before you and your family moved in! If you weren't a 5 star.... Nevermind, just go see Barney next week.... and don't forget to delete these messages. Also, whatever you do, stick with the agent you signed with on your in home visit back when we were recruiting you for that one week before signing day. You two made an agreement, once again it's an investment, he bought your Mom the house and the car straight up, you sign with him after your contract is up here and you sign your NFL contract to pay him back the original loan and eventually more. Once again, the monthly salary y'all get is from the bank, and is for your whole family, including your step father, so don't be greedy, I have a feeling you wouldn't wanna piss him off. Now I'm sure Freeze will try to get you to sign with another agent, probably his, so that he can get a portion of it and deposit it into the bank so he can get his bonus on top of his $5 mil. Don't listen, or do listen, because I will get the table scraps of that bonus for an early return on the bank loan. Now go delete those messages and please don't text me again about needing money, I'm not the ATM, that's in the Indoor Practice Facility(IPF), and Barney is getting tired of using his black card in that ATM, way too many overrides and Freeze get's mad at us when he let's yall go over budget, please don't make him make another trip down to Winona again, he has trouble seeing the road through all his bull shit."
"yes sir i'm bout to delete em right now(as he puts the gas mask on and smokes next month cell phone's bill away)"
