I would say he is an Advantaged person. Most people are not 6-5 250lbs and get free tuition for playing kid-games. Football size is an unearned gift the same as being born to Jensen Hwang. Most students have to work 20 to 40 hours to only partially-pay for tuition and meals. Plus the regular kids have to be chiseled for meal plans, activities fees, and let the football players use the good parking spots.

Mizzou should pay the Liquidated Damages for the player. But they are not bound to pay, since the individual kid is the contract signer with UGA.
