In a shocking move, a prominent college football program has taken drastic measures to avoid a repeat of a recent humiliating defeat. Following a 34-point thrashing at the hands of a powerhouse opponent, the team’s administration allegedly agreed to hand over a staggering $1 million to their conquerors in exchange for a guarantee that they wouldn’t have to face them again next season.
While it’s understandable that no team wants to suffer a brutal beating, shelling out such a large sum of money seems excessive, especially considering that they’ll need to schedule another top-tier opponent anyway. The real question is, what kind of return on investment can they expect for that hefty price tag? It’s unlikely they’ll find an opponent that would provide a sure-fire victory, making this deal seem like a questionable use of resources.
What’s even more baffling is the decision to make this agreement public knowledge immediately after the game. Wouldn’t it have been wiser to keep the deal under wraps until the off-season, avoiding the embarrassment and scrutiny that comes with such a move? As a donor to the program, one would expect a higher level of fiscal responsibility and strategic thinking. It’s time for some tough questions to be asked about how funds are being allocated.
