According to today's Chronic: "If you wanted to write a manual about how to go into bankruptcy, Vince's story would be it," said Ed Butowsky, a Dallas financial adviser who contributed to an ESPN Films documentary about the money woes of pro athletes. "It's a classic example of all the things that can go wrong." "(Young) invested in private, illiquid investments, and he overspent," Butowsky said. My question is this: Exactly what are " private, illiquid investments"? Are we talking snow cone stands and car washes here? (Those of you who saw "Broke" will understand the question).
The guy is a genius. Rumor was that he enrolled into the remedial program at UT. Damn shame for that one kid who busted his/her ass but didn't get in to UT and had to accept UTSA as a consolation.
VY bought in millions to the university. Who cares what other kid did. It isn't like UT is that selective either to start with.
That's perfect timing- imagine if the texans had Keenum, VY, & J. Football on the roster (schaub will be qb coach), how awesome houston sports talk radio could be next year.
Um, unless that kid could run a 4.4, bench 300 and/or had a 4 or 5 star Rivals rating, there is no impact. Off topic - Was it you? How did you like UTSA?

@SportsCenter: Browns are expected to sign QB Vince Young to one-year deal. (via http://t.co/2ARFkdmkto) http://t.co/YNdqpoRHl6
Wow, VY seemed to know and stuck to his (NFL) guns -- he could compete for a starting spot next year in Cleveland -- amazing.
