Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for January 03, 2024

“We have the top criminal law firm in the state on retainer!”

“We’ve started a law school just to train more lawyers to help athletes like you. Looks like the first graduates will be ready for the bar exam about the time you’re getting out of here.”

Is he recruiting footballers or magas?

Many years ago I worked for a private school that did recruit from the courts, go to this school or go to jail (I mean not most of the students but a few.)

I’d like to think this is a futuristic strip, with BD speaking to Trump in prison.

But, then—the Orange Baboon is NO athlete!!

In today’s world, dating service = cringe.

Trump University used to offer these things. (Boy, did it cost a BUNDLE, tho!)

Must be FSU – Felony State University!

Now they offer them the millions of dollars for their “Likeness and Image”.

I presume this Jimmy is not related to the innocent Mr Thudpucker.

I’m surprised Nike never sued Trudeau for trademark infringement.

You recruit thugs, you better have that legal package.

This is not much of an exaggeration.

Doubt a Division II or III school would have the money to offer a recruit anything more than free tuition and a dorm room. Today they only get $243/$129 per athlete from the NCAA.

“Now you’tr talking my current and future needs.”

Lava Lava Lenny,where hath thou vanished to?

With NIL the corruption is now above the table. Great improvement while Olympic sports keep getting dropped by colleges

Encouraging aggression is a major part of sports. Sometimes there is spillover into reality.
