I think at 58 years of age, I could still play overseas. 😁
There are pro leagues all over Europe (and Turkey, Russia, Israel...). If he wants to play internationally...and he's from England so he knows the score...he can make a 10 year career out of it.
Yep, not exactly enlightening, but what do you expect from the Beacon.
The best comment from the PCCC forum on Burns- "You mean you can't use the university credit card to set up your DraftKings account?"
Amanda Garrett got paid to type a lot of words that ultimately provided zero details. The 30 seconds I spent skimming that article are lost forever. Bummer.
The article stated CMU is near or at the bottom of the MAC in NIL. Probably the only way for them to succeed is being able to identify D2 players who are overlooked and then landing them. I wouldn't bet on him succeeding unless financial support steps up for the program, but he's probably the type of candidate that gives them their best chance.
Hope this isn't firewalled. It is the Beacon article on the info they learned through a public records request about Burns firing.

This is the money top schools pay. Is Utah a top school, no but probably has a decent budget. You can’t blame the kid for making life changing money if he invests it right!
It's hard for me to fault the kid. I love my job, but if a recruiter reached out to me telling me they would double or triple my pay to do the exact same job for a competitor, I'd probably leave as well. That doesn't necessarily mean he didn't enjoy his time here.
