I think you mean Western Alabama Community College of Selma, also now as CCWAS.
GiG is somewhat right. The proceeds are protected unless they change their nature, for instance if he used them to buy a super car. But, the Juice knew he had creditors (the Goldman’s) after him for so long he would not have screwed that up and would have only bought another protected asset, like a Florida homestead.

Listen little girl:
1. I only posted a small addition to the thread that while this guy pissed away a lot of money, in reality is was not as bad as the headline "salary" number indicates. It was a small point that I care little about.
2. Then some other little girl like you decide that was a big deal and claimed essentially no one in the world cares about net income.
3. I pointed out I do and I know lots of people similarly who do.
4. Then yet another (I think different but I don't bother checking the names of inane poster here) little girl like you put up a BS meter.
5. So I admitted AS I HAVE NOT ON THIS BOARD before what I do for a living so that he might see that his BS meter was the BS. I try not to make a big deal on message boards about what I do. I think their charm is that everyone from the CEO of a big company to the janitor can offer up their opinion and their opinion stands on its own not who they are.
6. Then you show up as another fascist little girl thinking you are going to tell me what I can and can not post, what abbreviation I can use, etc. That you little fascists think you are going to push me around is amusing. That you are so slow or so sloppy that you did not bother to read the thread and just piled on shows you nature. And no little Ms fascist you are not going to push me around.

FIFY
Since you love pictures and are most certainly the most dense poster in this thread, I’ll just use pictures to make it easy to sum up your progression of posts in this thread:

Just for the record, I’ve emailed Ox a dozen or so times over the years to get rid of that BS meter. It’s insulting. And who knows if it’s even accurate.
Sadly, I knew this day would come.

We all know AP is going to need to work after his NFL career comes to an end, there is no doubt about that, as sad as that may be. In the spirit of goodwill and helping out a guy in need, I think we should put our collective minds together and help AP decide on a good second career after his running back days are over. Earlier in this post I referenced him being a casino greeter but I’ve changed my mind. I’ll start and I hope each of you add your idea to this thread. My suggestion is:
owner/operator of a daycare center

Great, I hope you bring that to the attention of the person who posted personal attacks on me. Fortunately I responded without a personal attack.

Oscar Wilde once wrote that “sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.” While he may have been right, I’m always a sucker for a good dose of it. In my book, this was a beaut.

It's more of a guideline and than a rule.
It also helps if personal attacks are funny.

You beat me to it. Reading this article made me realize that Mark Twain was wrong when he said history doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes. This situation with athletes repeats itself EVERY SINGLE YEAR! I am absolutely amazed that these guys continue to fall for being conned like this. I don't care how dumb or financially naive a person is, the fact is you don't need to be smart to avoid being scammed like this when you've heard 100's of horror stories of pro athletes before you that have fallen victim to this. All you have to do is say "No, I'm putting my money in a good old fashioned bank account at the local branch by my house rather than allow you to invest it for me in stuff I don't understand" or "No, I'm going to pay cash for my house & my car and limit the $500 dinners to once per month". That doesn't take any level whatsoever of intelligence to do. It doesn't take any knowledge about the stock market, the bond market, a mutual fund, a credit default swap, a mortgage back security, a butterfly spread in the options market, etc. Heck it doesn't even require any common sense. It only takes a small level of selfishness/self preservation instincts...yet these knuckleheads continue to fall for this. And by the way, if you are going to hire an investment advisor separate from your agent (probably a good idea IMO if you do hire an advisor) why isn't the agent looking at the finances once a year...or requiring the player to retain an outside CPA firm to do an annual audit? I don't get this at all.
This is what happens when young men are passed through school year after year regardless of their actual performance due to their athletic ability.
I am waiting for someone to come forward and claim that poor AP was exploited by people and that none of this is his fault even though we all know he owns it all.
