He actually said he was no longer the right guy for the job.
Was watching PTI the other day, and Wilbon said his son's friend is a 5 star recruit. (He didn't say what sport.)
Anyway, the kid has always had his heart set on going to school X.
He decided on his college & Wilbon said ge told his son there was no drama, he's going to X.
His son said nope. School Y offered him $400k per year. Four hundred grand!
Kid could end up not good enough for the pros & still leave college with over a million bucks.
On top of that, Adrian Wojnarowski left ESPN to become his alma mater's athletic department GENERAL MANAGER! A college athletic department needs a GM. Like managing a salary cap & distribution of payments.
I can see why Bennet has had enough.
