[DISTANT CHATTER]

KENNY: FIRST-TEAM
GUNNER ON PUNT
AND KICKOFF TEAM--

SPENCER JAMES!
[CHUCKLES]

- THAT'S GOOD.
- WHAT'S UP, MAN? CONGRATS.

- THANK YOU.
- OH, AND I SEE YOU'RE

STILL KEEPING YOUR
WIDEOUT SKILLS SHARP.

AS MUCH AS I CAN.

YEAH, SPECIAL TEAMS
IS MY FOCUS RIGHT NOW,

BUT...DOESN'T LEAVE ME
MUCH TIME FOR REPS WITH
YOU AND THE RECEIVERS.

THE IMPORTANT THING
IS GARRETT HAS
HIS EYES ON YOU,

AND HE LIKES WHAT
HE SEES, SPENCE.
THAT'S BIG.

- HMM.
- SO WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THIS WEEK'S GAME PLAN?

WE HAVEN'T FACED
A DEFENSE LIKE
THE SPARTANS YET.

NO, WE HAVEN'T, BUT RPOs
AND PLAY ACTION
SHOULD KEEP 'EM

OFF-BALANCE, OPEN UP
THE DEEP THREAT.

I WAS GONNA TELL YOU
TO KEEP IT UP
ON SPECIAL TEAMS

AND YOU'D EARN
YOURSELF ANOTHER
SHOT AT WIDEOUT,

BUT...I GET
THE SENSE THAT'S
ALREADY YOUR PLAN.

- YES, SIR.
- NOW, YOU GET BACK TO IT,

A'IGHT? STAY READY.
SPENCER: LUCK.

LUCK.

[CLAPPING]
WADE: LET'S GO,
LET'S GO, LET'S GO!

AUREATE CHARTERS IS
IN THE WADE WATERS
BUSINESS, BABY!

HELL YEAH!
BRYANT: DUDE, HOW MUCH
YOU BRINGING IN?

WADE: LOOK, THE N.I.L.
ISN'T ALL ABOUT
THE CASH, OK?

SOMETIMES
IT'S ABOUT THE PERKS,
AND IN AUREATE'S CASE,

THE PERKS ARE VERY,
VERY ATTRACTIVE.

WAIT, WAIT. YOU--YOU LANDED
A DEAL WITH AN AIRLINE?

CHARTER JETS, MAN.
HEY, LOOK, WHEN I SIGN
MY DEAL TOMORROW,

I'LL BE FLYING
PRIVATE WHENEVER
AND WHEREVER I WANT.

MAN, BAKER, YOU KEEP
THROWING 40-YARD DIMES
AND EMBARRASSING

THE DBs LIKE YOU DID
AT PRACTICE TODAY,
SAME SPONSORS

GONNA COME FOR YOU
ONCE I GO PRO.

I--I'VE NEVER FLOWN
ON A PRIVATE JET.

AUREATE'S THROWING ME
A PRIVATE PARTY

SATURDAY IN VEGAS.
YOU BOYS THINK WE

SHOULD BRING BAKER ALONG?
PLAYERS: YEAH.

[CLAPPING]
JORDAN: YOU SERIOUS?

WADE: MAN, YOU WANT
TO TASTE THE GOOD LIFE?
JORDAN: HELL YEAH.

PLAYER: HELL YEAH!
LET'S GO! WHOO!

VEGAS! WHOO! WHOO!
[CLAPPING]

[DISTANT CHATTER]

HEY, MY BAD. MY BAD.

- I'M SORRY.
I STARTED WITHOUT YOU.
- DON'T WORRY.

I KNOW BETTER THAN
TO GET BETWEEN YOU
AND A SANDWICH.

- [GIGGLES]
- [SIGHS]

"NAME, IMAGE,
LIKENESS:

NEW BEGINNING
OR BEGINNING
OF THE END?" OK.

RESEARCH. AHEM.

I'M PITCHING
MY N.I.L. ARTICLE
TO CHRISTEL TOMORROW.

AIN'T, LIKE, HALF THE
STORIES ON THE "TRIBUNE"
HOME PAGE YOUR PITCHES?

MMM, PRETTY MUCH,
EXCEPT THEY WERE ALL
ASSIGNED TO OTHER WRITERS.

I AM JUST HOPING

THAT IF I NAIL THIS PITCH,
CHRISTEL WILL ACTUALLY

LET ME WRITE THE ARTICLE
THIS TIME.

DO YOU NOT WANT ME
TO WRITE THE ARTICLE?

- [CHUCKLES]
- I MEAN, I KNOW YOU DON'T

EXACTLY LIKE MY TAKE
ON N.I.L. AT ALL.

WE DON'T HAVE TO AGREE
ON EVERYTHING FOR ME
TO WANT YOU TO SUCCEED.

I WANT THIS FOR YOU.

AND ACTUALLY,
I WAS THINKING,

I KNOW YOU AND DAVITA
DIDN'T EXACTLY SEE
EYE-TO-EYE WHEN YOU

FIRST MET, BUT SHE
MIGHT ACTUALLY BE
A GOOD RESOURCE

FOR YOUR STORY, GIVE YOU
A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW?
OLIVIA: UH, I MEAN,

I'M NOT REALLY LOOKING FOR
A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW.

THE PITCH IS TOMORROW, SO...
SPENCER: OK. I JUST THOUGHT
MAYBE IF YOU...

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'MMA MIND MY BUSINESS.

- MMM.
- FORGET I ASKED.

- YEAH.
- HEH HEH!

GOOD LUCK.

UH, AHEM.
WELL, I SHOULD

PROBABLY GET BACK
TO THE LIBRARY, SO...

- OK.
- [KISS]

COOP: EXCUSE ME.

NOW, WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING IN HERE?

ME? OH, NOTHING.
I WAS, UM--

YEAH, YOU THINK ABOUT IT
WHILE I CALL SECURITY.

OH, YOU REALLY DON'T
NEED TO DO THAT.

MARITTA: SKYE?

HEY, GIGI.

W-WAIT.
YOU--YOU KNOW HER?

THIS IS
MY GRANDDAUGHTER SKYE.

COOP: LOOK, I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW. I JUST--

SKYE: OH, NO, NO.
IT'S ALL GOOD. AHEM.

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME
YOU WERE COMING.

AH. WELL, I WANTED
TO SURPRISE YOU,

AND THEN I DIDN'T WANT
TO WAKE YOU, BUT NOW

THAT YOU'RE UP, WANT
TO GUESS WHO GOT
THROWN OUT

OF LaMELO'S HOUSE PARTY
THIS WEEKEND?
MARITTA: LORD.

WHAT DID SHAYNA DO THIS TIME?
SKYE: HEH!

WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME IF I
TOLD YOU IT WASN'T HER FAULT?
MARITTA: NO,

AND I'D BE RIGHT.
COOP: I'MMA GO AHEAD
AND GET ON

OUTTA HERE, UH,
IF YOU DON'T NEED ME.

SKYE:
GORGEOUS, RIGHT?

MARITTA: HEH HEH! ABSOLUTELY.
SKYE: IS THAT CRAZY?

MARIETTA: YEAH.
DAVITA: QUITE THE
TURNAROUND FROM YOU.

SPENCER:
I WOULDN'T SAY THAT.

JUST STILL NOT INTERESTED
IN TAKING WHATEVER DEAL

COMES MY WAY FOR
A QUICK BUCK.

I'M JUST SAYING,
COUPLE WEEKS AGO,
THE FOCUS

WAS GETTING YOUR
CONFIDENCE BACK AND
YOUR PLAYING TIME UP.

CLEARLY, THAT SEEMS
TO BE WORKING, SO
I'M NOT SURPRISED

TO SEE YOU SNIFFING
AROUND N.I.L. THINGS
AGAIN.

KINDA HARD NOT TO WHEN
YOU GOT FOLKS TALKING
'BOUT THEIR CRAZY DEALS

AT THE TOP OF
THEIR LUNGS ALL DAY.

HEY, I GET IT.
ENDORSEMENTS ARE A HOT TOPIC
IN EVERY D1 LOCKER ROOM.

EASY TO CATCH THE BUG
WHEN TEAMMATES ARE MAKING
6 FIGURES AND DRIVING M3s.

- TRY 7 FIGURES
AND CHARTERED JETS.
- GOD!

I SHOULD HAVE PLAYED FOOTBALL.
SPENCER: YEAH.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]
DAVITA: SERIOUSLY, THOUGH,

THE DEALS YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT ARE

THE CROWN JEWELS
OF THE N.I.L.

YOU'RE NOWHERE
NEAR THERE.

ANY CHANCE I'M 4 FIGURES
AND A RELIABLE SEDAN?

I'M JUST SAYING,
IT'D BE NICE NOT TO HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT MONEY ANYMORE.

MORE ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT
WAFFLES AND WINGS.

WANT ANYTHING MORE
THAN THAT, YOU'RE
GONNA NEED SOME HEAT.

- HEAT?
- BUZZ, POP,

PEOPLE TALKING
ABOUT YOU; HARD TO DO
ON SPECIAL TEAMS.

THE WIDEOUT COACH THINKS
I'LL BE TAKING MORE
OFFENSIVE SNAPS SOON.

THAT'S GREAT,
BUT THAT'S JUST
STEP ONE.

YOU GONNA TELL ME
WHAT STEP TWO IS?

SCORE TOUCHDOWNS.

SCORE TOUCHDOWNS.

YOU SAY THAT
LIKE IT'S EASY.

OLIVIA: AND SO, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE THAT HAS IMPACTED

SO MANY PEOPLE--
CHRISTEL: OK, LET ME
STOP YOU RIGHT THERE.

OH, I WAS ONLY JUST
GETTING STARTED.

OLIVIA, THERE'S
ALREADY THOUSANDS

OF N.I.L. ARTICLES
OUT THERE.

I'M NOT INTERESTED
IN JUST ADDING ANOTHER
ONE TO THE PILE.

YEAH, BUT THOSE OTHER WRITERS
DON'T HAVE MY PERSONAL
CONNECTION TO THE STORY.

JUST HEAR ME OUT,
5 MINUTES.

- IT'S NOT A STORY.
- BUT HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?

I MEAN, THE ABILITY
TO PROFIT OFF

OF NAME, IMAGE,
AND LIKENESS IS--IS
A PANDORA'S BOX.

I MEAN, ALL ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, RIGHT NOW,

THERE ARE THOUSANDS
OF COLLEGIATE ATHLETES
THAT ARE--

OK, "PANDORA'S BOX,"
"ACROSS THE COUNTRY,"

"THOUSANDS OF
COLLEGE ATHLETES."

LISTEN TO YOURSELF,
AND TELL ME

YOU HAVEN'T READ
THOSE EXACT WORDS
ABOUT THE N.I.L.

OK. I'LL--I'LL FIND
A NEW ANGLE.

THAT WELL'S GONE DRY.

BESIDES, THOSE
STORIES ALL SOUND

LIKE OPINION PIECES
ANYWAY--

NO FACE,
NO PERSPECTIVE,

JUST STATS AND FACTS
MASQUERADING AS NEWS.

SO YOU JUST WANT ME
TO DROP IT?

CHRISTEL, THERE IS
A STORY HERE.

NO. YOU WANT THERE
TO BE BECAUSE IT'S
A WORLD YOU KNOW,

A SUBJECT YOU'RE
PASSIONATE ABOUT,

BUT THAT DOESN'T
MAKE IT A STORY.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE
ITCHING FOR YOUR
FIRST BYLINE,

BUT THIS ISN'T IT.

FORGET N.I.L.

WE'LL FIND
THE RIGHT STORY
FOR YOU.

[DOOR OPENS]
- [SIGHS]

[SETS DOWN PEN]

♪ MAKIN' SOME PANCAKES, YEAH

♪ I'M MAKIN' A PAN--
JAYMEE: OH, THIS IS DIFFERENT.

- HEY. HEH!
- [GIGGLES]

UH, YEAH, NO GAME ON
THE WEEKEND MEANS NO
7 A.M. COACHES' MEETING.

ALSO MEANS I FINALLY
GOT TO MAKE JACOB'S

"CAN'T SCREW IT UP IF YOU
TRIED" PANCAKE RECIPE.
[JAYMEE GIGGLES]

OH, THAT'S REALLY SWEET,
ASH, BUT I HAVE TO WORK
THE LUNCH SHIFT.

NO, NO, NO. ALMOST DONE.
JUST ONE MINUTE. PROMISE.

- OK.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]

SO, IN ADDITION TO YOU
MAKING PANCAKES,

HOW ARE YOU PLANNING
TO SPEND THIS RARE
SATURDAY OFF?

OH, SOME OF US ARE
GETTING TOGETHER
TO HAVE

A G.A.U. WATCH PARTY
AT SLAUSON CAFEÉ.
JAYMEE: MMM.

I FIGURED IT'D BE
A GOOD CHANCE FOR YOU TO
MEET THE REST OF THE CREW.

ACTUALLY, I LIKE
WATCHING FOOTBALL
IN A STADIUM FULL

OF STRANGERS WITH
AN EMPTY SEAT BESIDE ME.

[GIGGLES]
I'M KIDDING, ASH.
OF COURSE, I'D LOVE TO.

FINALLY GET THE SCOOP
ON HIGH-SCHOOL ASHER.

FINALLY? ALL THE GUYS DO
IS TELL EMBARRASSING
STORIES ABOUT ME.

OH, DUDE GOSSIP ALWAYS
ENDS WITH SOMEONE MAKING
AN ASS OF THEMSELF,

BUT IF I WANT TO FIND OUT
THE REAL ON IF YOUNG ASHER
WAS A LITTLE PLAYER,

I GOT TO TALK TO THE LADIES
THAT YOU KNOW BEST.

- PLAYER? HEH HEH!
- MM-HMM.

NO, NO,
IT WASN'T, LIKE...

WHY WOULD YOU
THINK THAT? WHY WOULD
YOU THINK THAT I WAS--

- ARE YOU A LITTLE WORRIED?
- HEH!

UM, IT'S
A LITTLE SALTY.

THERE'S SALT
IN THE RECIPE.
LOOK, THE T's OF SALT.

HEH! THE T's...

WELL, HERE, I'M GONNA
BE LATE, BUT--HEH!

- AHEM.
- YEAH, I'LL EXPLAIN
THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN BIG T's
AND LITTLE T's WHEN YOU
PICK ME UP TOMORROW, OK?

[KISS]
BYE.

BYE.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE T's?

OLIVIA: I MEAN,
SHE DIDN'T EVEN WANT
TO HEAR OUT THE PITCH.

SHE JUST TOLD ME
TO DROP IT.

- DROP WHAT?
- ANYTHING THAT HAS
TO DO WITH N.I.L.

SHE TOLD ME I NEED
TO LOOK SOMEWHERE ELSE
FOR MY FIRST BYLINE.

I'M SORRY, BABY.
I KNOW YOU REALLY
BELIEVED IN THE STORY.

SOMETHING ELSE
GONNA COME UP.

OH, NO, I'M NOT
DROPPING THIS ONE.
I JUST NEED

TO FIND A TOTALLY
DIFFERENT TAKE
ON THE STORY.

BUT I THOUGHT YOUR BOSS
SAID TO DROP ANYTHING

TO DO WITH N.I.L.
OLIVIA: YEAH, BUT SHE ALSO

MENTIONED THE STORY
NEEDING A FACE,

THE INHERENT INEQUITY
OF THE SYSTEM

AT A HUMAN LEVEL,

A STORY LIKE YOURS.

- LIKE MINE?
- YEAH. I MEAN,

ALL THE N.I.L. PRESS IS
ABOUT MASSIVE PAYDAYS

TO A TINY HANDFUL
OF TOP PLAYERS.

NO ONE'S TOLD THE STORY
OF THE VAST MAJORITY

OF PLAYERS THAT BARELY
GET ANYTHING.

WAIT, AND YOU WANT ME
TO BE THE FACE OF THAT?

LIV, I AM ACTIVELY
SEEKING ENDORSEMENTS.

YOU WANT ME TO BE A PART
OF AN N.I.L. HIT PIECE?

IT'S JUST AN IDEA...

AND I'M GUESSING
IT'S A NO?

- YEAH.
- [SIGHS]
OK, FORGET I MENTIONED IT.

WHY ARE YOU SO DETERMINED
TO WRITE THIS STORY?

'CAUSE IT'S STARTING
TO FEEL PERSONAL.
OLIVIA: IT'S NOT.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU
HAD AN ISSUE WITH N.I.L.

UNTIL I SAW YOU ARGUING
WITH DAVITA ABOUT IT AT
MY FIRST ENDORSEMENT EVENT.

YOU THINK
THIS IS ABOUT YOU?

- IS IT?
- NO! IT--IT'S

A SEISMIC SHIFT
IN COLLEGE SPORTS THAT
EVERYONE'S CELEBRATING

LIKE IT'S SOME
GREAT LEAP FORWARD, BUT
THE REALITY IS--IS THAT

MOST PLAYERS ARE LUCKY
ENOUGH TO GET, LIKE,
A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS.

SO WHY NOT LET US MAKE
A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS?
TO PEOPLE LIKE ME,

THAT'S REAL MONEY, NOT
SOMETHING YOU JUST SHRUG
OFF LIKE IT'S NOTHING.

- AND YOU THINK
I DON'T KNOW THAT?
- YOU DIDN'T LIVE IT.

I DIDN'T MEAN IT
THAT WAY.

YEAH, YOU DID,

AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

I'M PRIVILEGED.

I GREW UP IN
BEVERLY HILLS, OK?

I DON'T DENY THAT,

BUT IF YOU SEEM
TO THINK THAT THAT
INVALIDATES MY POINT

OF VIEW, THEN...
I GUESS THERE'S
NO POINT IN ARGUING.

LIV. LIV, COME ON--

[SIGHS]

EVERYTHING OK,
MS. MARITTA?

SOMEONE STOLE
MY EMERALD EARRINGS
FROM MY ROOM,

AND I JUST KNOW IT'S
ONE OF THE RESIDENTS.

YOU KNOW,
SHERYL GOT CAUGHT
JUST THIS WEEK.

OH, SHE WAS JUST BEING NOSY.
YOU SURE YOU AIN'T FORGET
WHERE YOU PUT 'EM?

[SIGHS]
I DON'T EVEN
WEAR 'EM NO MORE.

THEY'RE SO HEAVY,
HURTS MY EARS.

OK, WELL, WHEN'S
THE LAST TIME
YOU SEEN 'EM?

NIGHT BEFORE LAST.

UM, MS. MARITTA,
I--I DID SEE SOMEONE

UH, IN YOUR ROOM,
AND I THOUGHT IT
WAS SUSPICIOUS.

WHY DIDN'T YOU
SAY ANYTHING?

WELL, BECAUSE IT WAS
YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER.

- SKYE?
- YEAH, I CAME IN,

AND SHE WAS GOING
THROUGH YOUR CLOSET
WHILE YOU WERE ASLEEP.

SKYE...DIDN'T STEAL
MY EARRINGS.

- I'M ONLY TELLING YOU
WHAT I SAW.
- NO.

YOU'RE ACCUSING
MY FAVORITE GRANDDAUGHTER

OF STEALING FROM ME.
COOP: I'M SORRY, OK?

I'M NOT TRYING
TO MAKE YOU UPSET;
I'M JUST TRYING

TO HELP YOU FIND
YOUR EARRINGS,
THAT'S ALL.

THINK I'VE HAD ENOUGH
OF YOUR HELP.

[WHISTLE BLOWS,
PLAYERS SHOUTING]

SPENCE.

- [EXHALES] YO?
- WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?

GARRETT: WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SPENCER: I DON'T KNOW.

I ALWAYS TRY TO AVOID
THAT LOOK WHEN I CAN.

JORDAN:
BRYANT JUST POINTED
OVER HERE. CRAP. UM...

[CLEARS THROAT]
GARRETT: 1, YOU HEARD
FROM MY QB1 TODAY?

JORDAN: WADE? UH, NOT
SINCE OUR QB MEETING AFTER
PRACTICE YESTERDAY, SIR.

SO YOU HEARD HE WAS
GONNA BE LATE TO PRACTICE?

BRYANT: UH, HEY,
AND THAT PROFESSOR'S
OFFICE HOURS,

THEY'RE CRAZY.
JORDAN: YEAH, COACH, UM...

YOU KNOW, I DON'T
REMEMBER WHAT IT
WAS FOR, BUT HE DID

MENTION HE WAS
WORRIED ABOUT
BEING LATE, SIR.

KENNY: FIRST TEAM NEEDS
A QB, COACH, UNLESS WE'RE
GONNA WAIT ON WADE.

12, YOU STEP IN
UNTIL WADE SHOWS.

1, YOU'RE WITH SECOND TEAM.
QUICK FEET, QUICK READS,

AND IF THE WIDEOUTS
START SLACKING,
YOU FIRE THAT BALL

LIKE A DAMN ROCKET
AND MAKE 'EM RESPECT YOU.

UNDERSTOOD?
JORDAN: YES, SIR.

JORDAN:
I KILLED IT, OK?

COACH'S WORDS.
YO, I CAN'T WAIT TO
TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.

[SIGHS]
I HATE THAT WE KEEP

MISSING EACH OTHER, THOUGH.
IT'S, UH, IT'S--

OH, MY GOD.
SIMONE, I HAVEN'T EVEN
TOLD YOU ABOUT VEGAS.

YO, WADE IS TAKING ME
ON A PRIVATE JET.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

I'LL--I'LL TELL YOU LATER.
UM, I LOVE YOU, BABE.

[PHONE BEEPS OFF]
ASHER: DUDE, SECOND-TEAM SNAPS

ALREADY, PRIVATE JETS
TO VEGAS? SHEESH!

- CHECK OUT THESE PICS
OF THE JET, BRO--
- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

SHOW ME LATER.
I GOTTA MEET UP
WITH JAYMEE.

- YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.
- COOL.

WHAT'S UP, SPENCE?

- HEY, WHAT UP, ASH?
- WOW, CAN YOU BELIEVE

THAT JORDAN'S GONNA
BE PARTYING WITH
WADE WATERS IN VEGAS?

SPENCER: YEAH,
IT'S PRETTY CRAZY.

ASHER:
INSANE. HEH HEH!

PEACE, GUYS.
SPENCER: ALL RIGHT, BOY.

IS THERE
A PROBLEM, SPENCE?

[BAG THUDS]
SPENCER: HOW ABOUT
YOU LYING FOR WADE?

COME ON, DUDE. I MEAN,
IT WASN'T EXACTLY A LIE.

I HEARD WADE TELL YOU
HE MIGHT BE LATE
FOR PRACTICE

'CAUSE OF THE
AUREATE CHARTER MEETING,
AND THEN YOU WENT

AND BACKED UP
SOME HALF-ASSED "MEETING
THE PROFESSOR" EXCUSE.

OK, AND I WOULD DO
THE SAME THING FOR YOU BECAUSE
I DON'T RAT OUT MY FRIENDS.

YOU THINK HE'S YOUR FRIEND
'CAUSE HE'S LETTING YOU
RIDE HIS N.I.L. COATTAILS?

WADE AIN'T PILING UP DEALS
FOR NOBODY BUT WADE.

AND WHO ARE YOU TRYING
TO SIGN N.I.L. DEALS FOR
IF NOT YOURSELF, HMM?

LITTLE HYPOCRITICAL,
DON'T YOU THINK?

- I'M NOT BLOWING OFF PRACTICE.
- AND YOU'RE NOT

A HEISMAN CANDIDATE,
EITHER. LOOK, THE TEAM

IS LUCKY
TO HAVE WADE, SPENCE.
HE IS AN ELITE TALENT.

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HIM
AS IF HE'S THE ONLY ONE
TO EVER QB A DAMN GAME.

YOU'VE DONE THE STUFF
HE'S DONE.

- AT THE HIGH-SCHOOL LEVEL!
- ALL I'M SAYING IS

IT'S THE SAME GAME.
THE FIELD IS STILL

A HUNDRED YARDS LONG,
WITH AN END ZONE

AT EITHER END,
AND WADE IS
A SELFISH ASS

WHETHER HE'S ON IT
OR OFF CHASING
HIS ENDORSEMENTS!

OH, MY GOD, BRO.
IT WAS ONE PRACTICE.

HE'S SUPPOSED
TO BE A LEADER!

WHEN WADE
BLOWS OFF PRACTICE,
IT HURTS THE TEAM,

OUR TEAM.

IT'S GONNA TAKE MORE
THAN A PLANE RIDE TO
BLIND ME TO THAT TRUTH.

IF ANYTHING, I WISH
I HAD HAVE SIGNED

SOME--SOME N.I.L.
DEALS WHEN I PLAYED.

YEAH. WHY DOES THAT
SURPRISE YOU?

WELL, BECAUSE YOU'RE
ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT
HOW NCAA ATHLETES

HAVE TOO MUCH
ON THEIR PLATE,
TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS.

- AND I STILL BELIEVE THAT.
- WELL, ISN'T N.I.L. JUST
ANOTHER DISTRACTION?

LOOK, DO I WISH THAT
COLLEGE PLAYERS WOULD

FOCUS ON SCHOOL
AND FOOTBALL?

YES, BUT THE TRUTH
OF THE MATTER IS

THE CASH IS THERE AND
IT IS A DISTRACTION.

I MEAN, I KNOW CASH
AND FAVORS HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN CHANGING HANDS,

BUT, I MEAN, WOULDN'T
MORE MONEY EQUAL
MORE DISTRACTIONS?

THE CATS
THAT I KNEW WHO TOOK
THE LUNCH MONEY--

OH, WE CALLED IT
"LUNCH MONEY" BECAUSE
THE MONEY WOULD COME

IN, LIKE, BROWN PAPER BAGS.
OLIVIA: SO IT WASN'T
EXACTLY A SECRET?

NO, NO, NO,
NOT THE PLAYERS,
BUT, I MEAN, IT'S NOT

LIKE THESE CATS WERE
PUSHING GOLD CAMAROS

OR GETTING STACKS
OF CASH; THEY
JUST WANTED TO

TAKE THEIR GIRL OUT
FOR A NICE DINNER
OR, YOU KNOW,

EAT SOMEWHERE OTHER
THAN THE COMMISSARY.

SO THE TOP PLAYERS
RAKE IN ALL THE CASH,

AND EVERYBODY ELSE
GETS A FEW BUCKS.

IT SOUNDS LIKE
NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED.

ALL RIGHT,
SO I KNEW THIS CAT,
WALLY. WALLY DIX.

HE ACCEPTED
A PLANE TICKET
SO HE COULD GO HOME

FOR A FUNERAL;
NCAA FOUND OUT,

AND THEY MADE HIM
INELIGIBLE.

INELIGIBLE.

THAT WASN'T JUSTICE.
THAT WAS A WASTED FUTURE.

- I GUESS I NEVER
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.
- YEAH.

WE GOOD?

YEAH. JUST THINKING
ABOUT SOMETHING

SPENCER SAID
ABOUT THE STORY, OR...

LACK OF STORY,
I SHOULD SAY.
I SHOULD HEAD OUT.

OK. YOU DON'T WANT
TO STAY AND WATCH
THE GAME?

NO, I'M GONNA WATCH IT
AT SLAUSON CAFEÉ. I MEAN,

YOU SHOULD COME
IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA
GO TO THE STADIUM.

NO, NO, NO. HEH HEH!
BE TOO INTENSE FOR ME.
I'LL STAY HERE.

UM, BABY GIRL,
IF YOU THINK YOU
HAVE A STORY,

THEN YOU HAVE A STORY.
LIKE, I BELIEVE THAT.

FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS.

- OK. THANKS, DAD.
- ALL RIGHT.

[DISTANT LAUGHTER AND CHATTER]

GARRETT: THANKS FOR
JOINING US TODAY, WADE.

HEY, SORRY ABOUT THAT,
COACH. I HAD A--

GARRETT: A CONFLICT.
YEAH, I KNOW.

GOT KICKOFF IN 20,
SO I'MMA MAKE THIS QUICK.

12's STARTING
AND 1's BACKUP.

- COACH, WHAT THE HELL?
- YOU MISS FRIDAY PRACTICE,

YOU SIT THE GAME.
THOSE ARE THE RULES.

COACH, YOU CAN'T BENCH ME.
I WAS DOING SCHOOLWORK.

GARRETT:
THIS IS MY TEAM.

MY RULES APPLY
TO EVERYONE.

THE NEXT TIME YOU SNEAK OFF
TO A SPONSORSHIP EVENT,

MAKE SURE THEY DON'T
TAKE PHOTOS.

ALL RIGHT, BABY.
SUIT UP. COME ON.
LET'S GO. SPENCE?

SPENCER: YO.
KENNY: HOW YOU FEELING?

SPENCER: READY TO GO.
WADE: AAH!

COME ON!

WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?

YOU EARNED YOUR SPOT
ON THE FIELD THIS WEEK.
WADE JUST LOST HIS.

YOU SHOW
COACH GARRETT THAT
YOU DESERVE IT,

ALL RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

KENNY: LET'S GO.
YOU DRAGGIN' ASS.
SUIT UP.

SO LAYLA, PATIENCE,

LIV, COOP.
PATIENCE: HEY.

ASHER: JAYMEE.
PATIENCE: NICE TO MEET YOU.

OLIVIA: HEH! WELL, I'M GLAD
ASHER BROUGHT YOU AROUND

BEFORE JJ RAN YOU OFF.
COOP: YEAH, THE SAME.
GOOD TO HAVE

A FRESH FACE TO HONE
MY MAGNETIC PERSONALITY.

ASHER: HEY, CHILL OUT.
LAYLA: OOH, WAIT.
WHAT ABOUT "FRESH FACE"?

PATIENCE: WHAT?
LAYLA: FOR YOUR ALBUM TITLE.

[SIGHS]
LAYLA, LOOK,

YOU HAVE BEEN
FOLLOWING ME AROUND
LIKE A SHADOW

IN THE HOUSE, AND I JUST--
CAN WE JUST NOT TALK ABOUT
MUSIC FOR A SECOND, PLEASE?

[QUIETLY]
YEAH.

JAYMEE: YOU TWO LIVE TOGETHER?
OLIVIA: UH,

WE ALL DO, YEAH.
UH, WE MOVED

INTO MY PARENTS' HOUSE
AFTER GRADUATION.

IT'S KINDA LIKE
OUR OWN VERSION
OF THE BEACH HOUSE.

NOBODY WANTED
TO BRANCH OUT?

STARTING TO
RECONSIDER THAT.
[SCOFFS]

HEY, Y'ALL. I HOPE Y'ALL
DON'T MIND IF I JOIN.

UH, LIV SAID IT WAS OK.
WHO ARE YOU? I'M COACH BAKER.

JAYMEE: JAYMEE,
ASHER'S GIRLFRIEND.
BILLY: OH, OK, OK.

GOOD TO SEE YOU.
JAYMEE: UH, DO YOU WANT
TO HAVE A SEAT?

WE HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM.
BILLY: NO, I'M GOOD STANDING.

UM, ACTUALLY,
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I WANT TO CHECK ON THE SOUND
BEFORE, UH, BEFORE KICKOFF.

LIV, IS HE OK?

I THINK WATCHING SPENCER
AND JORDAN INSTEAD OF
COACHING IS AN ADJUSTMENT.

JAYMEE:
OH, HE'S YOUR OLD
HEAD COACH, RIGHT?

YEAH, YEAH, AND JORDAN
AND OLIVIA'S DAD,

AND I GUESS
Y'ALL'S LANDLORD, TOO.

N.I.L., WITHOUT MY
HOT TAKE THIS TIME.

TO ME, THE N.I.L. CHANGES
AREN'T ABOUT MONEY SO MUCH

AS THEY'RE ABOUT THE POWER
THAT MONEY BRINGS.

- MMM.
- BY LETTING ATHLETES TAP
INTO THE VALUE THEY BRING

AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL,
IT EMPOWERS THEM TO MAKE
THEIR OWN DECISIONS

ABOUT WHAT TO DO
WITH THAT VALUE NOW
AND IN THE FUTURE.

- OK.
- IT'S NOT PERFECT.

BUT IT'S A START.
OLIVIA: OK.

I SEE THE UPSIDE.
IT WASN'T FAIR
FOR THOSE COLLEGES

TO PROFIT OFF OF
UNPAID LABOR, BUT

FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
IS RARELY SIMPLE.

I AGREE. THE RULE CHANGE
IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
OF THE STORY.

SO THE REAL STORY IS
WHAT THOSE PLAYERS DO
WITH THAT POWER.

EXACTLY. SOME WILL
MAKE GOOD CHOICES,

OTHERS BAD,
BUT ULTIMATELY,

THOSE DECISIONS WILL
BE THEIRS TO MAKE.
