Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 2 Fair Deal
Burns looked at Levi with clear eyes: He didn't understand, he just didn't understand. Obviously, Levi knew nothing about football.

So, how should he explain it?

Burns had scared Levi away once before, and he must not repeat the same mistake this time.

absolute!

Thinking of this, Burns slammed on the brakes and smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, as if looking at a lost lamb. He smiled and said, "No, running backs are offensive players. We are a little different from football."

As he spoke, Burns pinched his index finger and thumb to compress the space, his whole face exerting force, trying his best to show the slightness of the gap.

"But, believe me, it's not difficult. It's really not difficult."

His hands were waving quickly like Dumbo.

"I really believe that you can shine on the court. You should trust my vision. You are a genius."

You can tell at first glance that Burns is an honest man. He doesn't even know how to flatter others. He just keeps repeating the same few words over and over again. It is obvious that his ability to deceive people is not up to par.

But Levi remained silent and did not rush to express his views and opinions. He just waited and saw what was happening. Then, the office door on the right opened.

"Coach Burns."

Turning around, I saw a kind old man with gray hair and a gentle face appear. His face was full of rosy glow, revealing the temperament of an academic professor of science and engineering. He looked capable and handsome.

This person should be the new president Stuart-Bell who took office just last July. According to the information on the school's official website, he is 1986 years old this year and joined the University of Alabama as early as .

Bell looked energetic, and those wrinkles could not hide the brightness of his eyes. After greeting Burns, he turned around and saw Levi.

"So, this person should be... Li?"

Unlike Burns, Bell lacked research on Levi's name, but he chose the safe way and directly called him by his easy-to-pronounce last name.

Levi stood up politely and was about to shake hands.

As a result, Bell's eyes slowly moved up along with Levi's standing posture:
In the previous second, he was a good student who studied hard and made progress every day. His future career development direction should be professor or anchor; in the next second, it was like the Hulk transforming. The oppressive feeling brought by his entire body skeleton came over him layer by layer. Before Levi could open his mouth, Bell exclaimed.

"Wow, now I understand why Coach Burns raves about you."

Then, the two men shook hands and exchanged a few simple greetings. Bell once again felt Levi's large palm, which allowed him to hold the football with one hand. He turned to look at Burns.

Burns understood without saying anything and shrugged lightly, "I told you, he's a good candidate."

Bell didn't say anything more. He made an inviting gesture, walked straight into the office, walked to his desk, and motioned Levi and Burns to sit down.

Bell himself sat down, "Let's get straight to the point."

"Lee, I've checked your grades. You are an excellent student. The University of Alabama is very fortunate to have an outstanding student like you. What happened in the library was purely an accident. The school should thank you for your bravery. No one wants to see the current situation."

“I’m more than happy to lend a hand on behalf of the school.”

"but."

The previous part is all nonsense, and the follow-up is the key point.

"We are a public school and obviously cannot spend as lavishly as private schools. We also have our own difficulties and issues that we need to deal with."

"So, Coach Burns made a proposal that if you can play for the school football team, then the school will take care of all the problems for you, including the lawsuit and potential compensation and so on."

"how do you feel?"

In fact, when we understand it from the perspective of scholarship, the whole situation becomes much simpler——

There is no reward without effort, this is a fair deal. But Levi is not a child, he knows that there must be more conditions than this, as Bell said, the funding management of public universities is not that simple.

Levi didn't rush to agree, "I think it should be more than just joining the team, right?"

Bell's smile fully blossomed, with a look of admiration in his eyes, "You are indeed a straight-A student. Our journalism department should be grateful to have you."

"Of course, to join the team, we need to evaluate your performance. Whether you are hardworking in training, whether you give your all in the game, etc. Coach Burns will judge your performance, and you need to meet the standards."

“Another season requires playing at least seven games and getting certain performance statistics, and Coach Burns will also be responsible for grading.”

"If it doesn't meet the criteria, then we need to sit down and discuss the legal fees and potential damages again. What do you think?"

The demand does exist, but the real decision-making power lies with Burns.

Levi turned to look at Burns, and then thought about the system in his mind.

Although he had already made a judgment, Levi did not rush to jump to conclusions. Instead, he looked at Burns and said, "Coach, I really know nothing about football. Are you sure? I don't understand football, but at least I have watched football and basketball. An outsider who knows nothing can't just play in the NCAA."

Burns nodded gently -

Calm. Wise. Objective.

As expected of an excellent student, he is still able to analyze the situation in the face of difficulties and problems. For a professional player, this is a rare plus point.

In fact, ball sports often require basketball IQ; and rugby not only requires it, but it also occupies a very important position because rugby is famous for its tactical thinking. A team may have more than 20,000 tactics. It is not enough for the players to just memorize them, they also need to use them flexibly.

The more you understand, the more satisfied you will be.

Burns also looked at Levi.

"Of course, if you know nothing, it will take some time."

"If it is a position that requires a lot of skills, it does require a training foundation. An outsider who rushes into the game probably won't be able to do it. But in fact, the barriers to entry into rugby are not as exaggerated as one might imagine. Changing positions is common not only in college but also in the professional arena. The real key is tactical coordination."

Trying his best to downplay it, you can see that Burns has really tried his best to make things simple and emphasize as much as possible that rugby is really not difficult.

Really!

"It is no exaggeration to say that rugby is the sport that tests tactical cooperation the most among all team sports. Maybe in football or basketball games, you can see one person turning the tide and changing the game, but it is almost impossible in rugby."

"So, for a freshman like you, the challenge is running back, both in terms of technique and physical confrontation, you are fully prepared."

"The only thing you need to learn is tactics."

"I believe in your ability."

"Not only here, but also here."

In front, patted the heart.

Behind him, he pointed to the brain.

Burns seemed particularly excited, with bright light shining in his pea-sized eyes.
