“I think it’s stupid,” Sanders said.
“I expect the NCAA to do something about it.”
“I am confident that these students are not thinking about insurance now and at this point in their lives.
We talked about NIL and how they manage their finances.
“We gave them financial planners and resources, but we left out the insurance part and didn’t educate them about it.”
“We know that children will be open about stolen items, and so will some of our staff. And all of those things need to be replaced,” Sanders said.
“This is a bowl of roses.
People called him “everyone’s grandfather”. Yes?
I’m sure my grandfather had money.
It must have been grandfather’s money to give birth to these children.
“I will take stock of these young people and I know they will be honest about what they have lost, so we will try to get them back.
They might not get stuff, but they should be able to make it up.
Was awesome. But I heard the home team (UCLA) got robbed too.”
“I hope we can do something about the NCAA.
For everything else, you have to take action. Do something about it,” Sanders said.
