He pretty much gave everyone else a giant FU too by, in essence, saying the rules don't apply to him.
It was a blatant disregard.
He's saying, "I'm so important that you (NCAA) can't afford to make me play by the rules. I bring in too much $$$."
T A&M has a lot of pull in this situation as well. They are a wealthy school. They have a $7B endowment. An endowment that size is funded by people who are used to getting their own way. And those people want to see Johnny Football on Saturdays.
I think he is a self-entitled prick, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
It might wind up opening the doors (or cash register drawers) for a lot of other players in the NCAA.
