Gamecocks fans can delete their 10,000 word thesis on why “Ether” was better than “Takeover.” Jay Z’s “contact” with their All-Everything-In-The-Solar-System defensive lineman, Jadeveon Clowney, was harmless.
In a handwritten press release, South Carolina athletic director, Steve Fink, said, “”Based on the facts that USC has gathered, Jadeveon Clowney has not had any impermissible conversations nor has he received any impermissible benefits.”
See? Nothing to stress here. One person who was never truly concerned was J.D.’s own coach, Steve Spurrier, who noted the future lottery pick is well aware of what’s allowed and what isn’t. And to be fair, the only reason this “meeting” is newsworthy in the first place is because of the parties involved. It’s not like players can’t speak with agents anyway.
Don’t be surprised if Jay shows up at a game or two, however. The seed’s already been planted.
