Chapter 122 Quanquan is sincere
Clean, tidy, and the windows are bright and clean.
Everything is the same as the impression given by Shaban. The office is very organized. Behind the desk is a bookshelf, which is neatly and densely packed. From a distance, I thought it was books, but when I looked closer, I realized it was a game video.
There is a small bookshelf at the corner of the wall, which is also full. Volumes of dark blue folders are neatly placed. You can see the labels on the outside, starting from 2015, and going back along the years.
Shaban noticed Levi's gaze and glanced at it.
"That's the playbook from past years. Not just our own, but also those of other NCAA teams and some NFL teams."
"The football playbook is very important. NFL teams will keep it strictly confidential. The playbook for the new season will be updated every year to avoid opponents seeing through the tactics after players transfer. However, the playbook will not be released until five years later. , this is just a small part of my collection.”
Wow.
It was an eye-opener for Levi.
A smile appeared in Shaban's eyes and he indicated the position in front of him.
"sit."
Levi looked away and found that Burns had sat down next to him. If it weren't for the smile on his face, this formation would have been a bit grand.
Shaban said calmly.
"Don't worry, you did nothing wrong. We are not going to teach you today."
It is very rare that Shaban, who is usually serious about words, made a joke.
Levi sat down and breathed out exaggeratedly, "Then I'll be relieved."
Despite not returning a joke, the relaxed gesture lightened the mood.
Shaban's personality is not good at joking, so he stopped teasing at this time, "I came to see you today, and Coach Burns was also present. I just wanted to talk to you about your situation."
"We all know that your coming to the football team this season was an accident. Coach Burns almost kidnapped you into the team. You were unwilling..."
Levi laughed dumbly, "Coach..."
Shaban waved his hand, "There is no need to be embarrassed, this is the fact; but I don't regret it. In fact, I also want to thank Coach Burns and thank you for helping the team solve its urgent needs."
"Originally, we just wanted you to help with the transition, but now it seems that we have found a treasure."
Burns also rarely interrupted, "Levi, thank you, now the coach owes me a drink for Christmas."
Shaban nodded, "Okay, no problem. I guarantee you'll drink until your stomach explodes."
Burns looked content.
Shaban looked at Levi again, "I know that you have an agreement with the principal. I called you here today just to tell you that there is no need to wait for the season to end. We have informed the principal that you have successfully met the standards."
"The principal also informed us that all those lawsuits have been properly handled. The school and the injured student reached an out-of-court settlement and the lawsuit has been withdrawn."
Although I had expected it for a long time, I was relieved to actually get a definite result. There was no need to worry about that time bomb anymore.
Levi paused, "What about the agreement between Coach Burns and the principal?"
Shaban was stunned.
Burns also looked surprised, "How do you know?"
Levi shrugged lightly, "Coach, the principal is not a philanthropist."
Burns opened his mouth, but no words came out, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
There was also a flash of relief in Shaban's eyes, "Don't worry about Coach Burns, I, Nick Shaban, will have no problem keeping a Burns."
Inadvertently, this can reveal Shaban's absolute confidence in the NCAA. "However, the agreement between Coach Burns and the principal has been completed." Shaban said lightly, "And it has been far exceeded."
Burns and the principal agreed that at least seven games in the season could be broadcast live across the country, but now, without even waiting for the subsequent bowl games and national championship games, the Crimson Tide Storm has already reached the standard ahead of schedule——
This season, a total of nine of the Crimson Tide's twelve regular season games have been broadcast nationally; including the Southeastern Conference championship game, there are currently ten games broadcast nationally.
The University of Alabama once again became the strongest player in this year's college competition with an absolutely strong performance, easily dominating the entire NCAA in national live broadcasts.
Not only within the Southeastern Conference, even in the NCAA, the influence of the University of Alabama is undoubtedly at the top of the pyramid.
Burns also looked at Levi, showing a hint of pride, "Very relaxed."
Only then did Levi smile.
Shaban continued, "That's one thing, and there's another important thing."
Down to business, here we come——
This was something Levi didn't expect, but Levi didn't think too much. He straightened his back slightly and looked at Shaban, indicating that he was listening carefully.
There was a hint of appreciation in Shaban's eyes. Don't look at Levi as he is usually lazy and casual and likes to joke, but when it comes to serious matters, he is never careless.
Strictly speaking, it’s not just about not being sloppy. In Shaban’s view, Levi is the smartest one in the Crimson Tide. This season, because of Levi’s presence, the team’s tactical training has become much easier and smoother. Even Allen, The captains of Foster's teams were also convinced of Levi.
This is also a key to the transformation of the Crimson Tide's game temperament this season.
Shaban signaled Levi to relax, and instead of talking about it, he got to the point directly.
"We know that your switch to rugby was purely an accident. Before that, you didn't know anything about rugby and you didn't know what it was like."
"But after six months of observation, Coach Burns and I both believe that you are very suitable for rugby and that you can reach heights in this sport that are difficult for others to achieve."
"Our Crimson Tide Storm has always been the focus of attention. Not only the NCAA, but also the professional leagues have already noticed you. I believe an agent should have contacted you."
Burns curiously interjected, "No team has contacted you yet, right?"
Levi shook his head.
Shaban was not surprised, "The team doesn't need to be anxious. The Jackson Jaguars release smoke bombs there every week. They think they are smart and think they can hide it. But everyone has already guessed that they are probably targeting you."
Burns burst into laughter, "They only have a little calculation. However, the Jackson Jaguars are also a good choice. Although the team's performance may not be very good, at least they are willing to value you, and you will get More room to play, and the salary should be good.”
Burns has already begun to worry about the future before he has even written his horoscope.
Shaban called, "Burton."
Burns immediately realized that he was worrying too much and gave Levi a comforting smile.
Shaban continued, "Coach Burns is saying you can turn pro now if you want to."
In order to change the topic, Burns quickly said, "I called you here today just to ask about your intentions. Are you ready to continue playing rugby? Do you have any intention to turn professional?"
Shaban glanced at Burns and said, "Since we are the ones who pulled you on this ship, there is not much we can do, but at least we should show a little sense of responsibility."
Burns was a little shy. He scratched his head and looked at Shaban, "Coach, I just think that when you see a good seedling, you can't miss it easily."
Shaban smiled slightly and said, "The person involved is here, and you are still talking nonsense."
Burns looked at Levi and laughed "hehe" twice, which made Levi unable to hold back and made a joke, "Coach, I can testify that Coach Burns did not kidnap me, at least not with a knife." Put it on my neck."
The first update today.
