091 Give you a ring
Robbins Miller gave Bill a little explanation of the precautions, and Mr. Ferrari himself used the experience of his previous life to draw an analogy to the current situation, and roughly guessed why this was the case.
Each class of sports students must have a member of the Student Council, and often this seat is rotated between the football team and the basketball team each year.
Because the red and white teams are strong and popular in the school, ordinary rugby players can be elected as long as they participate in the election for various positions in the student council, and ordinary students cannot compete at all.
This leads to another problem, if the first class of varsity players are enthusiastic about the student union, then the ordinary students have no chance, and the next few school team members are addicted to training and playing, and the most popular red and white team does not participate in the student government's subordinate organizations.
In order to ensure balance, there is this conventional practice, and the red and white team appoints a person to represent the school team in the student council and student government.
In the past, it was usually the third quarterback or freshman running back who had not yet become the core of the team to get this spot, but this year, I don't know why, let Beal pick up the leak.
"Can I understand that I was in the limelight in last Saturday's game and that's why I was there?" He asked tentatively.
Robbins waved his hand, "Whatever you think, anyway, go to the event in the future, don't hit the students over there." It's just to beat people, at most with a slap, not with a fist, and they will elect ...... this Friday night."
Bill listened to his instructions and left, and although the sweat was drying off, it was quite interesting. He decided to mix in this student government for more than two years, and if the mixed position is high, he can also write it on his resume, and he can get a lot of prestige bonuses in the activities of alumni in the future.
……
Before Friday's election, two people came to the Stanford University football arena on Wednesday night to visit Eighty-Eight.
"We thought we could have a more in-depth conversation with you, let's say a verbal agreement to sign a contract in your junior year."
In the office of Yevgeny, the assistant coach of the Red and White team's offensive line, John, an assistant coach from the 49ers, proposed to Mr. Ferrari.
In the afternoon, Bill learned of the strange visit in advance and urgently searched for information about the San Francisco 49ers.
It is a young team founded in 1944 and is currently part of the NFL's League of Nations division. Head coach Bill Vichy is the former head coach of the Stanford Red and White team, and is also the current NFL popular passing coach, led by his wide receiver wide receiver to impact the opponent, by a large number of short and long pass combinations of tactics are currently swept by the NFL, by the media program respected as the "West Coast offensive".
Overall, after the restructuring in '78, the quarterbacks were given more tactical time to react, so the 49ers began to focus on passing offense, and used it successfully to achieve good results on the court.
"Am I worth it for you to come here so early to sign someone? It's not a year and a half before I can get into the professional team. Bill asked, confused.
Jim, another assistant coach for the 49ers, explained: "Our team manager and head coach both think your style fits the team's short-pass, long-pass tactics, and in fact, we've looked into your performance in the Southern New York County High School League, and your ability to catch the ball is better than your ability to open the way as a close end. ”
He should be telling the truth, judging from the current public information, the current 49-man team pays great attention to passing offense, and as long as it is a legal receiver, it requires a strong ability to receive the ball.
One of the reasons Beal was so strong in the '80 season was that the opponent was too vegetable, and the defenders of the opposing defense could barely push the number 88, and they were brought down when they met Beal, so that they could adjust their position to receive the ball accurately.
After arriving at the university team, Mr. Ferrari did not have such a big advantage, at least in terms of thrust, there were many strong defenders who could compete with him. In the daily practice of the Red and White team, Beal is responsible for receiving the ball and opening the way for runners and wide receivers.
John added, "What we mean is that if Mr. Ferrari wants to, we can just make a verbal agreement to sign us as a free agent when you enter your junior year. Once this agreement is made, you will spend the next year and a half working on improving your upper body strength while focusing on strengthening your receiving skills. ”
The owner of the office, Yevgeny, also persuaded: "Bill, this is a very good suggestion, the 49ers have the strength to enter the Super Bowl this year, and it is not impossible to get the ring." ”
The winner of the Super Bowl will be rewarded with a cast ring, and the champion team can get three to five hundred Super Bowl rings of that year, each of which the league provides a cost of five thousand dollars, and the rest is paid for by the team itself, so it can be done very luxuriously. Some championship quarterbacks can get white gold rings set with more than 200 diamonds, which can be auctioned for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Maybe Mr. Ferrari wants to talk about salaries." Jim and his companion looked at each other, then extended his right hand to Bill, "Unlike other teams, we pay wide receivers in a broad sense, and you get that number in the first year......"
Five fingers, naturally, represent 500,000 US dollars, according to the market, in the near end position, this salary is very high.
In the 80s, the NFL had not yet implemented a salary cap system linked to the league's income, and the contract salary of players had not been as expensive as it had been played, and the contract of free agents was more unpretentious, generally directly setting the number of years, the annual salary per year, as well as basic benefits such as training bonuses, squad bonuses, and incentive awards, and then the contract was signed according to the situation.
As for the injury guarantee, for the subdivision of the level of competition, the players of the entire league cannot get a good contract, what terms are the mainstream contracts, what terms ordinary players get, there is no room for negotiation at all.
However, salary or something is secondary, Bill wants more prestige and fame, and a championship team and a team that is about to go bankrupt are two different things, and it will also have a great impact on the future career.
"Personally, I don't really value money, and salary is secondary." Bill casually rambled a reason, "I just want to be on the Super Bowl championship team and add the perfect finishing touch to my career." If you can get a Super Bowl ring this season, I'm going to work for the close end that you want. ”
According to the arrangement of Evgeny and Hawke, the current Bill is developing according to the all-rounder, doing everything, and even the speed is slowly improving. This has given Bill more options in terms of his responsibilities, but each of them has not been able to tap into its potential.
If, as suggested by the 49ers, Mr. Ferrari mainly practiced bench press and passing, and did not regress in terms of speed, this is another way of thinking.
John smiled, "What we need is this kind of player who has a quest on the griddle." There are still more than two months to go, waiting for our good news. If we win the championship and Mr. Ferrari makes an agreement with us, then we will give you a ring. ”
"It's just a regular version, the one with a lot of diamonds that only the players in the squad have." Jim added.
Each champion team can mint three to five hundred pieces, in addition to the official players and coaching staff, the team staff will have a regular version, and the rest can also be given to the relevant personnel of the team.
"No problem, I'm waiting for your ring."
This strange meeting ended there, and before John and Jim left, they suggested that Bill could now work up in the direction they said they would, and it seemed that the 49ers were very confident of winning the Super Bowl.
After two days of uneventful classes, the election came as scheduled.
In an auditorium of the Student Affairs Center, there were all relevant people from the Department of Culture and Sports and the Student Government, and there were 40 or 50 people in sight.
The Department of Culture, Art and Sports is the most important institution in the student government, mainly responsible for planning cultural exhibitions, organizing club art performances, and organizing student support for various school teams.
The benefits of the varsity football team began to show, and although Bill did not even participate in the freshman selection for the first semester to enter the sports department, no one questioned why he was able to attend this internal meeting of the student government, and many people even ran over to greet Bill, who was sitting in the second row.
"Hello, Mr. Eighty-Eight! Your catch last weekend was so exciting to watch that we almost lost the Red Axe. ”
"You guys on the varsity football team are so busy, you don't usually see anyone, and it's hard to make friends with you."
"I heard that Bill is the best high school athlete in New York City, I want to ask if you have been so good since you were a child?"
In the face of the praise, Mr. Ferrari accepted it calmly, and even exaggerated the legend of his high school, such as he was confessed by the girls in the whole school in turn.
Because of his handsome face, no one questioned Bill's words.
The next ceremony was quite simple, the former president of the junior college stood behind the podium with a microphone and delivered a speech, which roughly means that after more than a month of running-in, the students of the Department of Culture and Sports are also familiar with each other, and the juniors should give up more space for the freshmen and sophomores to show and exercise their abilities.
The president of the student government then stated that he would supervise the general elections as is customary in order to ensure that the process was democratic and fair.
After the previous preparatory ceremonies, the students who signed up for the election began to give campaign speeches one by one.
Maybe because Bill's quota is fixed, he was actually the first person to take the stage. These kinds of elections are boring, and often the first few people on the stage leave more memories for the voters, and Mr. Ferrari takes advantage.
"My story originated on the far East Coast, growing up on the streets of New York City, and from a young age, I loved to learn and show off my toned body on the court......"
The focus of the campaign speech should be to show his excellent organizational and coordination skills, but Beal first praised his high school performance, which led to an early offer from the red and white, and he has been active since joining the varsity team, including playing in last week's San Francisco derby.
It wasn't until then that he mentioned his ability, but it didn't matter anymore, and the applause from behind Bill when he said he had won the 80's New York City High School Athlete of the Year could not be suppressed, and when he talked about his performance on Derby Day, the audience erupted in cheers, as if the stage was a soldier returning from a triumphant return.
After stepping down, as he passed the president of the student union, Mr. Ferrari heard the words: "You deserve to be the best player, I will vote for you." ”
PS: The first update, ask for a recommended ticket for a monthly pass.
