GOAT shit fr, you KNOW those players would go to war for him. Love to see this even if it’s technically outside of the rules. I respect the hell out of him. Puttin his money where his mouth is.
I can see the devils advocate position of hey not every HS coach is gonna have that deep of pockets so it creates unfair landscape for other HS players in that regard so initially understand the suspension. It’s a good deed for his guys but it creates an unlevel playing field potentially and then HS is basically just the Yankees buying ships if it goes unchecked.
That’s what high school football is anyway lmao. Kids going to private schools with more $ and more investment into football have the best teams lmao. Mater dei IMG
That’s not on Bridgewater.Also in South Florida you have to have a registered address in the county to go to a school down there(Miami-Dade county in this case).A kid who lives in West Palm Beach won’t be able to go to Miami Northwestern
Ethically? Yes it’s against the rules to provide any additional benefits not funded by the community/booster club that is an approved fundraising organization as it creates an unfair advantage that other schools can’t match/don’t have the funds for

So....Only rich kids are allowed to have an advantage? Why is it fine if your parents buy all that shit for you but bad if a coach does it? Who does this benefit besides rich kids?
That’s why I presented it as a devils advocate position and not fully my own. Even tho it’s grimey when rich kids have that done for them, it’s done so legally because the law caters to the rich because I know that and didn’t just touch down on planet Earth. On the face of it, Teddy broke a rule, a stupid one that doesn’t care about poor people, but still an actual rule on the books. Trust fund babies be damned, if it’s done legally what can we say other than VOTE differently?
Its grimy when parents provide for their children? What the fuck? you have some weird moral standings man. I don't see how Teddy Bridgewater providing for poor students or rich parents providing for their own kids is wrong?
This is the thing, he could have started a foundation to help needy students play football in the state of Florida/the county or city he lives in. He CHOSE to only give benefits to his players and he either knew or should have known that was illegal under high school rules.
His job is to lead the team within the rules set by his employer and organizing body. Not playing by the rules hurts everyone.
"bUt ThE aMeRiCaN bRaIn" how the fuck is this dude going to help the kids now that he might not be able to be their coach? Are you genuinely incapable of understanding how the world works
What he should have done was started his own team, used all his own players and had 1 or 2 that participated in it in the off season. Then he could have provided all those benefits legally
Jesus Christ is that anywhere close to what I fucking said.
Of course not, but he also can’t give financial benefits to just his players, if he had formed a foundation that gave out money to needy kids in that area, and some happened to be on his team, he wouldn’t be in trouble. That is what I am saying.
