I want you to go out there

as politely as possible,
and let me handle it.

00:01:58,151 --> 00:01:59,983
I feel like I've heard
this before, Unc.

00:02:00,087 --> 00:02:03,023
This does not feel
fucking handled.

38
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,068

I should have just gone and
did what they wanted me to.

You don't owe them
a fucking thing, okay?

Charles, get out of my office.

64
00:03:15,562 --> 00:03:18,691
So, before the meeting,
the kids were feeling a little...

65
00:03:18,765 --> 00:03:20,825
I don't know,
peckish? (CHUCKLES)

66
00:03:21,401 --> 00:03:23,996
So stupidly, I pulled
over at a taco truck,

67
00:03:24,071 --> 00:03:27,007
which was really,
like, peddling leftovers

68
00:03:27,074 --> 00:03:28,406
out of the back of a Nissan...

69
00:03:28,508 --> 00:03:29,788
Let me save you the energy, Joe.

70
00:03:29,843 --> 00:03:31,402
It's a soft pass,

71
00:03:31,511 --> 00:03:33,377
but not for the reason
you might think.

72
00:03:33,447 --> 00:03:36,849
- Oh, come on, Yanni.
- It was a decently clever stunt, Joe,

73
00:03:36,917 --> 00:03:39,757
but, come on, you think I'm shocked
to see dumb kids act like dumb kids?

74
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:41,931
- Come on. Let me talk to them...
- They're cool, man,

75
00:03:41,955 --> 00:03:43,700
but they're an amusement,
they're not a brand.

76
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:46,421
Maybe in a couple of years,
they'll hone in on their thing,

77
00:03:46,526 --> 00:03:49,621
but for now, they're just
a disposable Insta-story.

78
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:51,358
No, no. You're wrong, Yanni.

79
00:03:51,431 --> 00:03:54,424
With all due respect, you're wrong.
These kids have something special.

80
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,400
- (SCOFFS)
- They have an authentic edge,

81
00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:59,634
for real, that other companies
are gonna shell out big for.

82
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,108
Okay, then prove me wrong,
Joe. Make me the dummy.

83
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:04,303
(CHUCKLES) No.

84
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:06,209
I'm not gonna make
you the dummy, Yanni.

85
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:07,770
I'm gonna make you rich.

86
00:04:08,615 --> 00:04:10,481
Julian, everything
is under control.

87
00:04:10,584 --> 00:04:12,485
- JULIAN: <i>This is under control?
- Yes, it is.</i>

88
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:15,055
I'm strolling through my
house hooked up to an IV,

89
00:04:15,122 --> 00:04:17,318
and my sutures
are starting to itch.

90
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,484
- Everything's under control?
- It will be.

91
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:20,713
This is just a minor glitch.

92
00:04:20,761 --> 00:04:22,389
You said that everything
was worked out,

93
00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:23,725
that the kid was in the bag.

94
00:04:23,797 --> 00:04:26,926
He was until Ohio State started
acting like a bunch of bitches.

95
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,440
It's okay, they
don't have anything.

96
00:04:28,502 --> 00:04:30,971
This is the NCAA, Spencer,
it's not a court of law.

97
00:04:31,071 --> 00:04:32,801
They can do anything
they fucking want.

98
00:04:32,906 --> 00:04:36,138
And if they think you're sticking
your shiny bullet head up their ass,

99
00:04:36,243 --> 00:04:38,269
<i>- they're gonna come down hard.</i>
- So let 'em.

100
00:04:38,345 --> 00:04:41,281
<i>Do I have to remind you how
much I sank into these rights</i>

101
00:04:41,348 --> 00:04:42,577
thanks to your sure thing?

102
00:04:42,649 --> 00:04:44,948
You assured me that
it was totally kosher.

103
00:04:45,018 --> 00:04:46,577
There's nothing
illegal about our buy.

104
00:04:46,653 --> 00:04:48,747
Plus, they'd have to
stretch to link the kid.

105
00:04:48,822 --> 00:04:51,485
<i>Wait, link the
kid? Link the kid?</i>

106
00:04:51,591 --> 00:04:53,753
Are you telling me
that he's involved?

107
00:04:53,827 --> 00:04:56,524
Do not fucking tell
me that he's involved.

108
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:58,121
<i>No, of course not.</i>

109
00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:00,433
All right, listen to me.

110
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:04,096
USC is threatening to pull
out of this deal, Spencer.

111
00:05:04,171 --> 00:05:05,833
<i>And if I was not in danger</i>

112
00:05:05,939 --> 00:05:08,534
of losing an obscene
amount of money...

113
00:05:08,642 --> 00:05:11,271
And I loathe losing
money, do you hear me?

114
00:05:11,344 --> 00:05:14,837
I loathe it, I would just
as soon lose a testicle...

115
00:05:14,948 --> 00:05:16,644
I would beat them to the punch.

116
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:19,276
Now get your shit together.

117
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:22,550
I just landed in Indy. I'm
handling it as we speak.

118
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:25,558
I hope so, because you'd
hate how I'd handle it.

119
00:05:26,993 --> 00:05:28,393
Morphine!

120
00:05:30,530 --> 00:05:32,795
I hope Jason was gentle
with y'all on that deal.

121
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:36,529
"Gentle" isn't exactly the
word I'd use to describe him,

122
00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:38,195
but you know how he does.

123
00:05:39,239 --> 00:05:42,368
(SIGHS) California!
Nothing like it.

124
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:46,173
But what are we doing out here?

125
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,514
Checking out your fly view?

126
00:05:54,421 --> 00:05:56,356
You know, my mom,

127
00:05:57,224 --> 00:06:00,194
she used to put trash
bags on the windows

128
00:06:01,595 --> 00:06:03,359
so the landlord wouldn't
know we were there.

129
00:06:04,831 --> 00:06:06,561
Used to get hot
as hell in there, too.

130
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:09,602
In the summertime,
it was boiling.

131
00:06:10,837 --> 00:06:12,328
I remember the smell.

132
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:16,333
Kinda like cooking plastic?

133
00:06:17,777 --> 00:06:20,542
I thought that shit was
normal for the longest time.

134
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:23,710
For what it's worth,

135
00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:25,775
I didn't know that cereal
wasn't a dinner food

136
00:06:25,886 --> 00:06:27,354
until about high school.

137
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:33,386
Look at all this, Chuck.

138
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,126
Look at what you got.

139
00:06:35,962 --> 00:06:38,090
What we earned. And
we earned that shit, Chuck.

140
00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:43,695
People out there hating
on us speaking out.

141
00:06:44,604 --> 00:06:48,268
Like we should be grateful
that we making millions.

142
00:06:49,242 --> 00:06:51,734
(CHUCKLES) Like we ain't?

143
00:06:54,481 --> 00:06:56,425
Like they don't complain
about their lives or jobs.

144
00:06:56,449 --> 00:06:58,782
Bullshit. And we can't
complain about injustice?

145
00:06:59,986 --> 00:07:01,579
And these same people...

146
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:05,154
Acting like they
just gave us this shit.

147
00:07:06,626 --> 00:07:10,654
Like my dreams, life, house,
were just given to my black ass.

148
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:14,098
And my talent, my hard
fucking work and savvy,

149
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:15,635
ain't have shit to do with it.

150
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:19,231
- That shit ain't right.
- No, it ain't right.

151
00:07:19,306 --> 00:07:21,275
But this tweet, Rick.

152
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:24,673
Man, you really got
people riled up this time.

153
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:27,680
I'm getting pressure from my
higher-ups to make some kind of...

154
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:29,701
Chuck, that tweet wasn't
even about white people.

155
00:07:29,749 --> 00:07:32,309
It was about my neighbors,
it's their names. The Whites.

156
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,788
(SIGHS)

157
00:07:34,854 --> 00:07:36,232
I'm gonna straighten
that out, though,

158
00:07:36,256 --> 00:07:38,157
'cause they cool as
hell, lovely people. Really.

159
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:39,851
But more importantly,

160
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,971
I want to have the freedom
to say what I want to say, man.

161
00:07:41,995 --> 00:07:44,362
Not just for me, but
for our children, man.

162
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:45,625
For our kids.

163
00:07:46,633 --> 00:07:50,001
I wanna play for a team that
ain't gonna try to muzzle me.

164
00:07:50,704 --> 00:07:53,697
Well, you can do that, you
just gotta finesse it in a way...

165
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:54,917
Where the white folks approve.

166
00:07:54,941 --> 00:07:56,637
No, that your bosses
approve of, fool.

167
00:07:56,710 --> 00:07:58,702
- Right.
- Regardless of their color.

168
00:07:59,212 --> 00:08:01,424
Look, man, everybody out here
just trying to get his paper, right?

169
00:08:01,448 --> 00:08:02,780
Everybody's about the green?

170
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:05,046
Come on, man.
Don't try me like that.

171
00:08:05,151 --> 00:08:06,751
I don't believe that,
and neither do you.

172
00:08:08,788 --> 00:08:10,051
Look...

173
00:08:11,524 --> 00:08:13,789
Do what you gotta do,
man. I understand, yo.

174
00:08:15,628 --> 00:08:17,563
Fine me, whatever. I get it.

175
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:21,032
But know that when
you're looking at your life

176
00:08:21,134 --> 00:08:24,332
and the man you want to
be, ask yourself the question...

177
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:29,135
What are we doing out here?

178
00:08:34,881 --> 00:08:37,646
(HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING)

179
00:08:51,564 --> 00:08:52,827
RECEPTIONIST: Mr. Strasmore.

180
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,698
They're ready for you.

181
00:08:55,602 --> 00:08:56,900
I don't think they are.

182
00:09:01,441 --> 00:09:05,776
Mr. Strasmore, we can do
some small talk off the top here,

183
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,576
keep it polite, if that would
make you feel more comfortable.

184
00:09:08,681 --> 00:09:10,013
No, Robert, it's okay.

185
00:09:10,083 --> 00:09:11,694
That would be out of my
league, 'cause you guys

186
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:14,558
have become very rich men by saying
a bunch of shit that you don't mean.

187
00:09:14,954 --> 00:09:16,794
So, why don't we just
get the show on the road.

188
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:19,723
What's your relationship
with Quincy Crawford?

189
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:23,026
- How do you mean?
- Your relationship to him is what?

190
00:09:24,030 --> 00:09:25,670
You want us to arrange
it a few more ways?

191
00:09:25,732 --> 00:09:28,793
It'll mean the same thing,
Spencer, so answer the question.

192
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:31,963
Quincy's mother and I are
pursuing a romantic relationship,

193
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:34,041
so I guess that would
make me a family friend.

194
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:36,406
- With benefits.
- Yeah, sure, if you want to

195
00:09:36,476 --> 00:09:37,887
think about it like
a teenager would.

196
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:39,470
Yeah, friend with benefits.

197
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:43,311
And how do these benefits
extend to the young Mr. Crawford?

198
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:46,716
Well, Q, from time to time,
will ask me for my advice,

199
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:50,553
and it's advice that I feel I am
uniquely qualified to offer him.

200
00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:52,922
- What's the nature of this "advice"?
- Specifically,

201
00:09:52,992 --> 00:09:56,451
it's just to make sure that he
is not exploited and fucked over

202
00:09:56,563 --> 00:09:58,974
by a bunch of rich white guys
who don't give a shit about him.

203
00:09:58,998 --> 00:10:00,261
Ooh.

204
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:02,495
You really want to play
the race card, Spencer?

205
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:03,968
Yeah, why not, Robert?

206
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:06,248
Because I find it really
interesting that the only pro sports

207
00:10:06,272 --> 00:10:09,140
that require these athletes
to pass through your clutches

208
00:10:09,242 --> 00:10:12,076
are the ones that are mostly made
up of kids of color to begin with.

209
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:14,441
You mean football
and basketball.

210
00:10:14,514 --> 00:10:17,245
No, I'm talking about curling
and fucking badminton.

211
00:10:17,350 --> 00:10:18,648
(CHUCKLES)

212
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:20,743
That's a lot of
righteous rage, Spencer.

213
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,086
Yeah, it is.

214
00:10:23,156 --> 00:10:27,651
Does this moral outrage of yours
extend to television network deals?

215
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,821
Taking recruiting visits
with high school students?

216
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,570
Aren't you a registered
financial manager?

217
00:10:32,599 --> 00:10:34,510
We understand your good
pals, the Anderson brothers,

218
00:10:34,534 --> 00:10:37,766
have just secured the
USC broadcasting rights,

219
00:10:37,837 --> 00:10:41,296
and in addition to committing
a number of NCAA violations,

220
00:10:41,374 --> 00:10:43,969
I'm sure you've
broken some NFL rules.

221
00:10:44,043 --> 00:10:46,444
God only knows what
you tell your client.

222
00:10:46,513 --> 00:10:48,824
- Quincy is not my client.
- Is that what you tell yourself?

223
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:51,026
Okay, you know what, I'm gonna
stop you right there, Robert, okay?

224
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:52,541
This is a corrupt organization

225
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:54,252
that has been rotting
from the inside out

226
00:10:54,287 --> 00:10:55,778
for decades now,
and you know it.

227
00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:57,824
And the public is finally
beginning to catch up,

228
00:10:57,891 --> 00:10:59,484
but they don't even
know half the truth

229
00:10:59,859 --> 00:11:00,986
about how you guys chew up

230
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,620
thousands and thousands
of kids every single year

231
00:11:03,696 --> 00:11:05,164
under the promise
of an education,

232
00:11:05,231 --> 00:11:07,700
then you squeeze out every
bit of value that they have

233
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,200
before you pass
'em on to the pros.

234
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:11,636
Or you just discard them
as if they got no value at all.

235
00:11:11,704 --> 00:11:12,967
And God forbid they get hurt.

236
00:11:13,806 --> 00:11:15,035
You know how I know this?

237
00:11:15,842 --> 00:11:18,209
Because I saw it,
and because I lived it.

238
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:20,739
Robert, look at me.

239
00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:22,558
I know where all the
dead bodies are buried.

240
00:11:22,582 --> 00:11:24,847
Unless you want me digging
them up and dragging them

241

242
00:11:27,153 --> 00:11:28,273
here's what you're gonna do.

243
00:11:28,354 --> 00:11:30,050
You're gonna stay
the fuck away from me

244
00:11:30,156 --> 00:11:31,488

motherfuckers something else.

The next time that you
bring me to this shithole,

247
00:11:35,595 --> 00:11:37,564
it better be to offer me
a deal and a huge check,

my valuable fucking time!

<i>(I'M CLOSING MYEYES</i> PLAYING)

506
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:28,692
(WHISTLE BLOWS)

507
00:24:44,383 --> 00:24:45,703
Oh, you want some
work, old-head?

508
00:24:46,185 --> 00:24:48,120
I'm not here to test
your manhood, Q.

509
00:24:49,355 --> 00:24:50,721
I'm just here to
apologize to you.

510
00:24:52,324 --> 00:24:54,054
Man, fuck your apology.

511
00:24:55,227 --> 00:24:56,490
I trusted you.

512
00:24:56,929 --> 00:24:59,057
My mother trusted you.

513
00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:01,894
I can't even play for a fucking
community college now.

514
00:25:02,735 --> 00:25:04,363
It's not only about you, Q.

515
00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:07,101
You said you would handle it.

516
00:25:07,206 --> 00:25:08,286
Then I hear from Ohio State

517
00:25:08,374 --> 00:25:10,085
that you're in there
swinging your dick around.

518
00:25:10,109 --> 00:25:12,078
- How was that handling it?
- It's not.

519
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:15,113
Yeah, no shit. This
whole thing was about you.

520
00:25:15,214 --> 00:25:16,944
It's not. It's about my brother.

521
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:18,994
I don't want to hear about
your brother, man. I'm walking.

522
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:20,384
Took his own life, Q.

523
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:26,501
Junior year, he tore up his shoulder
in practice, he was never the same.

524
00:25:26,525 --> 00:25:28,403
He couldn't play that year,
they didn't give him back

525
00:25:28,427 --> 00:25:29,861
his year of eligibility.

526
00:25:31,597 --> 00:25:33,395
He just spiraled out of control.

527
00:25:33,465 --> 00:25:35,058
I could never get
him back in the boat.

528
00:25:35,467 --> 00:25:39,871
If that's true, that's some sad
shit, but it has nothing to do with me.

529
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,566
And it doesn't explain
your shitty behavior.

530
00:25:43,642 --> 00:25:45,110
No, it doesn't.

531
00:25:45,711 --> 00:25:47,111
It doesn't.

532
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,382
But I want you to know I never forgave
the NCAA for how they treated him,

533
00:25:51,450 --> 00:25:52,941
how they left him
out on his own.

534
00:25:53,952 --> 00:25:55,318
And it blinded me.

535
00:25:57,089 --> 00:25:58,614
And I'm sorry.

536
00:25:58,991 --> 00:26:01,426
I came here to tell you
face to face, man to man...

537
00:26:03,295 --> 00:26:05,730
- That I fucked up.
- Yeah, you fucked up.

538
00:26:06,298 --> 00:26:08,426
And as much as it
kills me to say this...

539
00:26:09,835 --> 00:26:11,667
I'm gonna leave you
and your mother alone.

540
00:26:22,114 --> 00:26:23,446
We almost had 'em, though.

541
00:26:24,616 --> 00:26:25,640
Huh, Unc?

542
00:26:31,256 --> 00:26:32,588
Almost.

543
00:26:34,793 --> 00:26:37,422
Pritchard says there's still a
chance for me at Ohio State.

544
00:26:41,834 --> 00:26:43,427
Hey...

545
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:45,938
You're gonna kill it there, kid.

546
00:26:48,707 --> 00:26:50,005
What about you?

547
00:26:51,043 --> 00:26:53,478
The network, your
bosses and shit.

548
00:26:55,948 --> 00:26:57,541
Fuck it all.

549
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:03,486
(SIGHS) I'm gonna
take the NCAA down.

550
00:27:05,157 --> 00:27:06,819
Brick by brick.
