In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 260
"A new era is coming. College athletes can get better treatment, and many universities can also form better lineups. Starting next year, the SEC will become the first among the five major leagues and will continue to do so. ." Roy Kramer's voice sounded extremely excited.

So, what is the price?

The SEC scored a comprehensive victory.As an indirect participant, he can also get some benefits and extend his tentacles to those young players.Universities have the ability to strengthen their lineups, and it seems that the only loser is the NCAA.

A complete victory in all aspects, in return, Roy Kramer did not even ask too much, and reached some kind of tacit understanding with Ethan... taking the initiative to help promote this year's Independence Bowl to be held as scheduled!

After hanging up the phone, the smile on Ethan's face suddenly disappeared, and a chill surged from behind.

Ethan originally believed that Roy Kramer assigned the principal to participate in the Independence Bowl to make it easier for him to join later.

But this year he didn't mention it at all.

If Roy just changed his plan midway, it would make sense, but if combined with several things that happened before, it would point to another possibility.

An extremely vicious and well-planned path to the top.

If things are really as he guessed...then he will not only lose his own interests.

Instead, he was forced to suspend his rugby career!

If there is any true ally around him now, after thinking about it, it is only the University of Alabama.

Ethan immediately went to drive to the home of Principal Roger Sorenson.

Half an hour later, Ethan met a reluctant Roger Sorensen. He hurriedly put on his nightgown, his hair was a little messy, and he looked like he had just climbed out of bed.

"You shouldn't have come over on your own initiative. Can't you talk on the phone if you have anything to say? This is my private time now." Roger scratched his head.

On the phone just now, Ethan insisted on meeting him in person without any delay, and it had to be tonight. Since Ethan had already come outside the house, Roger Sorensen had no choice but to agree to meet him.

"That's right, now is indeed your private time, not just now, every day will be your private time, and you will retire early, old man!" Ethan's face was tense, and he said something about the principal of his school. No respect at all.

"Hey, I have to warn you, don't think that you brought Alabama to a new level, but that Alabama made you a success. You should learn to be grateful, young man." Roger Sorenson was scolded by Ethan, Not happy at all.

"And at least some respect!" the principal muttered.

"Respect, yes, then we will communicate in a respectful manner, my dear principal."

"Speak slowly, don't worry young man." Sorensen called the maid at home and handed Ethan a cup of coffee.

"Do you still remember that someone deliberately caused trouble before the Independence Bowl was held last year? This almost made it impossible for the Independence Bowl to be held smoothly. Who do you think was behind the scenes?" Ethan asked.

"Of course it's the NCAA. Those people are eager for the Independence Bowl project to fail, otherwise other universities will be ready to take action. In fact, there are already signs of this." Roger Sorensen responded immediately.

This is certain.

"It's a big mistake. The real mastermind behind the scenes is precisely within the SEC. It is precisely the staunch ally who is driving all this behind the scenes."

"You mean, Roy Kramer? This is impossible, absolutely impossible. He is pushing forward and obstructing at the same time. There is absolutely no need for him to do this." The principal shook his head.

"He wants to win over us and let us know that once we step on this boat, there will never be a way back!"

"At the beginning of this season, I used the media to express my goodwill to the NCAA. What happened? The media began to show a lot of news about Peyton Manning. If my performance in October had not completely suppressed Peyton, I am afraid that now Peyton Manning's Still ranked higher than me. The SEC is interested in supporting him. Whose idea was it? Of course it was Roy Cramer."

"He had already made all preparations for me and the University of Alabama to move forward on the route he planned. It was not the Garden of Eden, but hell."

"Do you still remember that night last year when you and he met me in person? Without me, Roy would have left the Independence Bowl directly to you. It was my appearance that forced him to change his plan." Ethan continued.

In addition, Ethan also mentioned NIL rights to him before, which further accelerated Roy's plan.

Roger Sorensen obviously didn't believe Ethan's sensational remarks.

"Ethan, I think you need to see a psychiatrist. You are a little too sensitive. I can't think of any motive for Roy Kramer to do this." Sorensen said.

"Of course there are reasons. As the chairman of the SEC, what does he get? The only ones who share the money are those dozen universities, so what can he get?"

"Not only the Southeastern Conference, but other sports powerhouses also have complaints about the incompetent Cedric Dempsey. If you were one of the voting members of the Board of Governors, who would you choose?" Ethan asked rhetorically.

Roger Sorenson was asked.

According to Ethan, Roy Kramer's reputation, which has successfully caused the NCAA to lose face, will undoubtedly reach its peak.

The NCAA's Board of Governors is attended by the school's principals and school representatives. Whether it can expand the influence of the NCAA and thus bring more benefits to the school is what the Board members are most concerned about.

"And I, and even the University of Alabama, are just pawns in Roy Kramer's rise. He used us to bargain with the NCAA, and we are the only ones who bear the infamy. In the end, as an account to the NCAA, we will be If you give up for a while, how long do you think you can hold the position of principal?"

Ethan looked at him and said word by word.

At this time, Roger Sorenson was no longer sleepy, and there was a deep fear deep in his heart.

If what Ethan said is true, it would be more than just "early retirement". He would also be charged with multiple charges by the Alabama District Attorney.

Roger immediately began to make plans.

"I understand, young man, I will consider this matter carefully. You go back first. No matter what, the school will be your solid backing." Roger continued and began to comfort Ethan.

"Go back? Maybe you will call Roy as soon as I leave? After all, Roy has not really taken action yet, and there is still room for maneuver. In return, you will be the first to give up on me. If you If you don't want to be sent to the local prison, you'd better follow my arrangements from now on." Ethan did not hesitate to expose the other party's lies.

"Young man, things have developed so far that they are far beyond your control." Roger shook his head.

"Really? I can offer you an offer that no one can give, an offer that you can't refuse." Ethan suddenly laughed.

There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Roger Sorenson and Roy Kramer maintained a deep relationship, and Roy Kramer used Roger Sorenson as a pawn, all for profit.

, similarly, the principal can also cooperate with himself for the sake of interests.

This is the fundamental purpose of Ethan coming to the principal's house late at night.

Compared with these veterans, Ethan is just a player who has not officially entered the professional arena.When the gods fight, you will suffer no matter what.

In this case, why not take the initiative to control your own destiny?

After Ethan finished stating his conditions, Roger fell into a long-lost silence, seeming to be weighing and evaluating the feasibility of the matter in his mind.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?" Roger asked.

"You need to contact N, C, A, and A in private." Ethan looked at him and said slowly.

"Friends in the audience, welcome back to the 62nd Iron Fist Game. This year's game is back in Auburn. Auburn University's home game this year has only the last and most important goal left. That is to defeat Alabama! "

"As for the University of Alabama, the task on his shoulders is obviously heavier. Ethan O'Connor, with this new and old mix of the Alabama Crimson Tide team, will launch a championship for the first BCS Bowl Series in history. According to Ranking, if Alabama can win this game, it will participate in the SEC championship game, and if Alabama doubles over Tennessee, it will lock in a spot to participate in the Rose Bowl. This will also be Alabama's first time in nearly a year Half a century, back in California for another bowl game.”

Matt Millen's voice came from the TV screen.

Ethan looked at the tens of thousands of Auburn University fans at Jordan Hill. They were wearing navy blue jerseys and were undoubtedly Auburn University supporters.

Auburn University has performed well this year, with five wins and one loss so far, only behind Alabama for second place in the Southeastern Conference West Division.

This is inseparable from the hard work of head coach Terry Bowden. Under his guidance, Auburn University's performance has steadily improved every year.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was looking at Ethan, who was wearing a helmet opposite him, with an expression that couldn't be described as very happy.

In a pre-game interview with Penny, Ethan bluntly said that Auburn University is not an obstacle to the national championship.

In other words, Ethan O'Connor has absolute confidence in this game.

"Let Alabama experience how powerful we are." Terry encouraged his boys.

Terry also paid special attention to Ethan's performance this year. In his opinion, without Ethan O'Connor, Auburn University would have an % chance of defeating this year's Alabama team.

But if you add Ethan.

He could only hope not to lose too ugly.

Alabama's opponent this year isn't Auburn, it's the Rose Bowl.

·
At the beginning of the game, Auburn University showed a strong fighting spirit. No matter what, the iron fist was related to the face of the two universities. The Auburn players went all out.After a not-so-successful offensive attack by Alabama, Auburn fought back and successfully kicked a free kick.

Looking back at the Alabama offensive team, Ethan did not seem to be in the state at first. Under the crazy containment of Auburn University regardless of physical strength, Ethan did not find a good opportunity.

As an excellent hunter, Ethan will not show all his cards in the first quarter of the game.

On the other hand, Auburn University handled the Alabama defense well in both rounds of offense.With 7 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, another free kick was scored.

Then, the game gradually entered Ethan's rhythm. He led the University of Alabama to launch a counterattack without mercy, and after relying on a free kick to score three points, Ethan used a sudden move in the scoring attack. The pass was passed directly to tight end Rod Rutledge. The latter turned around to get the ball under the attack of the two, took a step back, turned around, and rushed into the formation easily. district.

As the PAT scored, Alabama began to launch a counterattack.

Afterwards, Ethan did not give the opponent any chance to breathe. He used the flat long pass that he had just mastered this season and directly penetrated Auburn University's entire defense line.

Before the first quarter ended, the University of Alabama took a 17-6 lead.

In the second quarter, the University of Alabama's offense became stronger and stronger. With Ethan's help, not only he, but also several newcomers also performed well. They had learned the horizontal direction from Tennessee before. Shifting routes, being used by rookie wide receivers with increasing proficiency.

By the middle of the game, Alabama further expanded its advantage.

"This is Ethan O'Connor. As a 'closer,' he is a perfectly run football machine who will never give his opponents any breathing space. This is not an elephant standing in front of the Auburn University Tigers. , but an executioner."

Auburn University is named after a tiger, and Alabama's mascot is an elephant.

In the stadium, even if the Tiger Claw girls were jumping around hard and the music was turned up to the maximum, it still couldn't save the atmosphere in the slightest.

Many Auburn University fans put their heads in their hands and looked listless.

Got beaten up.

Even though Auburn University developed multiple defensive tactics against Ethan this year, it still couldn't stop Ethan.

He showed the Southeastern Conference what true talent is in his first year.

And this year, he allowed the Southeastern Conference to see the terrifying growth rate of geniuses.

Eason already appears to be a level ahead of the Southeastern Conference.

It's like a college team facing a professional NFL team, which makes people feel desperate.

Moreover, Ethan himself is a typical dual-threat quarterback with strong scoring ability.Even if an NFL quarterback comes in person, it might not be as good as Ethan's.

Perhaps, only after he officially enters the NFL will Auburn University be able to defeat Alabama with an iron fist, right?

It can be said that Ethan used this half of the game to directly knock Auburn's spirit away.

·
In the stadium, in the first row in the middle of the stadium, there was a young woman wearing a peaked cap.

She was neither wearing the navy blue cheer uniform of Auburn University nor a red top. Instead, she was wearing white and looked like a neutral fan.

To be precise, she didn't come to Auburn to watch football today.

Instead, he received a secret order from his father and came here to meet someone.

"It's a pity that even though he has such great skills, he only thinks about how to make money." Rose shook her head and said silently in her heart.

Her attitude towards Ethan has not changed from the beginning to the end. She believes that Ethan's appearance is a stain on the NCAA, and even the entire NCAA and university sports industry!
