The problem is that once you are in your 30s and 40s, all career opportunities build on the experience you have gained through your past work. Agree that he is done in football and broadcasting. So, Elrod is left with an entry level job in a crappy field of work that will take any candidate they can get or he is going to drive for Uber, but at best, his professional life is going to be awful and mind-numbing. He had two cushy jobs connected to football and Wake Forest and pissed them away. Every day sucks for him, and I am glad.
Would be curious to know how and if WF and ISP resolved the situation with Elrod. Did they reach a settlement where WF agreed to not pursue litigation (WF had claims against Elrod that a minimum could've bankrupted him just through the legal fees that he would've incurred to defend himself as Elrod stole WF trade secrets with malicious intent) against Elrod in return for Elrod never speaking publically about what happened? Confident that there must have been some negotiations between the school and Elrod to tie this up.
Well it was a WME-IMG problem since Elrod was working for their IMG-College division when this was caught last fall. Did the mother company really care? What ultimately got him of course was that he had MSD phones which could be traced with his texts and calls to all theses rogue schools like Army & Louisville with our intricate game plans. Not schemes and such mind you, but what # player would be in what position while at the goal line, let's say. Or Army knowing we were going to pass over the top instead of pounding them with the running game all day. He would go in during practice and call the other schools, right then to his coach contacts.
All that aside, he is in Winston, his wife I hear still has her job at Hanes Sara Lee, he coaches his kids at the Y, hangs out at his club and all is right in his world? Go figure??
