He's a teacher. Obvious genius.
I do feel bad for the kids who he harangues with his ********.
Honestly one of this board's absolute worst posters. If only you could buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth.
Rex and 500k

So very true. Spot on.He's a teacher. Obvious genius.

He’s done a lot to earn the dislike. The guy was a legendary Kentucky player. Think about how much goodwill comes in this state with being a great player for the Wildcats and just how big of a jerk someone has to be to mess that up. Chapman has managed to be enough of a jerk and a delinquent for long enough to burn through the massive amount of goodwill equity he had with most of BBN. It’s actually impressive in a sad way.
I don't doubt a lot of schools and/or boosters offered him money.
What I don't like is some of his phrasing:
- "I would say"
- "Through my parents or coaches"
- "I would tell my parents and see what they had to say"
These are all indications HE wasn't offered anything specifically and he is just plugging in numbers that feel right to him. Hopefully his parents kept him out of whatever went down at the time.

Yeah I don't believe there is any question he was offered money. Probably us included. The only part that is not believable is the amount. $500k was a huge amount back then. I'd believe $50k. That's more in line with what college players were getting back then.
********.
You better be ready to back that up if you’re going to throw an accusation out like that.

Going to go out on a limb and say Greg Brown growing up in Austin played a pretty big role in him attending UT
Add to it he's a white kid in a game dominated by blacks....that gets you a little more.
Dude...if you think UK is as pure as the driven snow you're in a delusional world. Money is getting to players at UK, UNCheat, pUKe, Kansas, UGA, Alabama, Notre Dame, etc.
He said the offer was through parents/coaches or whatever. So what we're really looking at is a guy recalling something from over 30 years ago that was told to him by someone else who actually received the offer. Don't you think that person could easily inflate or even totally generate that offer to pump 17 year old Rex's ego up?
If this was true, then Rex would’ve talked about it WAY before now. He has a pathological attention-***** personality disorder. No way he could’ve sat on such attention-getting info for this long.
exactly
and what has he done to to EARN love from BBN.?
He didn't want to come here. He lied the whole time he was here. Left early, after declaring he would be here for 4 years (BUT, everyone that knew him, knew his plan was to leave after sophomore season...I knew this before 1st game). Has put down BBN numerous times..(Was actually booed, the first time he did the "Y", self included) Has called BBN racist...Has not carried himself respectively outside of basketball. Still feeds off BBN.
This is just tip of iceberg.
IF true... then more 30 years later that guy is 53 and still believes it... LOL
So, either dumb, liar, or attentions seeking *****...
So very true. Richie Farmer got elected to an office because of it. Chapman is a narcissist of the highest order.
because they got caught before they could finish paying him. the offer was $200k
I am sure he was offered some money but I doubt is was $500,000.00, just Rex crying for attentionl
Rex was well taken care of by boosters as was Richie I’m sure, but this story doesn’t even make sense, his rookie deal couldn’t have been more than a couple million at the time lol.
Joe Rogan insults himself by being Joe Rogan.
Honestly, I don’t think Chapman is smart enough to think in terms like that.
A message to anyone: if Chapman says anything, immediately do the opposite.
Chapman needs to ride off into the sunset and be silent .

Heck 500k is a huge amount these days. Davis no doubt got the 200k. I'd say a few others did too. Rex may have gotten 50k or 15k. Not 500
Rex is a drama queen; it always has to be about him and if it isn’t he will do whatever’s necessary to make sure it is about him. He ran UK into the gutter for years until he was down, out and desperate. The UK leaders opted to rescuer him and help restore his credibility by giving him a role on the Kentucky pregame broadcasts and other public relations endeavors. . However, once he perceived his credibility had been restored he returned to his obnoxious self promoting self. He became unlistenable to on the radio and eventually so toxic because of incessant yapping about political matters that UK officials had to replace him. Thankfully, Jack Givens took his place and Jack has been absolutely terrific.
I don’t begrudge Rex for using his notoriety to speak out about politics, social justice issues or anything else. It’s all subjective of course for each one of us as to assess how we perceive someone based on what they do and say and how they do and say it but for me Rex comes across as a pandering self promoter who has morphed into an “Elmer Gantry” like figure within the Twitter universe and elsewhere

Is….is there someone who actually thinks Rex lying about the amount of money *isnt* important to this story? There is someone who doesn’t think that’s critical point?
No doubt? Another hot take from you with no facts or data to back it up
Why is everyone so upset? He is telling us his version of his recruitment. He doesn't name names. I find it interesting. I hope he took the 500k regardless of who offered it.
