This is a TEST

So...let's say that you're a college athlete. An NCAA basketball player, to be exact. And you share a dorm apartment with three of your teammates. And let's say you had allllll this expensive STUFF in your dorm. Stuff NCAA players aren't supposed to be able to afford. Like, say...$40,000 in mink coats, $2,500 in diamond earrings, $4,000 in custom-made shirts, $3,150 in throwback jerseys, etc. etc. etc.

Then let's say one night you were playing a basketball game...against a Division II school that was actually kicking your ass, but that's really not pertinent to the story. So your dorm apartment is empty. Because all four of you are at the fancy new arena trying to win a spot in the starting line up. And just suppose, when you return from the game, you find that your dorm apartment has been broken into and ALL YOUR FANCY EXPENSIVE STUFF HAS BEEN STOLEN.

Now, who do you call?
(choose one)

a) Your coach...who can hopefully keep your ass out of trouble,

OR

b) The police...who will put your story on the evening news.

Yeah, well, that's why you & me didn't get a free ride to college on a basketball scholarship. Because we're smarter than this.
