I did some brief research, maybe we follow the Barstool Athletes model:

"Portnoy announced the creation of Barstool Athletics, which will funnel exclusive merchandise to official Barstool athletes as well as pizza, and the ability to “come party with us for free,” Portnoy said."

This is not what Ed O-Bannon gave his life for.

Well, I for one think that this idea has merit, which means a good feasibility study is in order

After all, I can not imagine a USF Student Athlete who would not want their likeness associated with a report stating that TBP would require 5 years and $300,000 in-order to decide which athlete should be the marketing face of TBP

I like it. Maybe getting to hang out with Cousin Ricky, Trip or NEB will motivate them to greatness.  On the other hand, maybe we could threaten them with hanging out with Puc if they don't get their act together or just reading his extensive run on sentences

I would definitely support this idea, especially if it's someone who came from a tough background. Our players can finally get paid for the work they put in. It will be a boon to them and to us too. 

Who would you want to support for the BullsPen Player?

I vote for a Walk-on. Maybe the basketball player from Hudson HS.

I have a feeling it would look something like this:

That's worth about $0.49, I think we can hire him!

This is a paid tweet to tell you to visit TheBullsPen.com. I've never been there, but I’m sure it’s not terrible.

Not so sure, would hate to oversell this board with that tweet and set up any new members for disappointment.

Sometimes in the world of whoring yourself out (you dont have to sell your likeness for this just so anything you wouldn’t do otherwise without being paid) you have to let people say things about you that you wouldn’t otherwise accept, as long as they pay you more. I’ve had people say horrible things to me but then the payments hit my account and it really takes the sting out of it.

I believe this is a reading from the Gospel according to Puc. I believe your life experiences may be book worthy??
