Do u really believe they signed an 7 -8 year lease? Maybe that's the value of the trucks, but if the approximate $700/mo. lease is accurate, it is not a $6 million deal. You turn the trucks in at the end of the lease.
Its more likely based on mileage, not years

Can you look this up somewhere?
The information I had is at least two years old. Maybe someone on here has more/better access. Jamie produced these numbers for all of the big 12 thru various like kind comparisons.

And lets be honest, dealers finding vehicles for players isn't exactly a new thing, even pre-NIL being legal.
If only Benson Motors was still around. I was with the man for his 80th birthday Sunday. He would've taken care of these boys. :) Unfortunately George White's Business Manager is a big Hawkeye fan. Great guy, but I'm guessing he would not be on board with We Will.

Leases always have a beginning date, ending date and maximum annual mileage without additional monies owed on a per mile basis
Correct, but in this case, I am willing to guess the dealer that supplied the trucks has the first rights to buy them back as used vehicles, and more than likely is when the trucks have 6k-10k miles on them. The beginning and end date do not matter whatsoever. No dealer is going to supply trucks without some incentive from a business standpoint. They are all one year leases, and if a player stays, they get a completely different truck

Very well could be one-year leases. Then it is a firm commitment of around $700,000. The article said $6 million commitment. You mean journalists don't under leases? Lol.

What is hilarious to me is all these trucks had an average MSPR of $43,970? i believe, meaning someone donated 3.7 million worth of trucks. WTF does the 6 mil figure come from? lol

You are never happy. Did you complain that your cereal was wet this morning?
I’m plenty happy. Proud of this staff and team. I’m not part of the group that quit on them a month ago.

Not only buy them back, but then turn around and recoup some of the money if say someone like a Brock Purdy or Breece Hall from Utah was the one that drove the truck for a year or two. I would think there would be a market out there for a big Utah fan that would love to drive the vehicle from one of their star players and would be willing to pay more to do so.
