00:35:42you're playing his game
00:35:43we need a different board
00:35:47different board
00:35:50so evan
00:35:51there are rumors
00:35:52that your scholarship
00:35:53is under review
00:35:54care to comment
00:35:55it's not a rumor
00:35:57it's happening
00:35:57and the reason isn't my gpa
00:36:00my community service
00:36:01or my performance
00:36:02on the field
00:36:02then what is it
00:36:03it's who i date
00:36:04and more specifically
00:36:06whose son i date
00:36:07are you saying
00:36:07a donor is using their influence
00:36:09to target you
00:36:11i'm saying
00:36:11when you're a scholarship kid
00:36:13your life is owned
00:36:14by people who've never met you
00:36:16and if one of them
00:36:17decides you're inconvenient
00:36:18the system protects them
00:36:20not you
00:36:20son i date
00:36:22he put my name
00:36:23in a college newspaper
00:36:25he didn't mention your name
00:36:27he mentioned a donor
00:36:29but if the shoe fits
00:36:30do you have any idea
00:36:32what this does to the firm
00:36:33to the board
00:36:34then maybe you should have thought about that before threatening his mother's job
00:36:37you chose him
00:36:38you chose him
00:36:39the trust is frozen
00:36:40effective immediately
00:36:41your two in payments
00:36:43due in six weeks
00:36:44it won't clear
00:36:45then i'll take loans

00:36:47with what credit
00:36:49you've never had a paycheck
00:36:51in your life
00:36:51then i'll learn
00:36:53evan's been doing it
00:36:54since he was 16
00:36:55i figure i can catch up
00:36:58you just gave up everything
00:36:59for an interview
00:37:00i did without asking you
00:37:01you didn't need to ask
00:37:03we said together remember
00:37:04i'm supposed to be the poor one
00:37:06you you had everything
00:37:07had

00:37:20that's them
00:37:21the interview guys
00:37:23dude
00:37:23that article was fire

00:37:26thank you
00:37:28attention seeking
00:37:30too much attention
00:37:31this is going to blow back
00:37:35let it
00:37:35they can't take back
00:37:37what's already said
00:37:38the article has
00:37:40put the department
00:37:41in a difficult position
00:37:42donors are
00:37:43concerned
00:37:45their stats speak for themselves
00:37:47carter's got the best
00:37:48passing record this season
00:37:49holland's tackles
00:37:50are top three in the conference
00:37:51this isn't about performance
00:37:53it's about optics
00:37:54who's optics
00:37:55the 40 scholarship students
00:37:57who just realized
00:37:58they're one donor call away
00:37:59from losing everything
00:38:02i'm not terminating anyone
00:38:04but i need you both to understand
00:38:06this is bigger than football now
00:38:09good
00:38:09it should be
00:38:10the article's been picked up
00:38:11by three national outlets
00:38:12david versus goliath narrative
00:38:14public sentiment is heavily pro carter
00:38:17and the hearing
00:38:19still scheduled
00:38:20but if they expel him now
00:38:21it'll look like retaliation
00:38:22pr nightmare
00:38:23then we don't expel him
00:38:25we make him irrelevant
00:38:28sir
00:38:31asher has six weeks
00:38:33before his tuition bounces
00:38:34no credit
00:38:35no co-signer
00:38:36no way to stay enrolled
00:38:36he'll have to drop out
00:38:37and when he does
00:38:39carter loses the reason
00:38:40anyone cares about this story
00:38:43exactly
00:38:48mr carter
00:38:49this hearing is to address
00:38:51concerns raised about
00:38:52conduct
00:38:52impatiable with scholarship terms
00:38:54may i see those terms
00:38:57section 4.2
00:38:58behavior reflecting positively
00:39:00on the institution
00:39:01and which behavior
00:39:03specifically violates that
00:39:04my 3.8 gpa
00:39:06my 200 community service hours
00:39:09or the fact that i'm in a relationship
00:39:11with another man
00:39:13we've received complaints
00:39:15from donors
00:39:15how many complaints
00:39:17one
00:39:18one donor
00:39:19let me guess
00:39:20holland's health care foundation
00:39:24this is a list of 43 scholarship students
00:39:26with the same clause
00:39:27if you set a precedent
00:39:29that one donor can target a student
00:39:31for their personal life
00:39:32you've just opened liability
00:39:34for every name on this list
00:39:35are you threatening legal action
00:39:38i'm offering you a way out
00:39:40affirm that the clause applies to conduct
00:39:42not identity
00:39:43publicly
00:39:43that protects you
00:39:45and every student in that file
00:39:46we'll take this under advisement
00:39:48you'll have our decision in 72 hours
00:39:52dude
00:39:53you basically lawyered them into a corner
00:39:55i just threatened a committee
00:39:57that controls my future
00:39:58i'm either a genius or an idiot
00:40:00can it be both
00:40:02how bad
00:40:04no bank will give me a loan
00:40:05without a cosigner
00:40:06every job application asks for references
00:40:09and the only people who know me
00:40:10are on my father's payroll
00:40:11we'll figure it out
00:40:13four weeks evan
00:40:14then i'm out
00:40:15and you'll be fighting this alone
00:40:19listen to me
00:40:20you think i fought that hearing for me
00:40:23i fought it for us
00:40:25if i have to take a semester off
00:40:26to work with you
00:40:28we both come back
00:40:29you do that
00:40:32in a heartbeat
00:40:35i'm sorry mr hollins
00:40:36without payment clearance by friday
00:40:38you'll be administratively withdrawn
00:40:40can i defer
00:40:41take a leave of absence
00:40:42you'd need to reapply for readmission
00:40:44no guarantee of acceptance
00:40:45and your athletic eligibility would reset
00:40:47so either i find 15 grand in three days
00:40:50or i lose everything
00:40:51i really am sorry
00:40:55crowdfunding
00:40:55people raise money for dumber shit
00:40:57than keeping a kid in school
00:41:00that's charity
00:41:01i'm not
00:41:01i can't
00:41:03you can
00:41:04and you will
00:41:05because this isn't about pride anymore
00:41:08help ashton hollins stay in school
00:41:10after his family cut him off
00:41:11for being himself
00:41:13boom

00:41:14what if no one cares
00:41:15then we tried
00:41:17but i think you're underestimating
00:41:18how many people read that interview
00:41:21people are actually
00:41:22they're donating
00:41:23your story made me call my son

00:41:29rich people don't own education
00:41:33this is really happening
00:41:34strangers are

00:41:40you saved yourself
00:41:41by choosing to stay
00:41:45i don't give speeches
00:41:46but i'm making an exception
00:41:50these two fought the system and won
00:41:52not because they're special
00:41:54because they refuse to disappear
00:41:56i was a dick
00:41:58sorry carter

00:56:18honestly
00:56:19probably freshman year
00:56:21I just didn't want to admit it
00:56:23I knew sophomore year
00:56:26when he scored his first touchdown
00:56:28and looked at the stands
00:56:29like he was searching for someone
00:56:30to share it with
00:56:32you remember that
00:56:35I remember everything
00:56:36people ask if I was worried about
00:56:38having two gay captains
00:56:39I tell him
00:56:42I was worried about winning
00:56:44they delivered
00:56:45end of story
00:56:55they're not just good players
00:56:57they make everyone around them better

01:06:11three years ago
01:06:12we were here
01:06:13terrified
01:06:14and now
01:06:15still terrified
01:06:16but of different things
01:06:17like what
01:06:18like
01:06:19what if this is as good
01:06:20as it gets
01:06:21what if we peaked
01:06:24Evan Carter
01:06:24we survived your
01:06:25scholarship hearing
01:06:26two years apart
01:06:26and the entire internet
01:06:27having opinions about us
01:06:29that's true
01:06:30so I figure we can
01:06:31survive this
01:06:33Asher
01:06:35I'm not asking you
01:06:36to marry me
01:06:36not yet
01:06:38these are promise rings

01:06:42we face it together
01:06:46put it on
01:06:56three hours

01:07:33to those who
01:07:33oppose marriage
01:07:34equality
01:07:34I'd say
01:07:36love doesn't
01:07:37ask permission
01:07:39it just is
01:07:40and every law
01:07:41that tries to stop
01:07:42it is fighting
01:07:42a losing battle
01:07:43we're not asking
01:07:44for special rights
01:07:45we're asking
01:07:46to be seen
01:07:46as human
