Delonte Hollowell - Looking for Support for Graduate School [LOCKED]
Hello,
Delonte Hollowell (DB 2011-2014) is looking for support for graduate school. He started a gofundme page.
Whatever the MGOBLOG community can do to support a former player would be great. His info is on the page itself.
(I'm just an alumni that he reached out to).

I pointed him to this thread, so he might be able to answer any questions himself.
MOD EDIT - locking this one. Way too many groan-inducing replies to make it worth salvaging. To the OP, if Hollowell is willing to post something himself here, let me know - that might be best. - LSA

I thought it was funny.

Some of the animosity may be the use of Support
Yes semantics but... support tends to carry with it a need for a burden to be carried by the community. You support someone for their loss or because they NEED. I think people, myself included, may have thought support was needed due to a need. This is more of an Ask.
Just my $8.47 (god I posted too much on this).

But I can't blame him for trying. He is leveraging his "fame" as an UM football player to try to better himself. The worse that can happen is that people do not donate and he has to find another way to pay for grad school.
Audacity can be quite lucrative.

I'd gladly chip in and help pay for blow and hookers, but I'll be damned if my money is going to be wasted on education.

Close, but in the Michigan Blogsphere, WLA occupies that space.

Hollowell's is way down the list. Again, I'm not criticizing him, but the site does give one a sense of what is important.
I could not find his site either.

There's nothing wrong with getting a job to pay your way through school.

Also nothing wrong with not getting a job and having someone else pay for school if you can swing it.

I donated. I hate NCAA enforced amateurism. I love Michigan football. Easy decision for me.
September 15th, 2015 at 9:35 PM ^
Donated.

Guy is on scholly 4 years and you give him money! Haha
Loans work for washed up former athletes too! Haha
Anyone giving to a GFM must be comfortable with just burning money, bc your money just vanishes with no promise of how its used.

This thread is a disgrace, and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

While it's a nice cause, loans are an unfortunate part of almost every person's life. I would say that it is safe to say that the overwhelming majority of people need to take out loans at some point in their lives, be it a house, car, or an education.

People are actually donating to this? I'm sure Delonte is a fine young man, but giving this kid money is the ultimate jock sniffer move.
