So I've never signed a multi-million dollar coaching contract. I've never signed a multi-million dollar contract, or even a million dollar contract. So I admit that my experience is lacking.
But I know that when my company signs a contract with a contractor to provide materials, engineering, and other assistance, we often have a bunch of pages. And the number of pages is roughly comparable to the value of the job. When we do a $2,000 agreement, we have a standard form that is about 5 pages long. A $100,000 project might have 50 pages. And everything is combed through by our legal department, and I would assume it's reviewed by the contractor's legal department.
I count 5 pages on the table. And neither side has a lawyer at the table. Sure, they could be behind the camera. And maybe only the pages that need to be signed are on the table.
And, again, maybe my limited experiences don't match reality. But this really doesn't seem legit.
Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to play video games with your big brother, but he didn't think you'd be able to keep up? And he gave you a controller that wasn't plugged in? I think *ichigan did that to Moore. "Here, sign some papers while we take some pictures."
