The Cam Newton laptop instance is a good example.
My Penn State one: 2016 defensive end Garrett Sickels’s took a post-college job across the country after she graduated. Sickels was suspended for half a game for cutting class so he could get a longer weekend to visit her. The half game suspension came during the White Out against #2 Ohio State and whether it was being fresh off the bench in the second half of the extra motivation, Sickels went off. He had more sacks in the third quarter of that game than in the entire 2015 season and Penn State would pull off a shocking upset that would lead to a Big Ten Championship.
So Sickells’s girlfriend taking a job across the country led to PSU being a big ten champion. Sickells would get some bad advice and forego his senior year, end up undrafted and retire from football about 3 years later.
What are yours?
