True. If Lea succeeds, then he is a hero to his school and can waltz into bigger jobs. If he fails, he can still waltz into major DC jobs and from there get another P5 HC job.The risk is all Vanderbilt's.
Lea will walk away with millions whether he is successful or not. If he fails, everyone will just say that nobody can win at Vanderbilt without cheating, they won't blame Lea, and he will walk away with millions.
