Baylor Turns Down Car Dealer's Offer After 'Hood' Recruiting Remark

As the saying goes, to the victor go the spoils. For Baylor men's basketball coach Scott Drew, those spoils apparently won't include a newly decked-out Jeep.

Ted Teague, general manager of the Allen Samuels Auto Group dealership in Waco, was interviewed for a local news broadcast and showed off a new Jeep that was adorned with a Baylor-themed wrap to commemorate the program's first national championship. Teague said the dealership had previously gifted custom cars to women's coach Kim Mulkey after national championships, and he intended to continue the tradition for Drew.

During the interview, however, Teague made a comment about Drew being able to use the Jeep to help with recruiting, saying Drew could "enjoy it and he’ll use it to recruit and pull some people out of the hood.
