"Player must attend at least an average of MUT 24 Coins of Independent Study (as specified below) each week (excluding any bye week) during each Playing season (as as defined in the following) during the time for the Contact."
It then outlines what this meansand that Murray isn't able to multitask during his mandatory study time. No video games, no TV, no web browsing for the duration of four hours. If it sounds strange, that's because it's. This type of clause for study was never seen in a Madden NFL 24 contract previously, and on the surface it might seem like a huge deal as we're already witnessing what the implications of the decision.
The main issue with the addition isn't requiring independent research but rather what the mandate reveals. The specificity of the clause can bring anyone to the single outcome: "Kyler Murray doesn't study and we're forced to force him to." It's in contradiction to what the Cardinals required to do in the contract in question, which was to encourage faith, offer their support into Murray and move forward.
Murray's relationship with fans was in need of to be repaired. He was wounded, fuelled by rumors of potential trades and the desire to leave Arizona. Additionally, there was displeasure at his refusal for a return to the field after an unsuccessful playoff match against the Rams. In a time when there was need to buy Madden Coins be an even solid trust building for all sides as a result, the Cardinals put this clause in and completely destroyed the whole thing. Perception is now reset and the notion that Murray does not put in the effort -- or has to be forced to "love" football (a old pre-draft rule because of his passion for baseball) remains in place.
