Ken was speechless in that moment, obviously not expecting Alex to video call him, especially during what looked like practice.
"Hey, is this a good time?" Ken asked, not wanting to get the guy in trouble.
"Yeah we're just taking a quick break. Look, Sanchez and Masaru are here too." He said, moving the phone and showing the other two players.
"Hisashiburi Ken!" Masaru said, waving in the background.
Ken felt his face heat up a little, seeing one of his idols greeting him in such a way. If this was any other circumstance he might be happy to chat for a while, but he needed to get the situation resolved as soon as possible.
He politely answered and steered the conversation back on topic.
"Alex, I'm in some trouble with the NCAA because of those VIP tickets you gave me. They said it violated the impermissible benefits clause."
