AEW President Tony Khan offered to cover AEW tag team Private Party’s college tuitions if they had maintained a 3.0 GPA.

Several stars have gone on record to note that the care and support that AEW CEO Tony Khan has for his roster of talent.
In a new video on Isiah Kassidy’s YouTube channel, Kassidy and his tag team partner Marq Quen discussed their in-ring careers.

When the duo talked about their time in AEW, Private Party revealed that Khan once presented them with an offer to cover their college tuitions, but they had to maintain a 3.0 GPA. Explaining they turned this offer down, Quen said:
Quen: “Do you remember when Tony (Khan) asked us if we wanted to go to school? He would cover it. But we had to keep a grade like higher than B, and we just looked at him like…” 
Kassidy: “So quick fact. This is how great of a man Tony Khan is and I don’t think I’ve ever told this story but, he offered to pay for Quen and I’s college if we kept I think a 3.0.”

Quen: “That’s a B, right? Is it a B?”
Kassidy: “I think so. But knowing me, I was young and dumb. I’m like, ‘Eh, I don’t wanna do college.’”
Quen: “I wasn’t. I was just like, ‘Pshhh.’”

Kassidy continued on to explain that he had already tried college before, saying:
“I already tried college. I tried college and if I didn’t try it, I would have probably tried it at that time but I already tried college and I figured out it wasn’t for me. I’m being honest with you. College is not for everybody…”
“I know it’s a beautiful opportunity that a lot of people wouldn’t have passed on.”
“However, I just thought it was really kind and it was a really dope thing to do by Tony Khan. But, we didn’t take the opportunity.”
