mmmtodd Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 SI Story Long read, but very informative. Editors' NoteThis story includes the names of 30 former college football players who are alleged to have taken money or some other extra benefit in violation of NCAA rules. The primary source of these allegations is Josh Luchs, who has been a certified NFL agent for 20 years. Eight players confirmed to SI that they had accepted money or benefits from Luchs. Several of them, including former USC receiver R. Jay Soward, said they took the payments because their scholarship didn't provide enough money for rent and food. "I would do it again," Soward said. "I have four sons, and if somebody offered my son money in college and it meant he didn't have to be hungry, I would tell him to take it." Quote Link to comment

Kind of confirms what everybody really already knows but still, kind of dispiriting. Quote Link to comment
Coqui Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 According to radio shows today, they're already stating there was misinformation on that article. He got some players incorrect. This is going to mess witha lot of schools. Quote Link to comment
