I get: Ronnie Brown He gets: Knowshown Moreno I'm thinking no

A couple of things about this: 1. It doesn't take $200K to land a top player. Rumor is that Patrick Peterson accepted $35K and $500/month to go to LSU. 2. I don't know about basketball, but in college football the boosters don't pay the players like the agents do. Instead, they pay the families of the players, where mysterious envelopes full of cash and game tickets pop up on their doorstep the week of a game. I guess we'll have to wait and see the results of Anthony Davis's lawsuit to find out how much it costs.

That seems like a really stupid way to look at production. -

Why did I think there was an I in there too?

Were you just trolling everyone before?

Knox I guess, if you have to.

Like I said, I think boosters are a much bigger issue, but if you've got "friends of the program" who your coach can steer the kid to in return for you delivering him to the university for a certain fee, I could see it.

Yes

What are these perceived squeecky clean state schools? Notre Dame? Air Force? I'm not sure anybody with half a brain would be surprised to hear a kid from any school took money from an agent at some point. I bet the average fan would be surprised to hear Duke players took money

I would think boosters paying kids is a bigger "issue" than agents. Seems to make a lot more sense for for a booster to be handing out $200,000 to a 17 year old to go to a certain school than for an agent, but I don't doubt similar things can happen with agents. They have their connections to certain coaches the same way AAU coaches do, and everyone along the way gets their kickbacks. That said, I think it's pretty damn cynical to believe every program has agents/boosters paying players. When a kid gets a few bucks here and there for an agent, that's tougher to track, but if a coach sees the kid on the team with no money driving around campus in a hummer, he knows what's going on. Without the liability tied directly to the coach, it's easy for him to turn his head and say he wasn't involved, some choose that route, some don't

If you believe that agents paying players only happens at select schools, how is it not a competitive advantage? If I'm a high school athlete and know I can get paid at Kentucky, Memphis, or UMass, but can't get paid at Northwestern, how is that not an advantage?
-
Um, it is him as well. He's not an agent anymore.
-
He better be

You can root for Kerry

I'd take Schaub, Jennings (assuming a healthy Rodgers), Torain, and Flacco

I should clarify, I love seeing them look into Drew, I don't love the benefit gained by IU.

This guy sounds like a self-important douchebag

I fully expect it to be hung over the bar at one of the south side's finest establishments. -
What was it that Stalin said about arrests in the SEC?

I agree especially since this likely means Hanner is headed to IU. \:D/ Baylor and IU were his leaders. That was my first thought #-o
