assistant Larry Porter, who was running backs coach from 2002 to '04, also made straight payments to players. Girtman says that when he arrived in Stillwater in the summer of 2003, DeForest handed him a debit card with $5,000 on it, which was periodically refilled. Ricky Coxeff,

Early in his first season Shaw says he went to Miles and told him he needed a car to get to his classes. Shaw says Miles replied, "I can lead you to where you can get some help."

In the locker room, as Mickens and his teammates shed their gear, a man he had never seen before approached and handed him cash. "I was like, Wow, this is the life!" Mickens says. "I'm 18, playing football, and I just got $200."
Mickens says he received several similar postgame handoffs from other boosters during his first season in Stillwater.
Boosters giving players $ and shite happens everywhere. This ois ridiculous
I've spoken with a current starter on an ACC team who has told me this happens all the time

Some players received $2,000 annually and others around $10,000, multiple players told SI; a few stars allegedly received $25,000 or more.

But this envelope was fatter, and it was packed with bills. "I saw that one," says Girtman, who played in Stillwater from 2003 to '04. "I was like, Holy s---." To that point, Girtman says, the most he had received for his performance was $500, from a member of the football staff. "I was getting paid on the low end," Girtman says. "Some of those guys got monster payments."

Oh my disgruntled ex players many whom were dismissed from the team are telling stories.
Didnt read anything earth shattering or that doesn't happen at any another school. The writer tried to add drama like this was the equivalent of killing babies.
Spolier alert I bet former players talk about how they all smoked weed and got pussy from recruiting hosts.

I thought the thing that was the biggest was the jobs where they got grossly overpaid and never did anything. I remember when Posey from OSU did that (got paid like 1.5X the going rate and made an extra like $300 or something), he was suspended for 5 games. These guys were apparently getting hundreds to go fishing, or thousands to be ranchhands who didn't do anything
Although, if a coach is giving money to players directly...that may be the largest item

Not condoning anything, but id be surprised if that shite doesnt happe at most big time programs. The good ones just do a better job of keeping it under wraps.

See heres the thing that I dont like. All of these programs have these young girls who bring recruits around and to say that id tripled under Miles, to me, isnt an indictment of him. He probably realized recruits enjoy the company of hot young women. Is it really on the Head Coach is "a small number of women in the group" were whorish cleat chasers? What they are reporting isnt that Miles forced these women to have sex with the recruits.

Not all Oklahoma State players were rewarded. Former Cowboys who spoke to SI estimated that between 15 and 20 players received money under the table in any given year, meaning that many contributors, including starters, never saw a dime. Why were some paid and not others? Often it was a willingness to request money. Players who sought financial assistance were often directed by teammates or sometimes a member of the coaching staff to a generous benefactor; in some instances they were paid on the spot.
Wait what?
How can they write this then a couple paragraphs down talk about a guy getting money handshakes out of nowhere from people they didn't know.
