This got me thinking about cash exchanges to players and recruits. Just how much of this is going on? Do you think it happens everywhere sometimes or is it everywhere all the time? And is it happening at LSU as much as everywhere else?

I got money when I was at LSU. I got a check every Friday from a Cafeteria. I also would sell Plasma, buy a bus ticket, six pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon, a can of Copenhagen and head home.

So I guess I could assume not just the blue chip players are getting "benefits"?

If you are a true LSU fan why would you even mention LSU when this story has zero to do with LSU

Yeah, he fumbled a lot. He had a great potential, as we see today, but he wasn't nearly the same player

Don't ask questions you don't want answers to! It happens at EVERY school, but to what degree varies greatly. The only saving grace is plausible deniability, because the schools and coaches 99% of the time don't know.

But, there is some young stud, relatively speaking, playing for the South Central Montana Treetoppers who could have been a FBS player that decided to play for them that some booster is filling the pockets of.

It has a lot to do with recruiting. School benefits. Will a player go to LSU and get the same/more/less benefits than other schools? It doesn't hurt LSU to discuss it on the RB. Lets not take ourselves too seriously and think Posts on here can be used in an investigation.

I'm fascinated with recruiting. The up and up stuff AND the violations.

Wait....now we have to add Tennessee to the only other three teams in college football that give their guys money?

Bama
Clemson
Ole Miss

wow....just one more team the rant blames for paying players...wonder how this will go over.

Well the soccer board has a lot of professional soccer news. And I was trying to discuss soccer recruiting. Wrong board?

When that LSU Soccer Recruiting Board coming?
