It is beyond ridiculous how many A&M and Texas fans think everyone else pays for recruits. All fan bases have homers that yell that out when they lose a recruit, but it seems like the state of Texas is full of those types. (I guess part of school and state pride run amok.)

Which makes little sense in terms of A&M vs Texas, because if your average middle of Texas Aggie or Longhorn saw a blatant gift to a recruit by the rival school, you know they would make sure personally that the story was blown wide open.

College recruiting is no where near as blatantly dirty as some simple minded folk want to believe. (Now on campus benefits, that is a whole 'nother ball game.)

Sounds like a lot of Tiger fans whenever Bama snags a wanted recruit from LA right?

it's not blatant because it can't be…. but it's definitely dirty…. as a college fan, i have come to realize that pretty much every big school cheats/breaks the rules, but the difference is how well can you hide it and how many people do you have on the payroll….

i love LSU, but i'd have to be a fricking moron to think that LSU, getting the same top notch recruits as all of the schools we assume or accuse of cheating get, is totally in the clear when it comes to breaking a few rules…..
