re: Real story about recruiting

In football - during recruiting:
Kids win cash and prizes on official visits
Cash to a family member or friend after a commitment

After they sign: Zero interest "loans" to an "uncle"
Unusually high paying jobs for the player's "cousin"
Unusually high compensation for part time summer jobs for the players
Higher than normal player ticket re-sale prices
Car lease in player's name that gets "paid"



Basketball is where the real cash is handed out because one guy can make all the difference in a program. It is actually pretty simple.

Safe deposit box at a bank is registered with a booster's shell company representative (someone like a secretary or clerk) and the name of a "friend or cousin or uncle" of the player

Booster rep puts cash in safe deposit box when player commits.

Again when player signs with school.

Again when player shows up on campus and is eligible.

Player can get more cash if he/she comes back for another year. If the player leaves for the pros, at some point the agent will take over the financial support and the boosters stop giving the player money.
