Former @TexasFootball QB @CSimmsQB says he received "$100 handshakes" from athletic department boosters while playing at Texas. Surprised?

So not as bad as most everyone would have guessed?

Why the hell were the boosters giving the super rich kid money? That is my question

If you actually listened to the interview, it wasn't even that bad.

He basically said it wasn't from well-connected people or 'real' boosters. His example was of signing 10 jerseys for a guy who says thanks, then shakes the hand with a hundred.

There was a story about Les Miles' tenure at OSU

Basically allowed "select" boosters to tour the locker rooms during games.

The article alleged some of those boosters would leave cash in the lockers of the players who had an outstanding game

Cheap bastards. Probably explains why they've sucked for so long.


Anybody that thinks this doesn't go on at any big name school is completely naive. This is hardly news.

I mean I thought Texas boosters would be giving them mineral rights and such.

Hell, they made him sign jerseys to get the measly $100.

He was rich and sucked so he got 100 bucks, like the walk-ons.

The good ones were getting trucks and fat envelopes in their lockers.

Rumor has it that his Dad had to lobby Mack Brown to let him do this interview. Original guest was Major Applewhite.

$100 handshakes are better than $100 handjobs
