Go on campus to all the big schools and look out for the really nice cars and quite a few are the athletes at the school. The great players don't go to class and have papers written for them. The situation is completely out of control and nobody seems to be doing anything to get it under control so you might as well accept it. Boosters and schools will buy recruits/players anything they want as long as they produce. Julio Jones's mom drove a brand new white cadillac cts with a specialized license plate with something like juliosmom (too long, I know but you get the point) and I'm pretty sure she was on welfare for most of Julio's childhood. Sammy Watkins at Clemson drives a car $80,000+ with 24 inch rims, according to my friend who goes there. I'm sure it was the money he saved up over the summer though. I've had multiple people from Virginia Tech's athletic department say Michael Vick didn't go to a single class during his time at Tech. It's just how college football is now-a-days and it's not going to change as long as it makes that ridiculous sums of cash. The NCAA knows it, they just come down when somebody is going to break a story about a school so they give out a punishment to make it look like they are still a wholesome organization that is "looking out" for the players. Once something leaks to the press and everyone hears about it, the NCAA finally steps in. They don't actually care as long as they are bathing in the money they get from exploiting student athletes. It's a joke but it's not going to change unless something monumental happens, which I doubt anytime soon. [/QUOTE]
