Too much crap like this going on and these guys get inflated heads like they can do anything. Thing is they are smart, they know they help get the butts into seats and make the universities millions, and the universities will look the other way if they screw up. Even a lot that do get nailed get let off easy. Univ of Michigan is one of the worst for that stuff. So much for higher learning.

No question the fab five were taking handouts. But who is worse. The guys taking the handouts? Or the boosters that are preying on young college students who have no money?
