It happens in a lot of places, no doubt about that. I think the $EC just carries the reputation for being a lot more obscene about it.

We just believe that if you're gonna do it, you gotta do it right. And besides, Ohio State needs their role models.

While I'm not an Auburn fan, I'm not an Anti-Auburn fan. Alabama fans know that means I like to see Auburn win, except when they play Alabama. Because of that, I say, in earnest, it's a shame that the school and the players NOT in on the grabbing will be the ones that suffer. I watched Bama suffer for almost 10 years for the same stuff, except that it was Fat Phil informing against an Alabama high school coach who attempted to peddle his player to Bama, not a father and his son. But, same situation. And it almost ended the Bama program (NCAA was considering a "Kill" recommendation). This DOES go on, the NCAA and SEC turn a blind eye to it until some coach makes a fuss about it (As stated, usually to try and obtain an advantage on the field). If they investigate this to the extent that it truly goes on, I think it would probably taint the NCAA so bad, the congress would shut the NCAA down. Therefore, don't expect any far reaching investigations (outside of the current flap). The NCAA likes it's paychecks too well for that!!
