re: I guess AU needs to pay more for their players.

Seeing as they already got scholly monies to help pay for things like housing, and they couldn't make that work, it does not hold that just because these guys couldn't pay rent proves that they didn't get illicit payments either.

I'm not saying they did get illegal payments, only that your logic doesn't completely add up. Add this to the fact that many athletes will get a million or even millions and still end up broke in the future, and we begin to recognize that just because somebody's broke doesn't mean they didn't get paid, or even paid a lot.
