Serious question for the rant. Do the football players get paid?

I've always wondered about this. Everyone says they do, but I think that would be such a hard thing to cover up. Do you think the major programs today pay their players?

No. They just get donations to church.

Yes, I've seen the handshakes . All schools do it, but it can come with just handshakes, big ones...

I'm sure at most major schools, the good players get the special treatment.

I think it is just mostly a matter of getting them introduced to the right people. The coaches purposely choose not to know what happens out of their sight.

Make a big play in a big game and u will most definitely get an envelope under your front door.

There are very few things they want they don't get. Colt McCoy's wife, if the burnt orange media didn't destroy it, called in to Cowherd, and basically listed all the benefits players got.
