Don't mean to be a name dropping loser, but I'm pretty good friends with Destin Hood. He insinuated that most legit recruits/contributors get taken care of pretty well.
I still kick myself for never asking about details. Although, it's probably information that I don't need to know.

At Alabama? 0% tBeacon.
At Alabama's rivals: 100%. Even the long snapper at UT is probably getting paid.

A story that I heard about the legendary Johnny Vaught at Ole Miss that involved Archie Manning.
According the story that was told, Vaught was in the room when the Saints and Archie started their negotiation. As they started to negotiate, the Saints' rep wrote a number on a piece of paper and slid it across the table. Vaught reached for it before anyone. After seeing the number, he looked at the Saint's rep and said, "Hell son, he made more than that playing for us."
Then he proceeded to leave the room. Was that just a tactic? Probably, but it sure is funny as hell.

In college I lived in a house with 3 scholarship football players at Tennessee. One was a very high profile starter and another was a starter as well. Both families were pretty well off, but none of them were receiving payments or under the table cash.
However they did get almost every meal free when we would eat out off campus.
