Had an interesting conversation with a former SEC football player
about players getting paid. He said that most of the money that players get from boosters or whomever, goes back home to their mother or grandmother for things like what we saw in the Tunsil text messages. He told me of a story about one player that got like $2500.00 after a big game back in 2000. He said the player sent $1500.00 back home with his mom and he kept $1000.00. I know it isn't right by the letter of the NCAA's law, but not all of these guys are tpos that blow through the money, some actually look out for their loved ones. It's not, nor it should be, a child's responsibility to take care of a household, but some circumstances are not in their control. I commend Tunsil for looking out for his mom, it is obvious his pos step dad wasn't.
