re: Had an interesting conversation with a former SEC football player

He did send it home to his mom, but I never said that the mom didn't work. Some of you are so out of touch with reality that it is amazing.

The premise of my original response was that one of the biggest, and most frequent, defenses to players taking money is that they send it back home to help their families.

My question was: why is this so often the case (such as Tunsil paying his mom's utility bill)? Hoe many gainfully employed adults rely on their college-attending kids to pay their most basic bills?
