I wasn't one of them but there are a lot of D-1 kids that play D-2 either because of grades, or getting kicked out of a D-1 and not wanting to transfer. We played North Alabama and when they had Terry Bowden as the HC and most of his starters were D-1 rejects for various reasons but not because of talent.

Big time D-1 guys transfer to D-2 so they don't have to sit out and usually only stay long enough to go pro. There is a lot of talent in D-2 and you can easily get an NFL if you have the skills and/or speed.

When Terry Bowden was hired in 1993 to coach Auburn, he was a bright and audacious young (mid-30s) coach eager to make his legendary father proud and make a name for himself.

Everything changed within his first week. An assistant coach from the previous staff, whom Bowden was told he had to retain, walked into his office and placed a black ledger on his desk. It was a list of players who were being paid.

This is how we do it around here, Bowden was told.

Bowden told the assistant coach, “Pay off the players that were promised and never do it again.”
