Just watched "Foul Play: Paid to Play in Mississippi"


Aug 7, 2019, 1:51 PM

It's a 3 part series on YouTube about the Ole Miss recruiting scandals and how it evolved. Shows how dirty it was and who brought them down. It was very interesting. Good watch if you have 1.5hrs to kill.

Make sure you start with the Battle for Top Recruits, then YouTube will load the others in order.

Same guy is working on a docuseries about the basketball shoe scandals but that hasn't fully played out yet.

It might be 4 part if that is Episode 1, they referred to Tunsil several times throughout, but I didn't realize that is where it started.

Definitely worth the watch if you are a college football fanatic like myself.

absolutely hates college football and hates the South.

Not saying he is wrong, but he definitely produces it through a lense of dumb southern redneck college football fans.

I get so tired of hearing people like this guy in the video say these kids get "nothing". These kids have hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in them so to say they get nothing is absolutely unbelievable. I would be scared to even put a percentage out there but it would be very high that without football these kids aren't even in college. Now we can have a talk about what a college education is worth in the real world but regardless these kids are exposed to opportunities they could have only dreamed of without football. Sorry tangent over just get tired of the whole they get nothing argument.

Yes I agree, they were definitely misleading the average person in regards to what Student Athlete's get in terms of free education, room and board plus free tutoring, healthcare, clothing etc. But they all get monthly stipends nowadays as well. Clemson football players are getting close to $500 per month, non-taxable dollars after all expenses are paid. That's more than a lot of working people have after all of their monthly expenses are paid.
