My only take is that college athletics are corrupt as they come. I honestly don’t know how ANY coach can monitor the dirty things that go on. Do most turn their heads if they do? Hell yes they do. If I found a Texas recruit or current player and offered them money or service, do you think they are turning it down? Some morally sound kids might, but your inner city athletes that don’t have much nor come from much aren’t batting an eye taking it. Would Herman know? Nope.
I will say this. I DO believe that programs that are or were in the shadows of other schools are schools that I believe might take a risk to go over the top to try and climb above a rival or if they are a great team don’t want to get passed by a rival shady things might happen. I do not approve of what Jackie did. I don’t think this current allocation will amount to squat.
