complicated YahooSports! story that says players & their families who went to BCS schools admit to being offered up to $600,000 to go to those schools...

"... a Texas commit who wound up signing with Texas A&M last February, and
his family open themselves up to the entire process. The juiciest part is an
alleged offer to the Jones family from a "top-20 program" ??“ not A&M ??“ for
the following: $300,000 in cash, use of a luxury suite during football season,
eight season tickets and $1,000 per month for Ricky and $500 for the family.

"Oh, it was higher than that," Chester Jones, Ricky's dad said. "It was a lot
higher than that." Chester Jones said the offers grew as high as $600,000 for
his son's signature on a national letter of intent ??“ one SEC school and one
ACC school said they'd double any offer ??“ but he declined them all out of
principle and the fear of inevitably getting caught.

There's more, lots more...."

No surprise. The entire process is a joke in football and basketball. Major schools can do whatever they want, without much worry about consequences
