Having lived in Texas for several years, read how the airports in Austin and College Station (and other cities), were awash in private jets flying in for a Saturday game. If one looks at the dates above Script's great post, you might notice they read 2005, which indicates this has been happening for awhile. It's really 'always about the Benjamins', and with NIL, is now legal. Read somewhere that Texas benefactors have told Sarkesian that they had a top notch safety that needed a scholarship offer, and to sign him. Not entirely certain that could be considered 'real news', or fake. Do know that contributors have gotten coaches fired, or hired, with donations made for this specific purpose. Heck, how much do we really know about Les Wexner 'controls' at tOSU? Did he get Kristine Johnson canned? Would be a great read if one brave reporter/writer would do an indepth on this issue or topic. Also believe that these guys move in the shadows (some want the pub however), but mostly are puppet masters, pulling the strings. Great topic, Script. PS, am betting that Silicon Valley money directs Stanford's path, but hasn't ever made its appearance on the gridiron. Go Bucks!
