I know of some Rice players who were getting paid. As a matter of fact, Rice was known to have the most ΓÇ£depthΓÇ¥ of payments, going as far as 3rd team players in some cases. I would bet Rodrigo Barnes could verify this.Terry Webster wrote:Mexmustang wrote:What bothers me the most, is how selective everyone's memory is. SMU was not alone, in paying players. I Was watching 365 Sports (the Baylor radio/sports show). People forget, even before the sex scandal, in the same years we were paying players, TCU was penalized, they dismissed their -recruiting coordinator, who then ended up almost immediately at Baylor. Texas had its ticket re-repurchase plan between players and alumni and they had the dedicated sponsor to take care of individual players, gas, tires, meals, etc. And we all know about A&M, didn't they buy a recruit a TransAm once?
Listening to these bozo's you would have thought we were the only team in the SWC cheating. It's really funny how quickly those Baptists become holier than thou.
I think it is safe to say that Rice was the only SWC school that wasn't doing this/
