$100 handshakes at Texas

Says Chris Simms.

If a former UNC player were to say something like that, Jay Smith and Mary Wilingham would demand all sports be shut down, and a host of idiots woud oppose that extremism by hiring a former Fed prosecutor to dman the UNC athletics department.

Probably has something to do with a lot of these guys not being able to handle the lack of attention after their careers end.

Some love to boast about getting away with stuff - as long as they cannot suffer the consequences.

$100 handshakes have been happening at big-time programs for 30+ years. I know for a fact, it happened on the 1980 UGA national championship team. To me, not a huge deal. But then again, amateurism is a dumb concept to me.
