[QUOTE="keith99, post: 66550129, member: 211648"] 99.9% of the time that popularity exists because of the school. I'm not saying the school make any player popular, rather that the popularity depends at least as much on the uniform worn and the school's marketing as the ability of the player. Some of the can't take anything is a bad situation, but I have no solution. Under current standards some of the things I did would be a problem. I bought one of the guys a new battery for his car. Got a home cooked meal (who says football players can't cook!) as thanks. Heck he was a fraternity brother. BUT for the 8 years leading up to the time I graduated there was never a time when there was not a member of the Fraternity who had big bucks. Normal friends should be allowed to pick up dinner or drinks at the bar, but how does one tell the difference between a real friendship and a big bucks booster (who just happens to still be a student) providing an illegal benefit?
