Chris Simms: 'I may have gotten a few $100 handshakes' at Texas

Simms said he "may have gotten a few
$100 handshakes" during his time in the
Texas Longhorns football program.


To indirectly tell secrets or offenses to a person of authority or any person meant to be kept away from a secret or offense, sometimes inadvertently. If the telling of secrets or offenses is purposeful, minute details are usually left out as not to appear to be directly telling. — Urban Dictionary’s definition of ‘Dry Snitching’

What happens in the back alleys of college football should stay in those alleys. It is like Las Vegas, but with even more corruption, greed and money funneling. Players get handouts -- at least some of them do -- at certain colleges. Most fan bases pretend it only happens at rival institutions. Fans outside the SEC love spelling it $EC. However, very few players ever talk about what happens behind closed doors.

Chris Simms broke that rule. The former University of Texas quarterback was filling in as a guest host on CBS Sports’ Tiki and Tierney on Wednesday when he decided it was a good time to snitch and said this:


"They didn't pay me, but there may have been cash going around to some other players. I'm not going to deny that. I may have gotten a few $100 handshakes every now and then to sign some autographs for alumni."

the point is he is trying very hard to get a fledgling broadcast career of the ground.

Kinda like when he tried to get his professional football career off the ground. Ain't happening.
He didn't need the money considering he grew up affluent with a silver spoon poking out of his ***.
 
I am sure his pops probably called him also. I think he took too many hits to the head.
 
not surprising, this and much more goes on all over the country at all the programs to even include smaller schools. Its ridic. Even coaches that want to run clean programs can't because they can't constantly monitor 100 players and 4 million boosters constantly offering the players freebies.
Paying players isn't going to make it any different. The NCAA itself is even more tainted and corrupt so its always amusing to see that big hypocrite throw down punishment.
Not sure how to stop it. I hate to say it as I live college football but disallowing schools that take federal money (i.e. ALL of them) to allocate any more money to one sport (football) than other sports would really put a hurt on it.
