Apparently, a couple of $$$-eye basketball players got cars from the same dealership the football players got hooked up at.

Bad times for stinktown.

Interesting:
http://www.law.tulane.edu/tlsAcademicPr ... holarships
According to a 2011 Tulane Law School study, the SEC signed 321 more football players than the Big Ten over the preceding 9-year period. For example, when Ohio State met Arkansas in the 2011 Sugar Bowl, Arkansas had signed 30 more players than OSU in the preceding four years.

According to another study, Alabama cut 21 players in 2010-2011. That's about an extra player at each of the 22 positions on the field.

SEC schools grant one-year scholarships. Big Ten schools grant four-year scholarships for ethical reasons.

In addition to cutting players, SEC schools regularly pull scholarships from incoming players at the last minute, forcing them to "grayshirt" (pay their own way, limited rights, practice-only, and it's too late at that point to transfer because other top programs are full) and hope for a scholarship later.
