I saw a biography about Deon Sanders a few years ago. It said that we grew up kinda poor and his mom would take him to wealthy neighborhoods to see the houses.
Later in the story, they show Deon...who was a student athlete at Florida State driving a (new body style) Chrystler Labaron convertible with a car phone (mind you a car phone in the 80's was a HUGE deal). The body style car he was drive came out in 1987 and he left Florida State in 1988.
He also started wearing a lot of gold before he left Florida State. Not as much gold as he did after he signed his NFL contract.
What gives? How can a "poor" or even middle-class kid have a new car with a car phone and a ton of gold without some help?

it is wrong that it is illegal. the system makes millions upon millions on these guys. they have all kinds of restrictions on them. where they can or cant work, hoe many hours they cna work etc. if reggie was a gifted software program writer on scholarship instead of a fotball player he coud ask and get anything he wanted from future empoyers and leverage his skills to benefit himself while still in school and it would be ok. why cant the athlete benefit while in college?

Stuff like this happens all the time. It depends who gets caught. Bush is (or appears to be) getting caught because a business deal went bad, and it was a HOUSE. Kinda hard to 'splain away that one.

I'd think so. Most college players would take free money and gifts if they were given.
