The Corbin stuff is legendary....Im talking SMU and the Pony Express type stuff. Alvarez, Price, De la Osa, Minor, Rote....the list goes on and on.
It starts with money handouts, grade fixing, scholarship money, and goes on and on. The scholarship money, IMO, is almost laughable that they get away with it. Think about it.....Vandy is on the same scholly limitations that everyone else is @ 11.7. Yet, the cost to go to school there is basically triple any other SEC school. Now, being private, there are some leadership schollies and things they can offer, but even if a kid like Alvarez qualifies for a full Pell Grant, how does he get in Vandy? His grades weren't good enough. He comes from little to no money. And when he signed, he got a little over 50%. Later is his career he had a bigger number, but the numbers simply don't add up.
I know guys in pro ball who literally laugh about it.....these kids tell these pro guys EVERYTHING. They know what kind of money is being manipulated up there.
