A new book by CBS' Armen Keteyian and SI's Jeff Benedict, "The System", is promising to be a deep look into college football's seedy underbelly. One chapter deals with claims by Texas A&M's Ricky Seals-Jones about his recruiting process. He and his family claim a "top-20" school offered $300k in cash, a luxury suite plus eight season tix, and $1k and $500 a month for Ricky and his family. Even when an ACC and an SEC school offered to double any offer, the family refused out of principle (that, and they were afraid they'd get caught).
Other chapters deal with claims of Tennessee paying co-eds to influence high school recruits with "pseudo romantic relationships", and Missouri's use of female students for "lightly supervised" tutoring of football players.
Kick-off's Thursday! Are you ready?
