I would say it's probably not as rampant as one might think.   The issue is how to classify the money that's put into one's pocket.  My guess is, he broke a major taboo.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
I knew a guy that worked at Dillons who thought he uncovered a huge conspiracy when Ell Roberson came in and cashed a check from Kansas State University.

I'd say the exact opposite.
I'm telling you, this is not ANYTHING like the team from the beginning of conference play. You will see no more blowouts like what happened in OOC.  If we lose, it will not because these kids gave up, and it will be at the buzzer. -Rodless, before 97-70

OK, what proof do you have to suggest that?
