Good read from a former agent about paying players.

There used to be a joke in the industry that if you saw a college player driving a Datsun 280Z, then you could forget about signing him. It was widely known Doc had a hookup at a Datsun dealership in Southern California.
:surprised:
-
A Datsun 280Z?? We're talking mid 1970's.

Doc had known Tony since he was a little kid and had represented his uncle, former USC and NFL linebacker Chip Banks. We paid Tony several hundred dollars a month.
Selby has known Frazier all of his life. Nothing shady could be going on.

Yea that little nugget wasn't really applicable to current players but I thought it was hilarious that people took Datsun's as bribes in college. Don't know if I beleive half of what he wrote but it did throw alot of people under the bus.

That article was a great read. Glad there were no former KSU players involved. Here is a podcast of a radio interview of the sports agent done today:
