Literally Broke College Students

College sports have been around for ever, but so have scandals. in 1984 Vaccaro helped Michael Jordan promote his sneaker line and ended up started to open other peoples eyes with big money signs. Today some of the biggest scandals we hear about on T.V are about college athletes getting paid under the table from agents to try to get them persuaded to go to a certain team and will except money, houses cars and clothes. Reggie Bush, a Hisemen winner had to give back his trophy erased from history of college football legends and striped all of his records because he was found guilty for excepting bribes under the table from agents his senior year in college. even though he was the one who did it and he was accused for his actions the school he played for, University of Southern California, (USC) was striped fifteen scholarships the following season and was banned to compete in ANY bowl game for five years they also are not allowed to compete in conference championships. Bowl games bring in a lot of revenue for schools and their conference.
