And it just keeps on coming.
Just when you think this whole college football situation involving
impermissible benefits couldn’t possibly take any more twists and turns,
the wife of a Texas Longhorns football legend goes and makes an impromptu
call to a national radio show.
And, in the process, may have squarely placed her husband’s alma mater in
the crosshairs of the NCAA.
Speaking on Colin Cowherd‘s ESPN radio show Tuesday afternoon, Rachel McCoy
, wife of former UT and current Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy,
went on the record, and probably accidentally, leaked information that
certain, unnamed players at Texas may have willingly received impermissible
benefits while attending the university.
Below is a transcript of McCoy’s rant:
“Regularly it’s just dinner. People in Texas are just being friendly, they
don’t mean anything by it at all. They don’t realize realize most of the
time it’s a violation. At Texas you’re taught to take absolutely nothing,
I don’t care if it’s a hot dog or soda.
“But you’ve got guys, grown adult men with law degrees – educated men –
what are they going to gain out of this? It’s to say, ‘Hey, I bought so
and so dinner, hey I took so and so to do this’ … It’s grown men and
their pride.
“You cannot expect 19-20 year old kids to say no to free stuff when they’
re in college … It’s hard, I think, for a lot of these guys to even know
to say, ‘I can take this, I can’t take this, nobody’s going to know, will
someone find out?’ Things that could be handed to you that seem so minor
– a dinner, a hunt, a fishing trip – most kids don’t even realize are
illegal.
“I know Colt was approached quite a bit [by agents] but I saw so many of
his teammates who didn’t have some of that self control to say no to
somebody … it’s hard, because you have adults who you respect and who you
think will know what’s right and wrong … when you have adults promising
things and offering things …
McCoy later responded with this tweet:
“Great point @ESPN_Colin to hold “grown ADULT boosters accountable in all
this NCAA violation stuff. “Quit being leeches” AGREED!!“
The validity of McCoy’s comments are still yet to be determined (although
the validity of her attractiveness isn’t), but there’s no doubt this could
prompt the NCAA to pull the ‘ol “Well, we’ll just have a quick look”.
And, as in most cases involving the NCAA, they won’t leave until they find
something. | b*****a
