[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2289977, member: 3371"] If you check you will find that Thayer Evans is NOT a writer on the staff of SI. He is an independent writer/contractor. What I think happened is this: Thayer Evans created the concept of the story, conducted the interviews, transcribed the interviews into a hodgepodge of anecdotal stories favorable to his objective([I]while ignoring anecdotal stories unfavorable to his objective[/I]) and then he sold that crap to SI. SI put Dohrmann's name on it to make it sound credible without any fact checking at all, not even a pretense, and published it. Now, do I think it's all crap, lock stock and barrel? NO Do some college players get paid by boosters? sure. Do some college players get do-nothing jobs? sure. That probably happens at every top-30 school in the country. Do boosters, or coaches, hand out envelopes of cash to players in the locker room, in front of a 100 other witnesses?:laugh6: Does that happen on the plane back in front of dozens of other witnesses?:laugh6: [/QUOTE]
