[QUOTE="bobongo, post: 446280, member: 3893"] I googled him, but couldn't find anything relating to his being paid while in college. Not saying he wasn't, but could you elaborate or provide a link? There was a reference to his scoring 500 on the SAT, 100 over the minimum at that time. With that score, his admission wouldn't be even remotely possible today. He was said to be barely literate after two years at Tech even though he had extensive tutoring (he took mainly phys. ed. and non-required liberal arts courses, again not possible today). This was over 30 years ago. I know his was a sad story, from great promise on the court to a janitor's job and eventually being shot and killed in a drug deal gone bad. As a fan, I am not proud about his admission to Tech or his lack of progress. Such should never happen again, and is now thankfully impossible. But I couldn't find anything about his being paid under the table or anything like that. [/QUOTE]
