    This quote's been making the rounds on the 'Net in the last day or so:

    quote: "They take care of you down there," McCoy said. "I know from my brother they keep your pockets full, give you plenty of money, keep feeding you meals. Besides that all the help they give you with football. They keep you on your grades with private tutoring. Just good all-around."

    Yeah I've read that quote a bunch of places. It came from this article.

    A&M Recruit forgets rule on talking about the Money


    The interesting thing is that the writer would put that in his article. That immediately tells you he's not an Aggie fan. If it were me and a kid said something like that I'd stop him and tell him that he just seemingly admitted to a NCAA violation to a reporter. I'd let him explain himself to me and warn him he'd better be carefull when talking to reporters. I doubt I would print it myself, if I had it on tape I might be tempted to send a copy to Coach Fran so he can either do a better job of covering up his payments or something.
