But I don't buy that this is why we can't get recruits because paying college athletes has been going on forever. I know this because I have family members who played D1 sports and could tell you plenty of stories of pay for play.. some schools used to get caught, but most didn't.

The only difference now is that it is public knowledge and not being done under the table, so now we as fans have insight on it and pass judgment. But money has always been around so it can't be an excuse to not be able to bring in players at MSU.. we aren't that bottom of the barrel as some try to say we are.
There is more competition in the marketplace now than its ever been.
