<p>woah now, you dont have to insult. </p>
<p>but if you say so</p>
<p>Mind* no thanks. Obviously your thinking is skewed so any effort to educate you would be a waste.</p>
<p>so basically their was no situation?</p>
<p>no idea how your friend got enough money for a BMW, but every school tries to make playing for the school as ideal as possible. and no, your friend probably will not play. my friend got recruited by many schools our senior year but decided to go to penn state. he was the #2 kicker in the nation his senior year, too. did he play last season? nope. there’s always someone else.</p>
<p>yea they made it ideal alright</p>
<p>I didn’t read any responses but there are several players at LSU who have brand new beamers, escalades and challengers. Boosters give players gifts. It’s pretty common.</p>
<p>yea crabtree had a nice whip at Tech</p>
<p>What are boosters? I am not a sports geek</p>
<p>people that support teams(generously), like wealthy people that are diehard texas fans.</p>
<p>Oh wow, that sounds dumb</p>
<p>Where are the boosters that support me to get good grades in school? </p>
<p>Oh thats right…there are none…</p>
<p>Wasted - the closest we have to that is the Texas Exes and the scholarships they give out each year, but it’s definitely not the same types of perks.</p>
<p>pierrechn,</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong being a transfer student. Transfer students are not second class. Everyone’s situation is different.</p>
<p>your parents lol</p>
<p>boosters dont have to pay you, just support you.</p>
<p>College football boosters happen to have money</p>
<p>yea your right theirs nothing wrong with being a transfer, but people like to say “well you got rejected”… i could be a transfer in the future, you never know !</p>
<p>yeah boosters are basically alumni that donate money for power, some boosters have SOME say in coaching decisions. Joe Mcknight of USC who is now a jet got caught driving a escalade from a dealership that a booster owned. I’m sure every school doesn’t follow the rules completely, but whatever, its life.</p>
<p>Yea someone somwhere will bend the rules. 
This world is ran by money…</p>
<p>Just like at TAMU-- the old coach franchione sent out emails to “VIP” boosters of the football program giving them in depth information regarding players injuries and coaching reports on how players were performing in practice. Things that he repeatedly withheld from the press (nothing wrong with that, but getting people to pay $1000+ for an email 12 times a year?..granted people did donate over $1,000, that was just the subscription fee). Same thing happens in Washington. If you give money, you expect you’re voice to be heard and heeded. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles.</p>
<p>WastedxYears, no offense, but when you start being a part of a team that bring millions of dollars to a school as well as notoriety, boosters will start paying you.</p>
<p>Athletes always get the perks lol…</p>
<p>Yes they do, not to mention hs athletes run the school, I was a jock, but I wasn’t great at my sports, I’m going to live my dreams through my son the minute hes born, just like any normal dad should!</p>
<p>there also arent near as many athletes as scholars… and why is it such a bad thing for a UT hopeful to post on this thread. i have a few friends that didn’t get accepted into UT and its slightly offensive and (hopefully) uncharacteristic of UT students to believe you walk on higher ground because you go/went to a public school required to accept top 10/8% kids into their school.</p>
