Butch Davis' defense rings hollow

Posted Oct 13, 2010
As long as college sports make millions, unpaid athletes will listen. As long as pro sports make billions, agents will make enough to take a flyer on prospective clients. There will be guys around campuses betting a few C-notes on 3 percent of forever. Unlike horses, college athletes don't love to run for free. That is a truth so inescapable that Butch Davis besmirched his greatest work to avoid speaking it in public, and many other coaches will soon proclaim similar ignorance. (ESPN.com)
