I heard about this going on at UCLA when I was there in 1988-1989. I heard about the pimping out of black football players to rich boosters.
This was talked about among the faculty and how little respect they had for faculty members who engaged in this.
The faculty who assisted in the pimping out of black athletes regarded the athletes as dumb animals.
I know this pimping is common in college sports.
College kids usually have no money. Athletes are frequently stupid. Rich men have money. Young people with no money and few brains and morals are often happy to have sex for money. Men with money are often happy to spend some money to get the sex they want.
If college athletes were paid, they might be less likely to turn tricks.
It sounds like this went on at Penn State too:
In April, Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden wrote a story revealing Penn State for much of the cover-up of Jerry Sandusky’s alleged child rape that has been exposed in the past week. While it didn’t raise many eyebrows back then, six months later it looks to be incredibly accurate.
On Thursday morning, just hours after legendary head coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired by the school’s board of trustees, Madden was asked on The Dennis and Callahan Show what he believes the next piece of news will be.
What he said was twice as shocking as anything that’s been released thus far.
“I can give you a rumor and I can give you something I think might happen,” Madden told John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. “I hear there’s a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation — and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can — that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak.”
After the news spread, Madden later explained via Twitter why he went public with the rumors.
“I normally abhor giving RUMORS credence,” Madden wrote. “But whole Sandusky scandal started out as a RUMOR. It gets deeper and more disgusting all the time. One of state’s top columnists investigating. That adds credence. I am NOT rumor’s original source. [Why does] Sandusky deserve benefit of doubt?”
