And dont miss this: Texas Senate candidate Craig James -- the former college star and ESPN commentator -- admitted to accepting payments when he played at SMU, which ultimately received the NCAAs death penalty. The Houston Chronicle writes, [H]e concedes he did wrong as a football player at Southern Methodist University where he accepted illegal handouts from school boosters. The amount he accepted was insignificant, declining to tell reporters how much he took during his playing days in the 1980s. He spoke cryptically of $20 handshakes. More: I didnt have the maturity to turn it away, James said, adding he did not really know that it was wrong at the time. By the way, football players admitting to taking money in college is kinda like baseball players finally admitting they took performance-enhancing drugs. Everyone knows they did it even as they deny it. And when they finally admit it, it only stains the ENTIRE game. For James, this VERY late confession means he starts his campaign with a character issue.
