(31,261 posts)When I was a freshman in college, I had an assistant coach talk to me about walking on to the football team, of course other suggestions were made about pulling strings for me when I told what I was setting up to study there. I had freshman required PE with two football recruits, one became a pretty good NFL player, I did ok in the running and throwing drills relative to them, the assistant coach was the class instructor. If I had fell for the sham and things blew up, then I should have been kicked out. But say my parents were rich and the coach was paid to approach me before I even left high school and I knew nothing about what was going on, if I took the offer and things blew up, I should have gotten a slap on the wrist for lack of questioning about what was going on, but otherwise be allowed to continue school as long as my grades met standards.
