We have to be far more selective in who we pay under the table.

Several years ago I read We Own This Game: The Adult World Of Youth Football. It was about Pop Warner football in Florida. I came to understand why Florida, Florida State and Miami football players expect to be paid under the table. It starts in Pop Warner down there.

Yes it does. Sad really. There were a bunch of arrests made a couple of years ago that broke up a bookmaking operation that handled thousands of dollars a week worth of bets on youth football. There were even some coaches involved. Kids get recruited from one program to another with cash payoffs. It's the Wild West.
