There are also escorts provided, or they were back in the late 80's anyway. I'm sure it's no longer being done

I was not a football player in high school but I was close friends with a lot of players. So one day two of my player friends called and wanted me to give them a ride to UK to meet their "hostesses", provided by UK as part of their recruiting visits. Well what I learned during the evening was really an eye opener. The hostesses were paid for by UK in that they put these two female students, and I was told there are several more, up in a fancy condo near the south side of campus, everything paid for, and all they had to do was take care of recruits when they visit. One was a med student and the other a marketing major, and they were stunningly beautiful. The two guys I took up there did nothing but have sex for several hours in two of the bedrooms while I played cards and talked to a 3rd gorgeous student/roommate/hostess who filled me in on everything.

Hmm...Maybe we need a Tim Tebow type. He would probably have the escorts bowing in prayer and holding up John 3:16 signs.. Then if he could rally the whole team like Tebow did and had the FB talent...we could go far.

It seems that you are suggesting that UK ran a whore house Is that correct? Oh pardon me a call girl operation. Anyway you look at it that is a play for pay operation. I call BS on your post.

Tennessee got in trouble for it a few years ago under Kiffin. Its definitely a common SEC practice. I'm sure it is elsewhere as well.

Also it wasn't a whore house, it was a hostess condo.

That's your prerogative to call BS if you want. I was the one with a 6 8" 250 lb OL (ended up signing with WKU) and a 6 6" 220 lb TE (signed with UK) in the back seat of my 82 Trans Am rolling up I-75 in 1988. I was the one who had to repair their car because the tires rubbed the fender wells the whole way up there and back with half a Texas steer in the back. I was the one who had to try to talk to a hot med student studying for finals for two hours with moaning and groaning echoing through the place. I suppose the girls had freewill whether to have sex or take them on a tour of campus, but both of these gals were sitting on these guys laps making out within 10 minutes of meeting them for the first time ever. And those dudes weren't exactly sexy QB's a girl can't resist, they personified the term big uglies in every way. Plus, the med student spilled the beans about everything, so it's not a theory what it was all about it's cold hard facts.

So you're a stunning coed in the 80's and you get offered a deal where you get a free luxury condo with all the perks, cash, food, clothing etc., and all you have to do is host a few recruits a year with a wink wink nudge nudge show them a really really good time, only if you have it in your heart. What you gonna do, say take this sweetest deal ever and shove it, I will just go live the poor life in my cracker box dorm?

[/QUOTE] I think some of the women's organizations frowned on this and brought this practice some unwanted publicity. But at one time I think just about every school had a group of girls that hosted HS prospects when they came to campus. I know UGA did and the were called the Georgia Girls, Had a couple of former students, who happned to be lookers, who were members. I don't know if UGA had the condo's set up like you are saying but I don't know that they didn't either. That group is disbanded now but if I were a recruit it would have been a highlight of my visit. Getting wooed by a girl who otherwise wouldn't have have poured water on me if my hair was on fire.

The underbelly of "commitment" -- verbal or otherwise. Amazing there are not even more flips as kids shop around for the best deal, or why they might want to take all their visits and "enjoy the process." And here I thought they were just trying to make the best decision for their education/future.....

You know this stuff is still going on at many of the traditional powers across the SEC. You want to be a big time program? You have to be willing to do what other programs won't. I'd be willing to bet that most teams consistently in the Top 10 nationally have a "benefits program" in place to get the edge they need in recruiting. Just the way things are.
