This is just way too funny. Tyler Bray told reporters that "he gets paid to win football games," then backtracked and said "getting paid" meant his education. Love the SEC
I think the SEC could hand out school-printed pamphlets on the compensation scale offered to recruits and the NCAA wouldn't notice.
Michigan: 903–315–36 (Best in NCAA)
vs Ohio State: 58-44-6
vs Notre Dame: 23-16-1
vs MSU: 68-32-5
vs B1G: 522-197-24
vs SEC: 20-8-1
vs PAC 12: 48-24-1
vs Big 12: 10-5-1<
Is it a violation if you get paid to win games and don't win any games?
Go Blue!
It isn't a violation at all, they just might not get paid the following year.

When the winds of changes shift
Not if the payment was actually a donation to your father's church. You can get reinstated, win the heisman, the MNC, and be the first overall pick in the NFL draft in that case.
I don't know about anyone else here, but I would be livid if I was paying Tennessee kids and getting the results they have gotten since easing Phil Fulmer out the door.
To be fair, Bray (and the offense in general) has been pretty stellar. Tennessee has just been suffering from a defensive implosion that makes Gerg look like Greg. Maybe they only pay one side of the ball?
I'll be in Ann Arbor this weekend, I will be dropping large amounts of education on beer.

I think marlin Jackson or Leon hall said something likes this once.

If he is getting paid with an education at UT, then he is making about minimum wage.
Sorry. It is Vandy-UT week. Vandy has won twice in the last 30 years I believe.
simply show up. However, they're about to experience getting paid nothing for losing games. Unfortunate but true.

Is it too late for Tenn to get a refund and money back on their investment. It sure hasn't paid off or worked for them.
Hello Charles Woodson, now give me the ball on offense. - Brent Musburger
20k a year. wonder what he gets?
Warning: My imagination is inefficient.
Sounds like a pretty harmess comment to me, but because it's the SEC, people are bound to pay closer attention to it. Just a poor choice of words by the QB.
it sounds like he was answering a question about whether he was an NFL prospect, and he is quoted as responding, "I couldn't care less. That's what you guys are paid to write about and talk about." I presume he then said, "I'm paid to win games."
So my interpretation is that he mistakenly used the same construction to contrast his role with that of reporters. It's an understandable mistake. Still funny, though, especially his attempt to recover from the gaffe.
He got the short end of that deal. If you get a free education for winning football games at Tennessee then the whole roster's likely paying for college. Should've gone to Auburn, or Arkansas, or Ole Miss, or Mizzou instead. You get a free SEC education for losing, there.
"that's why you don't go to Ohio State, Lawrence"
If only.
I am this close to going all Dark Blue in here.
