The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has a problem, and it is known as "The Bag Man." On April 10, 2014, Steven Godfrey, a writer for SB Nation, published a long-form article entitled "Meet the Bag Man: How to Buy College Football Players, In the Words of a Man who Delivers the Money." In it, Mr. Godfrey discussed how groups of fans known as "shadow boosters" or "bag men" have been arranging cash payments to ameteur football players. According to the article, the problem is not exclusive to one college team. Rather, Mr. Godfrey maintains that networks of "bag men" operate at various colleges and metropolitan areas throughout the SEC's geographic realm.
An animated YouTube video from Tomo News, that I found via Bleacher Report earlier today, effectively summarizes the main points of Godfrey's article. It is available for your viewing below:
