Patrick Peterson - Pay for Play

[antame]

It's probably one of those things that, in and of itself, might not get you in big trouble.

But lying about it will :eek:

I doubt it, and as logic1977 suggests, I'd be surprised if NFL teams even venture toward the question, unless they want to disqualify the top 5,365 (give or take) players in the draft. I mean, I'd hope any NFL personnel in a position to influence their team's draft pick would almost take it as a given that prospects were compensated outside of NCAA regs while in school.

By the way, who did Peterson allegedly lie to about taking money?

from that article:

I never received nor was I offered anything to go to LSU and anyone saying otherwise is being dishonest.

Fair enough, and he's probably lying.

Yeah. Best to say nothing...who advises these guys?

it's not the money that I care about but lying about taking it... though more importantly, if he lied to any teams or not.
