per CBS:
In recent years, the college football world has seen its fair share of autograph scandals, whether with Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M or last year with Todd Gurley at Georgia. But it's hardly a recent phenomenon in the sport, as former Texas quarterback Chris Simms attested to on the radio Thursday.
Simms, 34, filled in as a co-host on CBSSports Radio's Tiki and Tierney on Thursday, and he had this to say about his time in Austin from 1999 to 2002.
"They didn't pay me, but there may have been cash going around to some other players," said Simms. "I'm not going to deny that. I may have gotten a few $100 handshakes every now and then to sign some autographs for alumni.
"I don't care how rich your upbringing was. Yes, I grew up with a silver spoon, but if you give me a few extra $100 as a college kid, that's great."
