Former UK assistant accused of paying players at Texas A&M

Another day and another potential college football scandal. This time it’s Texas A&M.

Former Aggie (now at Arizona) Santino Marchiol is spilling the beans on new A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher and how he operates his program. USA Today’s Dan Wolken has the story, and boy, is it interesting.

Marchiol red-shirted at A&M last season and was willing to give Fisher a chance this year, but decided to transfer after a handful of incidents took place between him and the coaching staff.

Because he was a red-shirt, Marchiol would have to sit out a year at Arizona and lose a year of eligibility.
