"Everybody knows everybody's getting paid," Ball said of college athletes. "That's just how it is. Everybody's getting paid anyway, you might as well make it legal. That's how I feel."

The documents, obtained by Yahoo Sports, show records kept by sports agency ASM that indicate payments of several thousand dollars to more than 20 players.

"He's in the NBA now," Ball said. "He really don't care. Whatever happened is in the past. Now he's just living life."

Ball said he didn't accept money from agents while in school because his father, LaVar, wasn't interested. Ball's father had already started a family business, Big Baller Brand.
