Former Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Marquis Johnson and defensive tackle Terrence Cody reportedly may have been paid for their autographs while still in college.
On Monday, Khadrice Rollins of Sports Illustrated cited a story by colleague Luke Winn which reported the members of the 2009 BCS national championship winning team "are among a group of players named who allegedly received cash for signing Alabama memorabilia."
Winn's piece pointed to Cliff Panezich and Adam Bollinger, who sold sports memorabilia, and noted they spent time around the Crimson Tide in 2009 while the players were on winter break.
