Top 10 College Football Illegal Benefits Moments

Agents, runners, parents, etc. Illegal benefits come in all shapes and forms. No matter what you think in terms of college athletes being paid or not, the bottom line is that it's not allowed. There are 120 FBS football teams and teams with at least 60 plus players that have gone through the various programs. At least one person on every team is getting some type of illegal benefit, and for the thousands that get broke off and don't get caught...there are always a few that do get caught, and their usually high profile superstars.

10. Mike Williams USC 2004

Mike was actually flying by the straight and narrow when he declared for the NFL draft in 2004. Maurice Clarrett had fought NFL's mandatory three years out of high school eligibility rule and won. So Mike figured it was cool to declare, get an agent, and live the good life...until the NFL appealed and won. Williams was ineligible because he signed with an agent and had to sit out a season.

9. Dez Bryant OSU 2009

Although Dez didn't technically take a benefit. There were suspicions that he had been taking illegal benefits from Deion Sanders. Those suspicions (bullshit if you ask me) led to an interview with NCAA investigators where Dez nutted up, lied, got busted and suspended for the season.
