Easy on the eyes, tough on boosters.

Great point @ESPN_Colin to hold "grown ADULT boosters accountable in all this NCAA violation stuff. "Quit being leeches" AGREED!!
There's actually nothing THAT scandalous or incriminating here, but the inexactitude of her comments - alternating between speaking of her experience with Colt vs a broader commentary on kiss-ass leeching boosters; pointing out that players are aware of what is and isn't proper and at the same time holding that they aren't sure; along with her theory that college age males have to respond to agents (and the insinuation that some of Colt's teammates did) because it's respectful of authority - makes for some fodder that looks bad for Texas.
At least for the five hours of news cycle that this will be passed around and quickly forgotten.
I agree with her assessment of booster-sycophant types, but calling a national radio show to hold forth and throw Texas, even if unwittingly, under the bus is really ill-advised. Some boosters do indeed feed their pride based on their association with high profile athletes, but how exactly does she think she got on Colin Cowherd? Just a random caller who luckily made it through the caller queue?
So what did that call feed in her?
I'm guessing something healthy and low-carb. We're putting you in Pilates time out until you repent for your crimes, Rachel.
