Below is, in my humble opinion, the BEST series that SB Nation has done ever(SBN>ESPN). Over 4 parts, it follows the intersecting stories of an NFL Draft Night $8 million sabotage, the deeply segregated South, and money being paid under the table to recruits. It is FASCINATING and HAUNTING.

I got around to starting this series and it kind of reinforces how baffling big league college sports are to me, especially when I still hear people defending them as more pure over the NFL. Honestly, at least the NFL is glaringly corporate as opposed to dragging down education in their attempts to look clean.
