Most of them before the 85 scholarship limit when Nebraska had 300 football players on scholarship. Amazing how the Cornshucker program went into the toilet when they couldn't stockpile 4 and 5 star running backs 8 deep in the depth chart.

Of course, USC nowadays had the best team in NCAA football that money can buy. It's amazing how much rule breaking you can get away with in the L.A. Market.

Hey, what's that Heisman trophy winner Eric Crouch up to these days?
