I heard Santana was a walk on at the U. Any of you know if this is true or not?

Umm, I think I remember hearing that he got a scholarship for track but joined the football team and decided it was a better career option. I'd say he made a pretty damn good decision.

Yes. Technically he was, but I think it was understood that he would play football out of high school, but running track is where he got the money.

He was Big East Champion in the 200 I think. One of those sprints he won, and I think Antonio Brown came in second at West Virginia.

Nope.

Butch Davis arrived at Miami about the time they were hit with massive probation. A ton of good players got scholarships for academic standing, track, and such then basically played a bit in the other sport while focusing on football.

Also, Moss owns a couple Big East indoor track records.
