I know for a fact that a friend of mine got a scholarship to a large University to play football, in the south east of the states.

But other 'perks' that they offered, which exceded similar inducements from other colleges.
Im sure if it happens so easily at Uni level, than in professinal sport, they must be at least a notion of this too.

oh, i thought you were talking strictly professional
as far as college scholarships go, a lot of athletes go based on facilites and feel for the school
back in the 80's, there were a lot of side deals with boosters(rich alumni, businessmen) giving the star recruits and palyers cash,cars on the side
schools got in loads of trouble, some programs banished, so you dont see that as much
