Rachel McCoy, who last year married two-time All-American and current Cleveland Browns star Colt McCoy last year, made an apparently unsolicited call to ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd's show Tuesday and spoke for six minutes about boosters and agents. She didn't allege any specific violations and said her husband never accepted any gifts, but said some of his teammates had a more difficult time saying no.

A former track athlete at Baylor, Rachel McCoy thought some players didn't realize what constituted a violation.

"It's tough when there are things that could be handed to you that seem so minor," she said. "You know, a dinner, a hunt here or there, a fishing trip. Things like that that most kids don't even realize are illegal."

McCoy said players at UT also had to deal with contact from agents.

"I know (Colt McCoy) was approached quite a bit (by agents), but you know how Colt is, he can just kind of brush it off and can just kind of move on and not go down that road," Rachel McCoy said. "But I saw so many of his teammates, who just, maybe they didn't have that same kind of self control just to be able to say … to say no to somebody."
