There's a great Durham story post all this as he made the Bulldog Club circuit. He was recounting losing Rolan to MLB and quipped as only Durham could clip: "it was hard to beat $250k…under the table."

Also, I am reminded that Fred McGriff signed with UGA out of HS before being drafted by the Yankees. The Crime Dawg was one of my favorites....
