I was looking up noted author William Bradford Huie in Wiki and in the plus ça change department, came across this bit:
Huie's first national recognition came with the article "How To Keep Football Stars In College" (Collier's Weekly, January 1, 1941). This piece was about the University of Alabama football program in the 1940s and included controversial quotations such as: "We who have recruited Alabama's players know who our competitors have been. And we've offered no higher prices than were necessary to compete in the open market."
