has ever seen, and that ruling means that fines could be quadrupled. long before this ruling, bp had already paid billions in fines and in compensation to businesses hurt by the spill. but, as we first reported in may, bp is now crying foul, claiming it's the victim of gulf coast swindlers who have the oil giant over a barrel. bp says it's being forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation to people who never saw oil anywhere but on tv. the explosion was a catastrophe. 11 crew members were killed. the gusher flowed 87 days. bp put up billions to pay compensation, and hired attorney ken feinberg to sort out who was hurt by the spill and who was not. >> ken feinberg: one fellow down in alabama said to me, when i asked him for proof, he said, "mr. feinberg, we do things with

a handshake down here." i said, "that's fine, but a handshake won't get you compensation." >> pelley: why is it so important to hold everyone to that standard of proof? >> feinberg: because there'll be another catastrophe, and a catastrophe after that. what happens the next time, in terms of a company's willingness to do something similar? >> pelley: feinberg has long experience. he ran the compensation program for victims of 9/11. in the bp disaster, he told us there were often two kinds of applicants, the deserving and the devious. what was the most outrageous claim you got? >> feinberg: i think there was a fellow in oslo, norway, if i remember correctly, who slipped on the ice while he was filing a claim and sought damages for a broken leg. >> pelley: people saw money and they tried to get it. >> feinberg: human nature-- goes with the territory. i think that if you had any type of compensation program anywhere, you get a fair number

of people who try and game the system to try and recover compensation. >> pelley: feinberg says, out of more than a million claims, he found only a third were justified. his critics said too many claims were being denied. so, to avoid decades of court battles and uncertainty, bp agreed to a more lenient compensation program. but now, bp vice president geoff morell says the oil giant is getting soaked by businesses with losses that are not linked to the spill. >> geoff morell: we're talking about a wireless phone company store that burned to the ground and shut down before the spill, an rv park owner that was foreclosed upon before the spill. and i love this one-- a pontiac dealer who could no longer sell pontiacs because g.m. had discontinued the line before the spill. >> pelley: those are all real examples and they are people who actually got a check?

>> morell: those are all real examples and are, frankly, not exceptions but rather emblematic of a far larger problem. there are more than 1,000 claims just like them that had glaring red flags associated with them that should have been picked out by the claims administrator, and instead were ultimately awarded more than $500 million. >> pelley: that's how bp adds it up, but the new claims administrator, pat juneau, says bp is getting what it asked for. juneau's "deepwater horizon" claims center replaced ken feinberg-- same job, new rules. bp makes it sound like you're throwing millions of dollars away to people who have no stake in the oil spill whatsoever. >> pat juneau: i have an obligation as a court-appointed official by the federal court to implement what these two parties wrote. >> pelley: the "parties" are bp and, on the other side, lawyers representing victims. they negotiated a settlement with a fairly simple formula. bp agreed to pay businesses

whose income dropped after the spill and then rebounded one year later. trouble was, some attorneys soliciting clients took that to mean any business with a loss of any kind. >> your losses don't have to be directly traceable to the oil spill. >> "do i have to prove the oil spill directly harmed my business?" the answer is no. >> a business does not have to prove that their loss was directly caused by that event. >> morell: there was a proliferation of these kinds of ads. and there was almost a pied piper-like recruitment of claimants, and compounding that problem was the fact that the claims administrator, the facility, began to pay these claims. >> pelley: one attorney's flyer reads, "the craziest thing about the settlement is that you can be compensated for losses that are unrelated to the spill." bp's attorney ted olson has a word for that. >> ted olson: i think that's fraud. we want to compensate legitimate claimants, but this here's an

incentive to encourage people to commit fraud, and that... that is wrong. >> pelley: so bp launched its own ad campaign, which pointed to $60,000 that went to colorectal surgeons 300 miles from the coast, and $173,000 paid to an escort service in florida. bp also claims $8 million was approved for companies that clean up after hurricanes. their income was down after the spill because there were no hurricanes that made landfall that year. pat juneau, the claims administrator, told us that he questioned the eligibility formula at the start, because it didn't require proof of a link to the spill. he asked bp about that. and bp replied in the court record that if the numbers fit the formula, "all losses are presumed to be attributable to the oil spill," even if "the decline was wholly unrelated to

the oil spill." with that, juneau decided that if a business lost money, he was not allowed to ask why. >> jim roy: it's a black and white formula, a deal is a deal, scott. >> pelley: jim roy is a lawyer for the victims. he helped negotiate the eligibility formula with bp. >> roy: well, i think bp has buyer's remorse. bp told the court that it believed that this was going to be a $7.8 billion settlement. but i think it's going to be considerably more than the amount of money that bp said it was going to cost. >> pelley: we called dozens of the applicants that bp says took unfair advantage of the deal, but all of them declined to be interviewed. do you think that might be because they're feeling sort of sheepish about receiving that check? >> roy: no, i think there are two things going on. i think, one, most of these businesses understand that they want their lives to stay private. and number two, the last thing they want is to go on "60

minutes" with scott pelley to broadcast anything about them personally. >> pelley: but there could be another reason-- on the claim form that applicants sign under penalty of perjury, it says that they "assert economic loss due to the spill." bp lawyer ted olson says it shouldn't matter that the formula to calculate the loss doesn't consider the cause. >> olson: you had to have been hurt by the oil spill. >> pelley: bp's accounting expert, holly sharp, testified in 2012 that once a business meets the formula, all losses are "presumed to be caused by the spill with no analysis required to determine whether the declines might have been due, at least in part, to other causes." i mean, it just seems that that's what bp agreed to. you made your bed, and now you're lying in it. >> olson: the part that you just quoted for me started off with, "once you meet the formula." the formula is that, first of

all, you have to establish that you were injured as a result of this. otherwise, anyone can walk in and say, "i had a bad year. pay me money." >> pelley: and that's exactly what's happening. >> olson: that's exactly what's happening. >> pelley: the front page of the settlement claim form says, "the claim is for those that assert economic loss due to the spill." what does "due to the spill" mean to you? >> roy: "caused." but if they qualify, whatever that calculation is, they should be paid. you may, in hindsight, judge "that just doesn't seem right." i may judge in hindsight, although i don't, that that just doesn't seem right. but that's the deal bp asked for; that's the deal bp got. and the deal bp got was for the entire states of mississippi, louisiana and alabama. >> pelley: claims administrator pat juneau is rejecting about 40% of claims when companies can't prove an economic loss of some kind. but he has approved more than $3 billion in claims so far, so, in

a nutshell, if they've got the right numbers, they get a check? >> juneau: i'm obliged to pay... honor and pay those claims. >> pelley: bp essentially is saying that you're facilitating fraud. >> juneau: i have never in my life... i'm 76 years old, i've been to a lot of rodeos in my life. i don't facilitate fraud. fraud offends me. >> pelley: but doesn't this do violence to common sense when you're paying claims to people who have no loss associated with the spill? how could that possibly be the intent of the agreement? >> juneau: you do understand that i wasn't there when these parties agreed to this agreement. and that's what they agreed to. >> morell: but no company would ever agree to a settlement that compensates people who were not harmed by their actions, and we most certainly did not agree to such a settlement. >> roy: bp doesn't like the deal it cut now. i'm sorry about that.

i can't help that. but i was in the room when this section of the deal was negotiated. others on our team were there, too. that's what we saw and heard, no doubt about it. >> pelley: the battle, of course, is in the federal courts. bp has won a few on the size of some of the checks. but it's lost every attempt to reinterpret the formula that decides who is eligible. here in new orleans, one federal judge said that bp was essentially trying to rewrite the deal. a federal appeals judge said that there was nothing fundamentally unreasonable about the deal that bp agreed to but now wishes it had not. bp is now asking the appeals court for one more hearing. is this a matter of bp's attorneys just having been hoodwinked? you accepted a deal without fully realizing what it meant, and now you're stuck with it?

>> olson: no one could have anticipated that the system would go completely off the tracks, but that's why you have appellate courts. and that's why we have the supreme court. bp will take this as far as it is necessary to go to make sure that this settlement agreement is construed properly. >> pelley: did you guys take bp to the cleaners on this? >> roy: no, sir. bp got a good settlement. and bp was represented by very, very good lawyers who were worthy adversaries, who fought tooth and nail for their client. and it was a hard-fought settlement. their own lawyer said it was a very generous settlement. >> pelley: that's not what they're saying now. there're saying it's a little too generous. >> roy: it is what it is. >> pelley: now, bp complains it feels like it's the visiting team fighting a home field advantage along a gulf coast that remembers vividly scenes like this. >> juneau: if the inference is that we're giving preferential treatment and putting the screws to somebody here-- myself or this court-- that's grossly

untrue. it's offensive, certainly offensive to me. and it shouldn't be said and it has no place in this litigation. >> pelley: shortly after our story first aired, the federal appeals court denied bp's request for another hearing on who is eligible for an award. and just this past week, bp asked another court to consider removing pat juneau as the claims administrator. >> long before he heard from the lawyers, scott heard from a remarkable oil worker who survived the blast. go to 60minutesovertime.com sponsored by lyrica. me is mich, i'm 55 years old and i have diabetic nerve pain. the pain was terrible. my feet hurt so bad. it felt like hot pins and needles coming from the inside out of my skin. when i did go see the doctor, and he prescribed lyrica. it helped me.

>> simon: now, an extraordinary story from the second world war, a humanitarian story that didn't come to light for decades. it concerns a young londoner named nicholas winton who went to prague, and ended up saving the lives of 669 children, mostly jews, from almost certain death. as we first reported last april, his story begins at the end of 1938, with europe on the brink of war. in germany, violence against jews was escalating, and the infamous munich agreement paved

the way for hitler's armies to march unopposed into czechoslovakia. in london, nicholas winton had been following events and knew that refugees fleeing the nazis were in dire straits. he went to czechoslovakia to see if there was anything he could do to help. what's strange is that, for almost 50 years, he hardly told anyone about what he had accomplished, and for 50 years, the children knew nothing about who had saved them or how. we begin on october 1, 1938. nazi troops marched into the sudetenland, the german-speaking region of czechoslovakia. prague, the czech capital, was flooded with desperate people trying to escape. a fortunate few were able to send their children abroad. these parents, mostly czech

jews, sensed war was coming and wanted to get their children out. by chance, a cameraman filmed a man holding a boy, a 29 year-old londoner. his name? nicholas winton. >> nicholas winton: all i knew was that the people that i met couldn't get out. and they were looking of ways of at least getting their children out. >> simon: nicholas winton is one of the few people who can bear witness to those days because he's 105 years old. he told us he went to prague to see if he might be able to save some people. but what made you think you could do it? >> winton: i work on the motto that if something's not impossible, there must be a way of doing it. >> simon: back in london, winton was a successful stockbroker, living the good life with a passion for sports. but he was deeply concerned about news reports from

czechoslovakia of german persecution. >> winton: i went out into the camps where the people who had been displaced were put, and it was winter and it was cold. >> simon: emigration wasn't an option. the world's doors were closed to the refugees. conditions in the camps were brutal for the 150,000 people trapped there, especially for the children. and no one focused on them, until nicholas winton. but what did he do? we went to jerusalem, to yad vashem, israel's memorial to the victims of the holocaust, and asked dr. david silberklang, a senior historian there. >> david silberklang: winton went, set up shop in a hotel in the center of the old city in prague and began looking into, "how can i organize getting some of these refugees, particularly the children, out of here?" >> simon: what kind of experience did he have to qualify him for this immense bureaucratic task?

>> silberklang: none. >> simon: winton set up a small organization with one aim-- to get as many kids out as fast as possible. >> silberklang: people started coming to him in increasing numbers. he didn't have time in the day to meet them all. he'd work till 2:00 in the morning, get up early in the morning to meet the next people as more and more were coming saying, "take my child. take my child." >> simon: by the time he returned to london, he had a list of hundreds of children and set out to convince british authorities to take him seriously. he did it by taking stationary from an established refugee organization, adding "children's section, " and making himself chairman. >> winton: so that, eventually, they had to adopt me. >> simon: so, in fact, you managed to do what you did through a little deception, a little smoke and mirrors? >> winton: yes, to a certain extent, yes. >> simon: it required quite a bit of ingenuity. >> winton: no, it just required a printing press to get the...

the notepaper printed. >> simon: the "children's section" operated from a tiny office in central london. winton's mother was in charge. the staff were all volunteers. during the day, winton worked as a stockbroker. evenings, he wrestled with the british bureaucracy. did you approach any other countries to take some of the children? >> winton: the americans. but the americans wouldn't take any, which was a pity. we could've got a lot more out. >> simon: winton had written president roosevelt, asking the u.s. to take in more children. a minor official at the u.s. embassy in london wrote back-- the u.s. was "unable" to help. britain agreed to accept the children, but only if winton found families willing to take them in. so he circulated the children's pictures to advertise them. but even after a family chose a child, british authorities were

slow in issuing travel documents. so winton started having them forged. he also spread some money around. >> winton: took a bit of blackmail on my part. >> simon: you were indulging in blackmail and forgery to get the children out? >> winton: i've never heard it put like that before. ( laughter ) >> simon: but you seem to be enjoying it. >> winton: it worked, that's the main thing. >> simon: the first 20 children left prague on march 14, 1939. the next day, german troops occupied prague and the rest of czechoslovakia. hitler rode through the streets triumphant. hugo meisl was ten years old. do you remember the germans coming into czechoslovakia? >> hugo meisl: not only do i remember, i personally saw hitler standing up in the car. and the children were expected to say "heil hitler" and so forth. i remember as if yesterday. >> simon: it wasn't long before

violence against jews, property confiscations and forced labor that began in the sudetenland spread throughout czechoslovakia. but the nazis allowed winton's trains to leave in keeping with their policy to "cleanse" europe of jews. hugo meisl's parents decided it was time to put him and his brother on one of the trains. >> meisl: i remember that they told us that we were going to england, maybe two or three months. it would be a holiday for us. and that they would join us very shortly thereafter. >> simon: and you believed them. >> meisl: absolutely. >> simon: were your parents emotional when they said goodbye to you? >> meisl: no, i re... i've asked myself that question many times, how my parents... had the strength? ( chokes up ) i'm sorry.

it never occurred to me that what they were saying to us was not true. in other words, that they realized that they... they would not be joining us within a short period of time. >> simon: over the spring and summer of 1939, seven trains carried over 600 children through the heart of nazi germany to holland, where they took a ferry to the english coast. from there, they caught a train to london. an eighth train carrying 250 more was scheduled to leave prague on september 1. but that's the day the war began. >> winton: they were all at the station, even on the train, waiting to go, and war was declared. so the train never left. never heard really what happened to all those children. >> simon: but there's reason to

suspect that not many of them survived? >> winton: i think that's true, yes. >> simon: two years after that last train, the nazis began implementing the "final solution," their plan to slaughter all the jews of europe. czech jews were rounded up and shipped to theresienstadt, an old military garrison town about an hour north of prague, their first stop on the road to annihilation. these tracks were the exit from theresienstadt, the only exit. the tracks led east. the trains were called "polish transports"-- destination: auschwitz. some 90,000 people took that one-way ride, among them, almost all the children sir nicholas wasn't able to get out in time, their parents, and the parents of the children already in england. after the war, you went back to czechoslovakia.

was there one instant where you accepted the fact that your parents were dead? >> meisl: when films were being shown of people walking in concentration camps, auschwitz and so forth, there were so many shots being taken by the germans and... and so forth-- never stopped looking. >> simon: the name of every czech jew murdered in the holocaust is painted on the walls of prague's pinkas synagogue. over 77,300 names, including arnostka and pavel meisl, hugo's parents. and nicholas winton? during the war, he volunteered for an ambulance unit for the

red cross, then trained pilots for the royal air force. he got married, raised a family, earned a comfortable living. for 50 years, he told hardly anyone what he had done. >> winton: i didn't really keep it secret; i just didn't talk about it. >> simon: all this time, you're in england, and then you go back to czechoslovakia. then, you go to israel. you still had no idea how your departure from czechoslovakia had been organized? >> meisl: absolutely no idea. >> simon: and you learned that by seeing it on television? >> meisl: that's right. >> simon: in 1988, the bbc learned about winton's story and invited him to be part of a program. he had no idea that the people sitting around him were people he had saved. >> can i ask, is there anyone in

our audience tonight who owes their life to nicholas winton? if so, could you stand up, please? mr. winton, would you like to turn around? on behalf of all of them, thank you very much indeed. ( applause ) >> winton: i suppose it was the most emotional moment of my life, suddenly being confronted with all these children who weren't, by any means, children anymore. >> simon: no, they weren't. and for the first time, they looked at you and knew that you were the reason that they were alive. >> winton: yeah. true. >> milena grenfell-baines: i wore this around my neck, and this is the actual pass that we were given to come to england. and i am another of the children that you saved. ( applause )

>> simon: lady milena grenfell- baines describes winton as one of the most modest people she's ever met. why do you think he didn't say anything for 50 years? >> grenfell-baines: i think it was in his nature. he really felt that he'd done all he could, and having got those children settled, he felt, "been there, done that. my job's done. i've got other things to do." >> simon: "other things." for the last 50 years, winton's been helping mentally handicapped people and building homes for the elderly. >> winton: we've just opened our second old people's home, and it's full. and it's doing very well. and there are plenty of old people like me to go in. >> simon: yes, but you're not there, you're at home. >> winton: oh, i'd hate to go into one of my own homes. ( laughter )

don't print that. >> sir nicholas winton. >> simon: in 2003, winton was knighted and became sir nicholas winton. in the czech republic, he's become a national hero. he was celebrated in a documentary called "nicky's family," but he isn't really comfortable with all the adulation. >> winton: i'm not interested in the past. i think there's too much emphasis nowadays on the past and what has happened, and nobody is concentrated on the present and the future. >> simon: in 1939, nicholas winton used a two-week vacation to go to prague and ended up saving the lives of 669 children. in the decades since, of course, the children had children, who then had children and so on, and the numbers multiplied. if you want to summarize it in one sentence-- guy takes a two- week vacation... >> grenfell-baines: and ends up with 15,000 children? yes. >> simon: it's a pretty good story. >> grenfell-baines: it's a great story. >> winton: they've got children

and grandchildren and great grandchildren. >> simon: and none of them would be here if it hadn't been for sir nick. >> winton: that's right. yeah, yeah. terrible responsibility, isn't it? welcome to the the sports update. i'm james brown with scores around the nfl. today the patriots blew a half time lead in miami while aubry rushes to 102 yard force a score and the jets win. cleveland wince its 10th straight season-opener, the bengals blew a lead before coming back to win. >> no cam newton but carolina prevails over tampa bayment for more sports news and information go to cbssports.com.

with quarterbacks and see how aaron evaluated. >> safer: and how much of a change have you noticed in your talents since you started with him? >> aaron mclaughlin: i've noticed a big change. i've been throwing the ball better. my footwork has been better. i used to kind of trip myself when i'd do drops. i haven't done that at all. >> safer: it's a major financial commitment for you and your family, correct? >> craig mclaughlin: correct. i don't know what the future has to hold, but the one thing is... is that he's going to know that his parents, when he set his mind to something, we believe in him. and he's going to have that sense of confidence. >> safer: that sense of confidence that inspires parents and kids has a lot to do with the college scholarship offers that clarkson's orchestrated for seventh and eighth graders. last year, clarkson secured a scholarship offer from the university of washington for 14- year-old tate martell. >> tate martell: my goal was

always to try to get a scholarship. and when it came, i was just shocked. >> safer: how long is it that you've wanted to be a big-time quarterback? >> martell: i'd talk about the n.f.l. when i was, like, four years old. i guess i'd run around my house. i see pictures a me running around my house in a 49ers helmet butt naked. >> safer: that naked passion eventually led tate's parents to seek out clarkson. how did it affect your game? >> martell: oh, i've improved in, like, massive ways, especially my ability to play consistently throughout the game, especially, like, in the fourth quarter, being able to throw the same way in the first like i do in the fourth. >> safer: when you got this offer, you weren't even in high school yet, correct? >> martell: i was going into eighth grade. >> safer: it may be a man's game, but the mamas are just as passionate as the papas.

pamela poe's son, m.c. poe, is a junior and starting quarterback for cathedral high school in los angeles, an nfl-size squad with 16-- repeat, 16-- coaches. do you worry about him when he's on the field? >> pamela poe: i'm his mom, of course i do. that's why i tell him he's got to have speed and get out of the way. ( laughter ) >> safer: two years ago, ms. poe sent her son from nashville to los angeles to live with the clarkson family. a lot of mothers are going to look at you and say, you know, "what gives with her?" i mean, the dangers of the game- - after all, it's only a game. and isn't it a bit excessive? >> pamela poe: this is a passion that m.c. has had. and when i have a child that had the opportunity to come out to california and train to develop himself into being a better quarterback, i do not feel that it was excessive because it was what... it was the right thing for m.c. >> safer: but what people might find excessive is you took him out of school and sent him to

california to live with steve. >> pamela poe: m.c.'s a different child. here he is, 14 years old, left his family, his brothers, his friends, but he knew he wanted to do this. he was that driven, that's the kind of child m.c. is. >> safer: one of clarkson's premiere students who's already received a scholarship offer is 17-year-old brady white. white is ranked among the top 100 high-school quarterbacks in the country. under those friday night lights, clarkson shuttles between his students' games. >> clarkson: brady is a once in a lifetime kid. his skill set is really one of the best i've seen. >> safer: music to your ears, right? >> andrea white: right, it's... you know, it's a dream to hear that. and you hope that it's... that it comes true. steve's a lot of the reason why brady has the mechanics and the talent and the passion that he does. >> safer: andrea and deron

white, brady's parents, are clarkson faithfuls. but this is a dangerous game, and the quarterback always has a target on his chest, right? >> deron white: driving down the street's a dangerous event in california, as well. so, how many people get to play and start at quarterback in high school, and then go on to college and play in front of millions of fans, in front of tv and the environment and... >> andrea white: doing what they love. >> deron white: yeah, that... that's a dream come true. >> clarkson: here we go. >> safer: clarkson's job is to feed the football machine with a new crop of dreamers. >> clarkson: now we're getting somewhere. >> safer: it's a well-oiled machine of camps and clinics, where you can learn fancy footwork and an exotic language. >> clarkson: we didn't see it. now he takes another three, and then, bang, hit it in the second window. >> safer: he teaches 40 or 50 kids at a time, employing a routine of skills and drills from proper poses to pirouettes, all in the name of perfecting the pass. >> clarkson: whoo. that's it, spin it! >> safer: and he briefs parents on the risky road to stardom.

>> clarkson: they're going to read about their son. they're going to go to a game and they're going to hear awful things about their son. like, i remember my dad telling me one time i was so bad at a game at fresno state, and i threw five interceptions, he had to boo, too, just so that he wouldn't get beat up. ( laughter ) so, yeah, i know it's tough. we call this a single high beater. >> safer: that firsthand knowledge of failure led to clarkson's success as a teacher. >> clarkson: when i started this business, there was nobody that did this. there were tennis coaches, there were batting coaches, there are pitching coaches. but there was never a quarterback coach. it was not just teaching the art of quarterbacking, but it was also kind of a creative marketing, like how do you take this guy and make him a star? what's going on, man? >> safer: star-making through college connections-- college coaches like steve sarkisian, a clarkson graduate and new head coach at usc, want to know about his newest batch of talent. in clarkson's 25 years of training, over 100 of his clients have made it as division

one college or nfl quarterbacks. clarkson was one of the nation's top quarterbacks at san jose state, but just couldn't make it to the nfl. so he went into the guru business, and word soon spread about his success. parents across the country sought him out. among them, joe montana, who sent his two sons to the clarkson camp. that's some endorsement. but some n.f.l. fathers aren't so keen about football for kids, period. bart scott, a cbs sports network analyst, played for 11 years as an nfl linebacker... >> roethlisberger goes down! >> safer: ...and was a quarterback's worst nightmare. >> and what a violent hit ben took. >> safer: one of your prime jobs was to sack the quarterback. >> bart scott: inflict pain--

that was my job description. >> safer: well, you sure inflicted pain on ben roethlisberger. that kind of determination to "inflict pain," as you say, does that apply to... to kids' football, as well? >> scott: of course, especially. you know, i remember when i was a kid, i started playing football when i was eight years old. you know, we used to come back and show the opposing teams colors that, you know, that had rubbed off on our helmets, meaning that we had really hit them really good. it was a badge of honor. >> safer: scott had no interest in that badge of honor for his son. he went on the record saying he didn't want his kid playing football. so how can you let your kid play football? >> scott: ( laughs ) you know what? you know, i... i didn't want my son to play football. but when my son wanted to play and his mother signed him up, what i decided to do was become the football coach so i can make sure that he's being taught the proper techniques to defend himself, to protect himself. >> safer: what worries parents most is the risk of brain injuries. nevertheless, as these "high school's hardest hits" videos

show, the kids themselves do not hold back. beyond the dangers of the game, scott worries about the impact of big college football's latest recruiting tactic-- get them while they're young. >> scott: universities and people who... who are in that business will stop at anything to make a profit. you know, everybody wants to be ahead of the curve. i remember the kid tyson jackson, i believe out of lsu, received a scholarship when he was born because he was a ten- pound-baby. i'm like, "really, how do you know this kid doesn't have two- left feet?" >> safer: actually, it was a 15- pound baby named herman johnson. the scholarship offer may be a myth, but johnson did grow up to become a 400-pound-guard with a scholarship from lsu. but your football scholarship is just about as rare as your 15- pound baby, and clarkson may love the game but... this is a very, very tough racket?

>> clarkson: there's no question it's tough. but it's no different than from the... the person that wants to be an actor. you know, they go to school for that, and chances are they're going to be serving coffee at starbucks or someplace. >> safer: do you prepare them for disappointment? >> clarkson: you don't ever really prepare for disappointment. i think what you try to do is you're preparing them for multiple choices, so that, you know, hey, look, you're always taught as a quarterback, "we go to the line of scrimmage and we see one thing, but we have to be prepared to change the play." . so imagine, what if there was a new class of medicine that works differently to lower blood sugar? imagine, loving your numbers. introducing once-daily invokana®. it's the first of a new kind of prescription medicine that's used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. invokana® is a once-daily pill that works around the clock to
