[MENTION=1922]htownkidd[/MENTION] is legit.
Why not??.... They know they can do whatever and the NCAA won't do squat to them!!
Little Nicky knows he won't be touched by an investigation!!
I live in NW Florida. The teams that work this general area are Auburn, Alabama, and FSU.
I know for a fact that cars are offered, nice cars, too. You're almost right in that they don't pay the recruits much at a time or that would get them caught - as kids don't have a lot of sense when it comes to spending a sudden influx of money.
Momma will get her bills paid, there will be of course an allowance to the players, bumps on occasion, a car, and even daddy or momma will be offered a new job.
Not by Alabama, nor Saban - no - they keep their hands clean. Alabama has a network - a very wide, wealthy network of individuals who tend to the needs of the families of a recruit. Even the churches get involved in the deep South - and even a pastor will get a cut for helping get a recruit to sign.
High school coaches will also benefit - in very creative and low-key ways.
Everything designed, practiced, and perfected over scores of years, for one purpose. Get the recruits they need. Simple business. What kid would turn down a school that will get him a car and have his family taken care of? With some walk around money in his pocket every month?
It doesn't take something as dumb as paying a kid $50,000 or even a ridiculous $100,000. Five thousand a month to many families is gold. Gold. Sixty-plus thou a year, and some walking around money every month, and a car? You got it.
When a recruit says they need to take care of their family - they're not lying. When one says 'it's a business decision'? They're not lying.
And doing things this way - Alabama will never get caught - because it's not Alabama doing this stuff. It's arm-length individuals. Really valuable recruit? I know a QB who came from a family with money - didn't need the money - but he sure took that Corvette when offered.
Fact of life. Money talks. Many languages. And often meets many needs.
You're crazy. Two words - Nevin Shapiro. If you think we never paid for a player, you're in complete denial.
It was hyperbole as to the success they typically have in the last 2 months of recruiting season when they seem to pickup > 50% of their class
Fair enough- I myself have no inside connections to Bama, nor will I pretend as if I do. I was just going based off of what someone else had posted, that had seemingly come true with how the whole Jobe saga has been transpiring
Gonna look even worse if he stays and turns out to be a bust.
Report it to who????? The head of the NCAA investigations dept?... Cool...hope you're not interrupting his dinner with little Nicky, when you call him!!
People do realize athletes when they receive full scholarships they get tuition paid off along with $1700 stipend if they live off campus.
I think all coaches leave a visit with Jobe feeling great. We'll just have to see where he signs. I don't believe for one second that if he doesn't sign on the 20th our chances go up. Time with this kid is bad news.
There is no way that you could get that many high-profile kids from all over America to move to Tuscaloosa Alabama without paying them. It's really that simple.
God you think you're smarter than you are. What's your obsession with using stressed letters in curse words? ******* strange. Remember when you claimed the basketball team's recruiting class wouldn't be affected by the FBI thing and told all of the "cowards" to show themselves? Dumbass

Alabama won 4 titles BECAUSE they throw around the most bags, genius
Men mumble; money talks.
I'll go with the coaches. Our staff plus Saban see something that maybe you don't.
I got some beach front property to sell you
