Alabama fans and SEC fans are freaking out over there at SEC rant. The NCAA is going to have a tough time protecting Bama and the big schools thanks to the FBI investigations on college basketball are showcasing that boosters and schools are paying recruits in football as well.

This will probably just be more of the same and nothing happens, but things are getting interesting. If the FBI decides just to take a quick look into Alabama because of this investigation, it will be all over and the NCAA wont be able to do anything about it.



Cooperating witness Louis Martin “Marty” Blazer testified Tuesday that he paid between several hundred and several thousand dollars each to family members or associates of football players from Pitt, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Northwestern, North Carolina and Alabama between 2010-14

I disagree that it will be a bunch of nothing. The FBI is involved and we all know uncle sam wants his money. This cash is getting exchanged tax free. If they would have broke off the government with a percentage they wouldn't be in this position.

Next years Turbotax will include the question:

"Are you a college recruit who received a bribe to attend a particular school?
1. If yes, did you go to Alabama?
a. If your answer is yes, congratulations, your bribe is tax exempt!
b. If no, then unfortunately you may owe the government money."

You guys already know how this turns out.

Miami has a convicted felon "booster" who testified in court that he gave free boat rides but no money..... lack of institutional control. Sanctions. Clouds.

Alabama has a convicted felon "booster" who testifies in court that he paid players..... nothing to see here, move along people.

They will skate. Alabama is above the law. Even the Feds can't touch them.



Everybody knows they're paying players. Everybody. Alabama lands whatever recruits they want. And it ain't because Nick Saban is such a smooth talker, or that Tuscaloosa is such a beautiful place to live.

It's bags. Fat, beautiful bags of loot. That's how they're landing everybody. And it's not just this one guy. It's a whole network of boosters, with the full knowledge of the coaches and the school itself.

Nothing is going to come of it. This will be swept under the rug, and it will be business as usual by the time the season starts.

This guy gets it. Literally nothing will come of this.

Only way this gets somewhat under control is if the FBI expands its investigation into college football. Indictments will be flying if the Feds take a serious look. The Feds just nailed a bunch of Hollywood and Silicon Valley elitists bribing their kids into college. Kids play compared to what college football is doing at these schools.

Even if the fbi does something the ncaa will do nothing. Same as always.
Now if Congress calls the ncaa to Capitol Hill to discuss this it might get interesting. Until then nothing to see.

This is the only scenario where something happens. Already been proven that Saban has a couple NCAA higher ups in the bag from past working and personal relationships. Always thought he was the REAL reason the whole Shapiro thing went down. Even as of 2010 we were getting top players. Was a staff away at that point. Then we get popped and a mass exodus begins of south Florida talent out of Miami’s tether. No surprise that our **** took almost 5 years to get resolved. **** fishy.
