Paying Players (per BJ's latest piece)

I'm of the "belief" that we do not "pay" players at all. "Pay" is very gray. But I don't believe for one second the administration is complicit with rogue boosters dropping bags on players.

My guess is that we do have rogue boosters dropping bags, but that it's nowhere near competitive with the Alabagas and Clemsons. I bet it happens, but in a small-time, inconsequential manner. If we are doing it, I'm sure it's small potatoes. I don't see Miller, Soffer, or Frost dropping bags for players.

When Richt can recruit Sony Michel to Athens but not someone similar to Coral Gables, red flags out to go off.
 
cant beat em? Join em. I said this is another thread- we need a to develop a canes trust fund... we can all pool in $10 or whatever and it will go to the 'betterment' of the university. Alonzo Highsmith was doing something like this a year ago...

Dabo and Saban. I hope a reporter nails them both but if you come for either one of them, you best not miss

Does anyone even try at those places, though? Meanwhile, in the far larger media market of South Florida, we have tons of ambitious media types looking to make names for themselves.

Well, get the message to the right people. We need an alumni network that's willing to start doing the dirty work. Not like Nevin Shapiro, that midget just wanted the fame, we need the silent donors dropping duffel bags everywhere.

All this happy talk about paying players completely ignores the majority of schools that simply do not have the money to pay them..

Because football & men's basketball have to fund feel good $h!t like Title 9, so some trust fund baby can putt a lil' white ball, or play row, row, row your boat on a lake somewhere.

"Privately, UM people from the past two regimes said they can’t get a few of the top players who are inclined to take illegal payments in the corrupt world of college athletics."

I say we start paying guys because it's the only way you can compete. And by paying, I mean through creative means, not outsourcing it to loose cannons like Nevin Shapiro. That's why we got caught.

Clemson straight up pays their players on recruiting visits (they joke about it to my buddy who coaches at Michigan when they come on visits). Clemson and Georgia will also pay those expensive insurance policies (which I think is a reason why they got guys to stay). At Texas, every single starter gets 350 in cash from the boosters after every game. At Georgia, they'll go into a recruit's neighborhood and buy their home for double the sale prices of homes in the same neighborhood (kind of genius if you ask me). And of course Alabama will move your whole family out to Tuscaloosa and give them six figure no show jobs like the mob does in NYC.

Another side note on Texas... they make so much effing money that every year they have around 50 million dollars in cash just sitting there every year after their operating expenses are paid. I know this because my brother's hedge fund specifically manages the UT athletic cash endowment.

Unfortunately, that's the reality of today's game... Clemson went from 7-6 to a powerhouse overnight because of paying players.

Proof! You downtrodden posters are desperate to make excuses why we have become a nobody in college football. If you really believe that there is wide spread bag dropping throughout college football, prove it to the NCAA. Contact our wealthiest boosters and advise them of your concerns. Suggest to them to form a committee of attorneys to thoroughly investigate whether high school recruits are being recruited and signed illegally. Assumptions mean nothing regarding your thoughts. Solid facts are necessary to have the NCAA investigate this supposed practice.
