If people only knew when it comes to Alabama...
They have a university bank that they funnel money to players through. That entire issue with Lowder and the bank tied to Auburn? Lets just say it's not a coincidence they ran into issues. Everyone in the SEC knows about it, but the money is too great for anyone to stop it. The rabbit hole is so deep. Saban also owns multiple car dealerships in the state where players have gotten cars from...no conflict of interest there at all. That is not even taking into consideration the numerous 'off-field' coaches they have who have been caught coaching on gamedays, the blatant over signing and stashing of players on medical hardships to keep rivals from getting them, etc. There is nothing special about what Saban is doing. They blatantly cheat and push every envelope and back up the brinks truck to do it. Assistant coaching salaries ain't got **** to do with ****. Plenty of the big boy football schools can match what they are paying coaches.
