Bank accounts? lol....cars, 6 figure jobs, 6 figure houses, travel and cash money is how it’s done.

****, they can do it all in bitcoins now. Too easy to hide. Folks gotta remember it's not a criminal offense to buy a recruit. It's an ncaa violation but as long as the the big ticket schools are doing it, the ncaa will look the other way.

With the Covid going on, there is a less than zero chance ncaa will investigate. If there ever was a time to buy recruits, now is the time. I wouldn't be surprised if Miami tried to "stay competitive" for Marshall's services but as the others said, it was so much it even shocked Bama. We will see if UF actually has the money or was just throwing numbers out because they were getting whupped so badly on the recruiting trail.

You can always tell who’s getting the biggest payment by who brings a parent or parents with them to whatever college town the sign with. Giving a parent a 6 figure “job” is the easiest way to give a recruit a ton of cash without the IRS getting involved. They get the cushy fake job and live in a rented home (paid for by a charitable donor) and it’s all on the up and up.

Another popular move is having the local “auto repair” shop give players “loaners” while they’re enrolled. Player leaves his 2002 Corolla for “repairs” and gets a free 2020 Challenger or whatever as a “loaner” while his car is being “repaired”. Conveniently, it takes three or even four years for the player’s original car to get fixed.
Like said earlier, buying players isn’t illegal but not paying taxes on a huge wad of gift cash is. There’s no way boosters trust 18 year olds or even their families to properly handle a $50,000 payment. The creativity isn’t to skirt the NCAA, it’s to skirt the IRS.

Someone should audit his coach.

Leave the kids and their families out of it but make **** for the leaches

****, Saban has it down to a science. He has his Mercedes dealerships as a nice cover to get his guy new Chargers and other cars. The good ones now understand that you can agree to ANY financing plan, even if you take a bath. Get the parents to put down $1,000 on a $45,000.00 car, and then work out some $50-$100 per month financing. Take the car back when they leave for NFL or graduate, or don't...they don't give a rat's ***.

Depending on the circumstances it can be illegal to pay a recruit. Several of the people involved in the b-ball scandal have been convicted. For a booster though, they can only get nabbed on wire fraud or conducting "business" across state lines.

You get it

[305407cane]

There’s tax questions to consider as well when discussing the legality of paying a recruit

 

[BS85]

Good lord...the size of the bag that I would need to leave south Florida and live in a **** hole like Gainesville, TusKKKaloosa, or Athens would be astronomical. How are these payments processed by the way? Is it straight cash? Is it Wal-Mart and Cracker Barrel gift cards? I'd imagine the IRS would come knocking if an extra $250,000 just magically appeared in my bank account.

Mcbucks.....they're untraceable

 

[561Cane]

How is the cheating gaytors able to sign so many over a two year period? Last year I think they finished with about 30 and at 25 already this year.

Tua’s parents and Jeudy’s mom come to mind.

No it isn't. There's no law saying I can't give a kid money to go to a school. It's against NCAA rules but it's not against the law. Nevin Shapiro didn't go to jail for paying Miami players.

Yes, it is. There is fraud involved, and additional issues conducting business when it is out of state. Some of these guys go to jail when they get sloppy. Look at the guys involved in the basketball scandal. Christian Dawkins has been convicted

It’s not always illegal. There’s federal charges involved with the basketball scandal because Adidas was trying to funnel players towards their company and the universities were “deceived”. Prosecutors took a lot of liberty with the word of the law in that case. So yes, under the right circumstances it could be illegal. Is it ALWAYS illegal? Absolutely not.

Agreed. If done properly its very hard to get in any kind of trouble. 501c3 have lots of shields they can hide behind. LSU is known for their "Tiger Foundation" that funnels funds to recruits and their families. Churches can be used for this as well, which has been rumored to be the tool that Clemson uses. This is also what UK used to pay John Wall when he was close to coming to UM

I read the Complaint against Ville and found it strained, at best. I found myself asking "what are the damages?" and "who was damaged?"

Churches are the best. They don't have to file 990s or disclose either the individuals or companies that either contribute to or receive money from the church.

For sure. I’m not a lawyer so my first hand knowledge of how it works is pretty basic but it seemed like some folks were really trying to make it into a criminal offense. The best example I saw was something like: If a giant tech Corp gave a high school wiz kid $100,000 to go to Stanford with the hopes of hiring him upon graduation, would they be arrested?

On top of the fact that schools and boosters have been caught red handed, to the point where programs were given the death penalty by the NCAA and zero criminal charges were ever filed against any booster.
