What do y'all make of this?
Sounds like a set up before a scapegoat gets taken to the slaughterhouse.
That's kind of what I thought too. I wonder if something is about to break?Quote:

Maybe I didn't read it right.
So money doesn't buy influence? Riiiiiighhht. That's complete BS...especially at a place like tsun.
Thats so OM
An article about needing money but that money doesnt allow undue influence on things. Its like a propaganda piece about how vigilant they are while literally dealing with an NCAA investigation
Good lord, the OM lapdogs in the in-state media.
Some booster has been busted by the NCAA. It might have something to do with the 2NOA
Wouldn't Cannon Motor's be considered a booster? Weren't they a corporate sponsor or something? I do remember they sponsored mccready's radio show until it came out that they were the ones providing rental cars to UM players.
It's definitely a propaganda, damage control and making excuses for what they feel like is about to happen. And saying that it only takes one rogue booster is pretty much admitting that something's up ... but maybe they were talking about the car for Tunsil.
One rogue booster killed Bama back in the late 90's. Several years later he killed him self.Quote:

Ross is fighting for his job maybe.

According to Homicide Lt. Joe Scott in a press conference, Young tripped while carrying a salad and soft drink up a set of stairs and hit his head on an iron railing. The fall onto the railing opened a large gash across the top of Young's head, causing him to drop to the floor bleeding profusely. After lying on the floor for some time, Young got up and walked bleeding through several rooms of his spacious, two-story house before ending up in his second-floor bedroom. According to Scott, Young walked past several telephones but didn't place an emergency call.
An appeal of the federal conviction on money laundering and conspiracy charges was pending when Young died.[9]"
In the day and age of pimping out your fresh writings via social media, I find it interesting that neither Alford nor Pitts tweeted out this article Sunday or yesterday for readers on Twitter. Take that as you will.
Something's up. They have an agenda and trying to get ahead of some bad news. NOI? Illegal preference on a bid? Favoritism in awarding a contract? The possibilities are endless.
Did he eat the salad still?
This is nothing more than groundwork to set up the next set of talking points.
"We aren't under investigation."
"We're working with the NCAA to get through these minor allegations."
"We've received an NOA but everything's okay. It's all old business. Most of the violations weren't football related."
"It's over. No more investigation."
"Well ..... you know, we work REAL HARD to try and follow the rules, but all it takes is that ONE ROGUE BOOSTER and we get unfairly tarnished!"
Wash ... rinse ... repeat.
