told....OM paid him to visit and paid him more not to visit other
schools. Was paid a total of $200,000.... plus if he signs with OM he
will receive $4,000 per month.
Bama is the only team that i can think of that has actually been proven to have paid $150k for a player and that was 15 yrs ago. With inflation, what must they be paying now. OM can only afford to pay a couple of guys per year that much. Bama has the money to buy them all. Then they get pissed when they don't get one? Screw them.
