Rumor.......maybe

[basedog]

Could this be true?

Someone sent this to me:

Saban and his
staff are mad as hell about the offensive lineman from Texas that
committed to OM (#2 offensive tackle in the country). He had committed
to Bama last spring and had no ties to OM. So, here is what I was
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.

[smootness]

Sure, it could be true.

Also, nothing will ever come of it even if it is, so who really cares.

[CadaverDawg]

Tell this person to anonymously send you details of each transaction, and that you will anonymously give it to the NCAA. Otherwise, rinse/repeat

[GreenheadDawg]

They could pay him 100 million and it wouldn't make a shit. They can do whatever they want to do and nobody is gonna do shit about it. We all just need to accept that. They basically pecker slap the NCAA across the forehead and they just ask for more

Even if it is true OM would just stick their middle finger at Saban and dare him to do anything about it. Not even this supposed NCAA investigation has done anything to slow down the OM network's recruiting machine so they are full steam ahead and telling the NCAA to shove it.

That's very close to what they offered Simmons

$20,000 I'd believe. $200,000 I don't believe. OM cheats like non other though.

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.

May wanna reconsider throwing that name in there. Since we're crootin him and all. Ha

Clint, are you from Smithdale?

Who's asking?

[BeardoMSU]

I call BS on the 200 large, but even if it was less, so the **** what. Nothing will come from this. As someone said earlier: rinse/repeat.

[basedog]

I saw your avatar on someone I know and said y'all were friends? No big deal but you are the only Clint I know that has that picture. Someone in a hunting club I'm belong to.

That figure often makes people doubt....but it's extremely common

Check your PM's in a few

If they are in fact the doing that, I don't see how they can get away with it very long. If I was a betting man though, I'd bet the farm that it's true, perhaps exaggerated a little, but true nonetheless.

I'd donate a testicle if it ensured the NCAA would go in dry on their pretentious asses.

[EAVdog]

First thing: everyone cheats. Remember that.

Second those aren't that outlandish of numbers but maybe for the position it is? We all remember Cecil asking for 180k, that number didn't just come out of nowhere, there is a market for everything and the market sets the price. (Why didn't we just pay!!!!)

Third: it isn't free to move your entire family from say somewhere like Florida to Oxford, MS and rent a nice house. 4K a month would probably cover living expenses for a family.

This could be applied to a number of schools for the record. But Ole Miss needs to keep a close eye out on their trees.

$20,000 I'd believe. $200,000 I don't believe. OM cheats like non other though.

You'd better believe it. Things are reaching heights I'd never have dreamed of. Cam Newton has reestablished the market price.

[AROB44]

I know everyone thinks nothing will happen to OM and I tend to feel the same. But, the investigation is not done quickly.....hell, they spent 2 years on us and Jackie. So, I haven't completely given up....at some point the NCAA will finish and then issues their report. I will just wait....and hope.

[Jarius]

It's time we stopped bitching about them cheating and do it ourselves (like we are obviously
Doin g in basketball, which is the dirtiest recruiting game in college athletics). Of course it's not my money
