Look at the naïve simp pretending Saban was clean as the driven white snow.


Look at the moronic Aubie that says, there's no other way Saban could do it without "cheating". And yet offers not one iota of proof. Just cause I said so.

Alabama had been caught cheating in the past. (Albert Means says hello).

They were not caught under Saban. Many other programs were in the time he was there.

The reality is Bama was just as clean as other big football programs were that didn't get caught cheating and more clean then the ones who were caught.

Here are the list of SEC schools that had to vacate wins due to cheating since Saban arrived in the SEC in 2000.

Alabama 2005-2007 (earned due to activities before Saban)
Ole Miss 2010-2014
LSU 2012-2015
Ole Miss 2016

Other noteable NCAA penalties:

2002 UK - Bowl ban
2002-3 Bama - Bowl ban (pre saban)
2004 MSU - Bowl ban
2019 Mizzou - Bowl ban

Tennessee 2018-2020 - 8 million dollar fine for hundreds of recruiting violations. Got away without getting a post-season ban due to "exemplary cooperation" with the NCAA.

The actual evidence suggests Saban cleaned up Bama's act, that LSU got dirtier after Saban left, that Ole Miss cheated under both Houston Nutt and Hugh Freeze, that Tennessee has been cheating recently and that even teams like UK, Mizzou and MSU cheated during Saban's stay in the SEC.

It doesn't suggest Saban teams were buying recruits at a level that got them looked at by the NCAA while Bama was doing that before and LSU was doing that after.

The evidence suggests he ran "cleaner than normal" programs when compared to his predecessors at Bama, those who followed at LSU and the SEC in general.
