It was a ton of players, a guy I knew played there at the time and it was basically a way of funneling the players cash. Basically just give them a bunch of books and buy them back at full price.

Then "your friend" is an idiot...the players don't pay for books, and they return them at the end of the course, not sell them to the bookstore. The "value" of the impermissible benefit was what the books and materials they got for their friends would have cost a regular student.

In the words of a fellow poster in response to one of my first threads...

Oh good Lord you're dumb. The textbook system employed by Alabama at the time didn't allow for cash to exchange hands. If you were on a scholarship, academic or athletic, you "rented" the books for a semester and turned them in at the end, otherwise you owed UA money. The problem came with those on scholarship "renting" books for those not on scholarship.

Nice logic.
I know for a fact Florida had the same problem with athletes checking out too many books and letting friends use them. That stopped when Bama got busted and they did their own investigation. One of my best friends was a fairly low profile athlete for UF and said he and everyone he knew did it all the time and didn't know anything was wrong with it until the Bama scandal.
