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.


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.

For potential $$$ though. You rented a book you did not need for free, let someone rent it from you for cash.
