Always been that way.
Remember that bammer paid $200,000 for one defensive lineman from Memphis WELL before saben got there.
The money has been flowing for decades. I would say it all started with bear bryant. He showed most of the coaches how to cheat and win. Our most successful coach (Dye) was great because he learned how to pay for play under Bryant. Jackie sherrill is arguably miss states most successful guy and he learned to cheat under the bear.
The list goes on but I would say the SEC arms race started when bryant amd bammer said "screw the ncaa, we are gonna spend our way to the top".

3. Auburn — Seven Major Infractions: Seven major infractions for now, anyway. The Cam Newton situation aside, Auburn has had a difficult time playing by the rules over the years. Its most embarrassing incident occurred in 1991, when 60 Minutes aired recordings of head football coach Pat Dye arranging a loan for a player. The series of incriminating tapes were provided by former star defensive back Eric Ramsey and unveiled a player payment scheme involving the coaching staff and prominent booster “Corky” Frost. For its wrongdoing, Auburn received a two-year bowl ban, a one-year television and ban and lost 13 scholarships over a four-year period. Dye was replaced by Terry Bowden, who became the first Division 1 coach to go undefeated in his first season but had nothing to show for it.
