Since 2010, University of Alabama records show UA has paid JRM Enterprises – a Tuscaloosa-based advertising, marketing and design company founded in 2005 by Jon Mason and operated by him ever since – a total of $245,600, categorizing the payments under "service and professional fees."


Is the University not allowed to purchase services of other companies? How exactly is this shady? That is about $41k a year. Hardly seems shady to me.

How many sports threads are on tRant currently? I'll wait


The rant being shitty is no defense. I literally could not care less that the governor got his dick sucked and is handing out shady deals. Get back to me when this is a recruit's dad's company, or maybe a recruit's dad's church.

Even less shady when you consider the Mason's ties to WVUA, the Tuscaloosa based and UA owned TV station. That's where a lot of this ties in with UA.

I think the more interesting take away from that article is this quote:

quote:

The payments continued through last month, as the university disbursed $45,450 to the company via PayPal on Feb. 9 alone.


Is it common for multi-million dollar organizations to pay legitimate marketing firms through paypal?

Doesn't it seem like the only fans that enjoy slobbing on Bama knob is Arkansas fans and Aggies? It's quite showing of the inferiority complex.

It actually is becoming fairly common for companies to use Paypal to handle their eCommerce side. Paypal & eBay split a while back and the Paypal side has made a big push into the business market.

Now, as for the OP - Mike Hubbard's trial is scheduled to start in about 6 weeks so this might be a good time to remember the old adage about stones and glass houses.

Yes. Paypal's accounting system is better than a lot of banks

I don't know about that, but PayPal offers a lot of b2b services that compete with banks.

ETA: treasury management services are a big money maker for banks and companies like PayPal

Seems that UA has been making large payments to the husband of Govenor Bentley's mistress for several years. According to al.com


I imagine this is from a secret source that is really an Auburn supporter... Probably like the Gene Jelks situation where Auburn boosters were paying him money to squeal to the NCAA on Bama!
