its the weirdest thing to me on this board seeing people act surprised that cfb players were paid under the table by boosters/big money alums. Its extremely naïve to think that most every power 5 school's boosters/big money alums weren't doing this prior to NIL.






That's why the comments about NIL "leveling the playing field" are so dumb.

The big dogs will continue to be the big dogs, they just pay openly now.

Yes. Many times. Here is one...

Chris Simms admits he took money from UT boosters


That is crazy. I would just assumed admitting it would be frowned upon.

Here's the exact quote:

"It’s the way the business worked back then," Manziel said. "There was a bag man. There was a bag man at LSU. There was a bag man at ‘Bama. There was a bag man at every school around the country if you were competing for a national title. It is what it was, and it was always that way until we’re into the NIL portion of everything now, the way it should be.”

And here's an oldie but a goodie for anyone who is convinced his program is clean as a whistle:

Meet the bag man

Sometimes they were paid over the table. I remember watching Odell Beckham Jr. hand out cash on television.

Fred Taylor admitted to getting a duffle bag of $50k cash from UGA, then chose to go to florida.. This was back in the 90s.

He said NOTHING substantive during that entire interview, and that's NOT a very believable individual.

How can you believe anything a Junkie says? It may be true but would need a more credible source.

Here. At this point, being that horn fans are the only ones “trolling” A&M every day. Get our dicks out of your mouths, your moms and wives mouths, and kids mouths. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re holding a dildo with one hand, and typing on the phone with the other. Fàg.

He said his dad didn't tell him until years later. Big lie.

At the beginning of the full interview he said he was sober.

I have not seen any recent pics of him going on benders so that may be true.

Most people on tRant know that every team in the SEC funneled money to players except Vandy and UofA.

Vandy because they didn’t care about winning and Bama because we are above cheating and not playing fair.
