Having seen recruiting battles between Auburn and Alabama, hearing numerous rumors, and seeing all of the "weird" things that have happened with Alabama players and recruits, I'll go with Alabama. DJ Fluker's car, Trent Richardson's cars/houses and how he supported all of his kids, the whole Brent Calloway scenario, T-Town's Menswear (and it's owner), the fishing trip of Julio Jones and Mark Ingram, Dre Kirkpatrick's nice ride, Julio Jones' nice ride, etc, etc...
I'm not picking on Alabama, I think it goes on everywhere. I just think it's more prominent at Alabama.
Also, I think it should be OK to be able to support some of these players. They deserve some spending money and improper benefits, so long as they can get the same exact benefits from any college they choose. The luxury should remain the same to keep the recruiting game fair. Help them with rent, help them with food, help them with some sort of vehicle, etc...

In fact you are more likely to have a better pro career if you went to OM.
Quality over quantity bro.

Actually I think it's relative to location.
Auburn dirtiest in GA/East AL
Bama dirtiest in Alabama/FL Panhandle/Louisiana
OM dirtiest in Mississippi and Memphis.
Tenn dirtiest in Tenn
Etc...
Everyone has there little locations that their boosters can't be beaten. Actually think LSU is the cleanest program from a recruiting standpoint. Only way to explain the recruiting losses.
Bama and Aub seem to have the widest range of "influence".

It looked to be more than that. And how about Tunsil's recruitment. Alabama UGA battle for the longest time. Takes a late visit to OM. Suddenly ends up there. Must be the trees

1 recruitment makes us the 2nd dirtiest program in the SEC? Not legit

Obviously, they both have other things to offer as well (pretty much anything any other college can offer - cash, cars, sex, parties, etc), but winning can be a pretty good influence on a young recruit.

This guy...
Is still on staff at UofL despite lying to NCAA investigators while he was on staff at UofL over the Miami violations.*
*This will probably get me called a homer, but DGAF.

I wasn't listing them in order. Just when they popped into my head.

I listed four: AU, OM, Clemson, and wherever Urban Meyer is. I'm not singling you out.

Oh I thought you meant listing questionable recruitments. I lost the context somewhere.
Eta: The point stands though, that after 1 recruitment you put us in your top 4 dirtiest programs.

The funniest was after Davin Bellamy's OV to UT last year, he said they spent the whole time telling him why he shouldn't go to UGA. He said that just made him want to go to UGA more
We didn't get Bellamy, but UGA is far from dirty. They are the opposite of AU in that I'm very excited if UGA is our competition.

South central. DGAF if I get called a homer

Someone quoted me on choosing OM because of the in state recruiting solely and I mentioned Treadwell. Then mentioned that he could have the money legitimately so I mentioned Tunsil.

OM cheats deal with it.

Auburn - most corrupt group of boosters funding recruiting
Ole Miss - desperate to belong and Archie Manning's posse trying to make sure Freeze succeeds
I think every team pulls shady tactics here and there but those two go above and beyond what anyone else does.
