I think the NCAA has known this for a while but did not have subpoena power to do anything about it. The FBI does and they will use info gathered by the FBI to hit universities who are mentioned along with the players and coaches who took and gave money.

This. And the fact that Sexton went to Bama for Avery isn't in question. That's the annoying part. Everyone on Twitter is like "they paid to get Sexton" when that isn't what the story is about at all. He was already an incoming freshman at this point.

Everyone has known about this for awhile

Also it is in their interest to claim him eligible so doesn't matter what they say
Pretty much what I was thinking. : /

Theres no way Avery didn't know Kobie was meeting with Collin's father, right?
I think it goes deeper than just Kobie, but who knows if they'll be able to prove it.
I'm close to being done with the University of Alabama just in general. Most of the people running the show are sleazy douchebags who think they are beyond reproach.

I think there is. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this occurred after Sexton had come here. There wouldn't be much reason for Avery to be in contact with Sexton's dad after the recruitment process.

I'm not very worried about this right now. The most likely negative is Sexton being declared ineligible. They don't anything that would justify major sanctions yet. All we know is that Kobie Baker arranged a meeting between Sexton's dad and a financial advisor.

Bingo. We're golden as far as it comes to plausible deniability. Why would Avery care if Sexton was already an incoming freshman? As far as this story is concerned, Sexton's eligibility is the biggest worry. They don't have anything yet, but if they can prove the exchange of money then Sexton's eligibility is toast.

I'm just passing along info anytime I get any, so here's something else I heard. A pretty good poster on TI said that the 10k given to Kobie was for Kobie's services but no money ever made it to the Sexton's. If it had made it that far, it would've been the same deal as Chuck Person's situation. That's why Kobie was fired but not arrested

That's the big question. If Sexton's family took money from Baker, then his eligibility is gone and the program is basically at the mercy of the NCAA. It would be indistinguishable from the Person case, except that it was an associate AD rather than an associate head coach funneling money to players.

We'd still be in a better position than Auburn. Sexton's never played for Bama and the payments weren't part of his recruitment.
Our biggest NCAA exposure is probably the loss of Sexton as a player.

If Sexton ends up ineligible, we'd have to be the first team to have a former commit get drafted in the first round in consecutive years without ever playing a game of college basketball.

Because the NCAA can't prove shite on their own. Never have been able to, never will. The only way they could prove anything on this particular matter is if the FBI's star witness squealed to the NCAA after all this, and there's less than a zero percent chance of that happening.

But Cam's dad didn't take money. He just talked about it and strongly considered it before making the decision for Cam to go to AU and letting him know by simply telling Cam "It's Auburn".

After reading the affidavit. It makes sense from Bama Compliance point of view that this is one possible scenario:
1.) UA Comp Dept. confirmed that Staff Member 1 = Kobie.
2.) Reached out to Sexton Family for info. Sexton family said nothing happened.
3.) Forces Kobie to resign
4.) Release statement saying: Our review has not identified any NCAA or SEC rules violations nor the involvement of any other coach or staff member. We have notified both of the governing bodies of the actions we have taken. As always, we will continue to be proactive in our compliance efforts.”
5.) Plausible Deniability
This is definitely a scenario we can stand by.

Well, the FBI, apparently, didn't find that any money was paid to Sexton's dad. And the NCAA is too inept to find out either way. So, unless things change, I think we're fine. I'm just hoping nothing changes.
Edit* I should have refreshed my page. I see this was covered already.

Surely with practice starting tomorrow we'll get a press conference soon, and I don't want just "no comment" answers.

I'm praying that's the case, but this is Alabama Basketball we're talking about. ALWAYS expect the worst.
