I mean I highly doubt Saban paid anyone directly. Might have happened but he didn't have to know about it.

Prove they didn't. Here's a couple of articles for you to peruse. Warning, They will leave a mark:

Yahoo Sports Charles Robinson

CBS Sports - Staring down the barrel of a gun

Then, there is my personal experience back in the mid 70's with some high school players. Cars and cash.

Saban didn't know? He was the mastermind behind everything having to do with Alabama football. He micro managed everything!

I do agree that he never paid them directly, but I refer you back to what Rush Propst said a couple of years ago about Saban. He recanted it because of all the heat that he took, but he was 100% correct about everything he said!
