We don't know what happened in Gadsden. But what we do know is Alabama gave thousands of dollars worth of free "textbooks" to players.

Alabama said no one resold any of those to make money. I along with most people with any sense at all don't really buy that. I don't think the NCAA does either. But the truth is it doesn't matter. Alabama "failed to monitor" the whole mess. Which is a "Major" violation. With that being said. It happened over two years and it also falls in the five year window from where your guy Logan Young flat out paid money for a recruit.

So first there is no denying Alabama boosters have broken the rules in the past. So is it so hard to believe all of the rumors flying around about Gadsden. Did everything that is being said happen. I personally don't believe all of it. But there is a history at your school of stuff like this happening. So it is something I believe the NCAA will look at and honestly there may be some things that were against NCAA rules. There sure seems to be alot of talk for nothing to have went down.

I think one thing that is very true that most Bama fans don't agree with is that Saban breaks the rules. I think he contacts recruits during dead periods and the Malone kid from Memphis is a good example of that happening. I do think other coaches have reported it and it may be the NCAA is looking into those as well.

Either way I think you should be looking for some pretty severe sanctions coming and I think the longer it drags out the worse they are going to be.

Sometimes I feel a little sorry for Bama. They seem to have little perspective or common sense a lot of the time.
