I played for Coach Bryant. If he did cheat, I never was aware of it. He did however go face to face with an NCAA investigator in his office once that I know specifically about. End result, he did break a minor rule by giving a kid a ride across campus in the rain. He shredded the investigator and explained to him that he had promised the boy's momma he would take care of him and that is what he did. Then told the investigator to get the hell out of his office which he did and the investigation ended as he walked out.

I never saw any of the "top" players with "questionable" cars, to the contrary, the QB drove a piece of crap. That is not to say that there were not some perks that showed up at times from booster like the $100 hand shakes but I never knew Coach Bryant to cross that line.

Yes, I know that is only my experience but it is all I have to base my answer upon.
