Didn't Fulmer snitch on Alabama while doing the same exact thing (offering money to Albert Means)? No, he didn't offer money. What's your source on that lie?

Does this help you to understand a little better?

"In the end, despite being an early participant in the pay-for-play negotiations, Tennessee did not recruit Means, and we later found out why. Early in the recruiting process, Tennessee assistant coach Pat Washington -- who was the starting quarterback for Auburn in the mid-1980's, including during the 1985 Iron Bowl -- recruited Means for the Volunteers, and Lynn Lang sensed his desperation. Early on, anyway, with Washington making the early offers, Tennessee was in the bidding process as well.


"He told me his job was on the line and that he needed Means because he had lost David Paine and Kindal Moorehead to Alabama. The first amount he talked about was $50,000, and then $75,000. But this was about the same time they had all that academic stuff [the Linda Bensel-Meyers allegations] going on, so I think he got cold feet."

With that, Tennessee backed away and did not actively recruit Means. But they didn't just fade away, they blew the whistle on Lang."
