BUT we are small potatoes compared to L$U, Kansas, Arizona, Louisville. The Dawkins stuff is bad looking but had supposedly been investigated by our compliance department, was cleared by them and signed off on by the NCAA except for the dinner which was paid back and Collin sat out his 1 game. No coaches were involved, only a staff member who arranged the meeting to steer Collin to the financial advisor. No payment was ever proven. It would be pretty shitty of the NCAA to do more than slap us on the wrist when you have multiple big name head coaches tied directly to buying players.

ETA: especially when that entire staff is now gone from Tuscaloosa. At most, vacate some wins and move on.

This isn't true. The cash payments to Sexton and family and job for the brother didn't come out until October 2018, well after the investigation that revealed the dinner and the NCAA ruling. It's possible that Dawkins' text isn't true but it is also possible that the Sextons were not forthcoming. As I said above, if the part about the job for the brother turns out to be true then the money part is true too.
