re: BREAKING Alabama Associate AD took 25k to steer players to Atlanta financial advisor

It will be interesting to see how different the NCAA approaches this situation
compared to the Ole Miss situation. LOIC's all around ?

Here's the thing. An AD for BB admits he took money.
No where yet is any other name said to have received any of that money.
Not a player, coach or ball boy.

---

So what was he paid to do ? Was he paid for doing his job or for being a nice guy. Or is UAs argument that he received this money but never passed any of it to the player. What incentive did the player have ?

Just curious but reading the ESPN article on these guys do we think it might lead to football as well?

Blazer also agreed to one other condition as part of his plea agreement: He became a cooperating witness for the FBI, providing information that sparked the investigation into the relationship between college basketball coaches, financial advisers, sports agents, marketing officials and apparel company employees in recruiting NBA-bound players.

Sometime during the fall of 2016, a mutual friend introduced Blazer to Rashan Michel, a former NBA and Southeastern Conference referee. After leaving his NBA referee role in 2001, Michel opened Thompson Bespoke Clothiers in Atlanta, which sold high-end, custom-tailored suits. His clients included NFL players such as Todd Gurley, Teddy Bridgewater, Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans, among others. In 2014, Michel designed the suits worn by the top seven picks in the NFL draft, according to his social media account. This past spring, former LSU tailback Leonard Fournette and former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson were among the players who wore Michel's suits on the first night of the NFL draft.

The assumption is everyone did it.

Unless you mean Reebok or Skechers are getting in that class action lawsuit

---

Example: Auburn (UA) loses a recruit to MSU (Adidas) after which they find out that Adidas paid the player to go to MSU. Player leads MSU to the Big Dance, while AU misses out by a few games and ends up firing their HC. AU sues Adidas for lost revenue and for the remainder of the former Coaches contract. Former Coach sues Adidas for loss of job due to their interference. Using MSU and AU are poor examples, but you get the picture.

During a telephone call between Michel and Blazer on Sept. 8, 2016, according to the complaint, Michel said he had access to team locker rooms and players, and also boasted about being able to connect Blazer with other coaches. "The good thing about it is," Michel said, "I got all the college coaches right now because, guess what, I'm the one that's with them. I make all their suits.

This guy was the middle man(bagman)and if I am Clemson, UGA, and other schools whose players are being mentioned I would be worried right now.

What did the news release say? He received the money. No where does it say he shared that money with anyone.
Maybe he was supposed to but he was greedy.
If a player or coach got no money it stopped with him.

Maybe, but what were the odds for that happening ? The player may be young, but he and his family know the game if they were asked to meet with another individual. Either that or they were told a lie for the meeting.

Ok disregard my last sentence in that post

Phan, can you also explain the events that led to an Auburn assistant being arrested.

You still have never answered my question. If you hate this place so much and hate all the "retards" in it, why do you go through so much effort to be here?


I will be honest i do get a kick out of your constant alters...
