Wow, it's breaking news that Alabama committed NCAA rules violations under Dubose. No one ever knew about that.

Yea I’m sure when Saban got to Alabama the first thing he did was tell boosters to quit paying big money to recruits like they had been doing.

And then after going 6-6 his first season and losing to ULM, he goes out and immediately signs a #1 recruiting class.

Nobody is buying that, so Bama fans need to quit trying to sell it.

Just because you don’t want to hear it, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.


Everyone seems to be content on letting you make a fool of yourself, but I'll do you a favor. That guy is talking about something that happened 22 years ago.

If you still want to continue, you deserve to be made fun of.

This was published yesterday at 840 am and you don’t think it’s been discussed already?

The 2008 class was ranked #3.

The 2009 class was ranked #3.

The 2010 class was ranked #4.

The 2011 class was ranked #1.

Seems like it would be better for everybody with knowledge and evidence of said "cheating" to go ahead and take him down now, right? Why wait? Put it all on the table.


Everyone is doing it. Everyone has been doing it. Thats the point. Saban cries about it and when the facts come out 10-20 years from now, we'll a be laughing at you.

Everyone cheats, some do it more or are better at it. Saban can't out pay people now that its legal.

There has always been a market. The only difference is now we get to know what the prices really are.


Are you sure? Saban disagrees

You can't out pay recruits. That is the whole point of the argument. That is why the NCAA is looking into some schools. It is illegal to say we have this contract worth this much ready for you if you sign with ?? university.

I hope this is what A&M uses as their defense in this.

Naive bro. It's not like any of this hasn't been common knowledge for a long time.

Naming names and pointing fingers is new, so it may appropriately take some shine off Saban and Jimbo's legacies. College football will survive those two cheaters just fine.

I'm not sure Auburn is the right team to be getting involved in the debate about paying players.

I am not so sure there could be a better team than Auburn to expose this cheating.

...having been smeared by bamas idiotic labeling and their setups framed for over 100 years now as they have no other course in those 100 years than to be the biggest cheaters in the history of amateur sports.

NO ONE knows this cheating lowlife better than Auburn

[also easy to see the other two cheating midgets]

College ball is done. Interest in it has been going down for quite awhile; this will make it worse.

No one wants to watch paid professional teams full of bought players play against colleges who dont prioritize winning football game enough to pay MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS for teams like bama, georgia, and A&M to score more points because they pay players more

saban and alabama have killed college football (sports?), kirby smart is just the accent mark on the problem

CHEATING AINT WINNING Sparky

yeah 5 to 10k through 4 years...

then tens of millions paid since Saban - most likely beginning at LSU

The bear bryants, bobby Dodds, Neylands openly admitted cheating. They didnt realize their ethical shortcomings would lead to the death of amateur sports and all of this cheating that fans of bama and THUHGa howl about

Its been openly admitted that everyone cheated during the SWC days too. However some were punished and the others weren't. Politics at its finest

Protect the biggest dog(s) and throw the others to the wolves

I don't think we are going to hear shite. Jimbo's presser yesterday was a warning. Mutually Assured Destruction.

Sankey appeared weak in his admonishment. He sure as hell better be telling all parties to STFU behind the scenes.

Jimbo is alleging Saban cheated years ago.

Literally everyone outside of College Station is saying A&M cheated a few months ago.

Which will be easier to prove? Jimbo has already been busted for cheating once at FSU. Not sure he should be the one leading this particular charge.
