re: Serious question for the rant. Do the football players get paid?

I've always wondered about this. Everyone says they do, but I think that would be such a hard thing to cover up. Do you think the major programs today pay their players?

$100 handshakes
Cash from boosters
Church donations
Inexplicable casino winnings

There are many way to pay without getting caught. When you start paying 100's of thousands at a time then it starts getting obvious. Not saying every school does it, but it happens everywhere.

I bet Collins GF is getting paid much more than she is "earning" or at the least gets bonuses that others who do her job aren't getting.

Hell, tasmin Mitchell's uncle worked for lsu. He got a big Christmas bonus and turned around and got an escalade for tasmin with the Christmas bonus. It happens EVERYWHERE.

I'd say more coaches and family friends get paid to steer kids to a school. The remaining ones are paid. Again not saying every kid or every program but a lot more than people think.

I would say this is definitely true. Bama was put on probation for their $180k payment to Means coaches and associates. And if you think that is the only player they did that with, lol. I believe that is what happened with Cyrus K when he committed to AU on signing day but his coaches refused to fax in the paperwork. Also Dee Hart whose HS coaches contacted bama when Dee told the AU coaches he was going to flip.

You probably think Cam & Cecil didn't get paid for hin to go to AU, too.

I personally witnessed $100 handshakes during bowl seasons to a current LSU player. Not saying who. But how you going regulate that?

Of course, bammer gets a pass when the NCAA doesn't even investigate the infractions reported.

Any proof or is that just your barner paranoia bleeding through.....Check your tin foil hat because it may be too tight.

Jim Tressell called up a car dealership and said hook Maurice Clarrett up with a car. Do you consider this getting paid?

So when the NCAA is sent numerous pictures that show a booster giving bammer players extra benefits, that's just swept under the rug. It's a violation for a business to profit from current players, and there are pictures to prove that happened.

Call it paranoia or call it just wanting everyone to be treated the same way. Thirteen months of investigation for AU and not one shred of proof - just internet rumors.

Picture proof of bammer violations and not one visit from the NCAA (that we know of).

What infractions were reported and who reported them? The scam shite will eventually come out probably after its too late to do anything like the HBO 4 .

Uh I was making fun of him




Just FYI

Current players with their signed jerseys displayed in the menswear window. Pictures of current players signing literally boxes of jerseys and gloves. Anyone with a brain turned that in. A booster with hundreds of pictures with numerous players, cars, suits. Julio wearing a different suit to 18 games. If the NCAA had investigated, you know there would have been something uncovered.

If something comes out about Cam later and is proven, then and only then will I accept it.

I notice that bammers don't say something probably went on with albetar - they categorically deny it. Yet AU is not allowed to deny rumors.
