Travis Johnson says Alabama Offered him 6 Figures During Recruitment



It's the hypocrisy for me. Being able to do it openly instead of under the table has erased their advantage.

Uh, we almost got the death penalty for actions during the era. Nearly collapsed our program forever. Was the reason Coach Fran left in the middle of the night to come to College Station.

Also, an era in which Nick Saban was coaching in the Big Ten and had nothing to do with Alabama or the SEC.

Yep. That big advantage Saban had back when he was paying players to come to Bama in 1999 and 2000 has been wiped away.

How is this relevant? I wonder if A&M has ever given a recruit a car?

Also, is this where we laugh and follow up with "So did you go to FSU out of the goodness of your heart?"

Rueben Foster lived in a pretty big house with a backyard pool when he was in college

My old roommate played for Bama back then and was paid routinely

Travis Johnson was being recruited to Alabama by Mike DuBose, not Nick Saban. Plus...it's a well-known fact that we were put on probation in 2002 precisely because we were paying players to come to Tuscaloosa during that era of our program.
