Trent Richardson's great grandfather was a white man. Knowing this, do you now believe it was plausible that Trent may have been able to afford a car?

I know that down in auburn, people aren't accustomed to seeing blacks with automobiles but, knowing that his great grandfather was white should make you change your opinion about him.

Coach Larry Blakeney also said to say hello. Anybody remember Coach Terry Bowden talking about players coming into his office wanting their pay when he first started in the job?

You are correct.

Everyone cheated, but Saban and Bama took it to a level never before seen.

The biggest complaint about NIL? "They go after the biggest paycheck, nothing more." You think that didn't happen before NIL?

Saban didn't get all those #1 classes just because they wanted to play for Saban. He got them because nobody else was touching the kind of money Bama was paying. People talk about the cars. That was minor compared to the cash.


Bama and Saban never cheated.

When you get a chance to play for the best football coach to ever exist on Planet Earth and for the most dominant teams to ever exist in college football, you beg and plead and offer to pay the school to just be considered.

While all the other teams were paying their players, Bama's players were paying the team to be almost guaranteed to be placed on an NFL roster.

It was a great time.

Occam‘s razor… Saban cheated like a motherfricker, and then when everyone was able to do it, he bolted.

This seems like a fake account, but regardless, we all know we were all (well maybe not Vandy) paying players before NIL. Saban was a master of it at LSU and got even better at Bama leverage their booster machine, but we're all guilty.

I saw it with my own eyes on multiple occasions, as I was friends or in the circle of friends with players in college.

LSU used to love the casino chip method.

Let's just agree it's in the past and we're all (almost) guilty.

Bama probably had the best athlete parking lot, but again, this was the case everywhere to some extent.

One trick is they'd have dealership owners as boosters, but they wouldn't give the kids cars or buy them for them. The athletes "buy" the cars, but the dealership offers zero down, zero payments for X amount of years and can claim it's based on "future earnings potential". Once the player leaves college and the payments are due, they're made for them.

They didn't have more money. They just had less ethics and integrity,
