This crap is not new.

I had a buddy that got $10,000 on a visit to a team from Florida in the 1970's which almost doubled what he had gotten from all the other schools combined. He got total fo about 21 or 22,000 but didn't get a single scholarship offer from any place that he go money.

That's crazy but since Alabama was recruiting him, all these other places wanted to see him and once they did, no offer but he still got paid.

He ended up at Southern Miss and played well for them and got a degree, taught school and coached for many years.

Kids have always gotten paid, it's known now.

If these were white kids making money, no one would care. But people here get jealous when they see 17 year old black kids pocketing a bunch of cash, and baws are scraping the bottom of the barrel to pay their F150 note

honestly if you take your whole family somewhere for a weekend that's what it costs to do it really comfortably.

Airfare = $300 for domestic business class tixketsx4 $1200

Ubers = $500

.. so give it to em. If you think they're worth it.

How much could the LSU QB get to transfer next year?

Or a couple of the Bama LB's that are great but 2nd string?

Why doesn't Saban put out a chart showing who is 1st string vs 3rd string?
