LINKI know there’s a topic or two on the rant about this but I just wanted to get rid of the trolling and get legitimate thinking between fans do you think this is going anywhere? Dawgnation podcast has already came out with a segment on this but on the link you can hear rush say thousands of dollars were being donated to Chubb for him to stay in school and come back in 2017

of course not. an AU player did a televised interview on national TV talking about beign paid and nothing happened. Everyone knows cam got paid. I have a coworker whose cousin was an all american at AU in the 80s and he said he'd get envelopes full of cash all the time. Everyone knows all the big schools pay. But nothign will come of it.

I also highly doubt chubb was paid close to $200K to return to school, that's just not who chubb is.

Chubb thing sounds like his lloyd's of london policy. We have done the same for PJ. Did it for Gurley as well.

Dried up old man whose 15 minutes have passed. He was scamming kids to a fake academy and is now completely toxic at the HS level and has no way of making a living.

Chubb, does not strike me as the take money type. Dipshit picked the wrong kid to spout off about. Funny part is, even if true, the player would have to cooperate and why would he do that.

I hope the cancers come back soon for probst.

Rush’s whole grift is getting small time business people who want to feel connected to “invest” in him as the next coach. Dropping Chubb’s name was meant to show that he must know things (even though Propst has no connection to Chubb, Cedartown, or UGA for that matter)

I would say Rush did more damage to himself, if its possible to damage his reputation more than it already is, than he did to anyone else.

Making disability insurance available in case a returning athlete gets injured is not paying them. Also, it must be legit because it involves companies, agents, underwriters, etc. It's not something you can hide.

If thats what he's referring to he's an idiot.

As if there weren't 5 post already on this subject on the Rant and MSB.

I would like to know more about "Nub" and why he recorded the call and why he specifically pressed Rush about Kirby and UGA.

Dollars to doughnuts he has a connection to AU,UF or GT

I believe he's the Valdosta TD club president or something like that.

Did you listen to the recording?
They guy specifically pressed him about Kirby and UGA somewhat out of the blue.

Rush just "didn't start to name drop"

My grandfather's brother played a season at UGA under Butts and said that players would regularly get hundred-dollar handshakes (or whatever amount seemed appropriate) from boosters if they had good games.

I doubt anything happens with this. Still stupid as hell that he would spout off about this. Just a case of an old man trying to stay relevant.

No. It won't go anywhere.

There would have to be proof. Propst still wants to coach on the college level, and if he admits to taking money for recruits he can kiss that goodbye.

According to Buck Belue on his show....he suggested this was recorded awhile back when Rush was first getting there. Rush wanted to get a slush fund set up for him as he had before mentioning the police chief delivering cash to him. Since then Rush has tried to get Nub fired and make his wife president of the TD club so he could control the money.

Yea,I heard part of that but its still kind of strange that Nub brought up Kirby...Nub obviously got dirt on Rush from his Hoover days but bringing up Kirby was strange since none of his players ever signed with em.

Rush also brought up Hugh Nall as some type bag man for Kirby.

Hugh obviously played at UGA but was more connected to Auburn in his coaching days.

The police chief funneling money recovered from drug busts to Rush to allow Valdosta to pay players is one of the wildest player payment stories I've ever heard.

From everything I have seen over the years I had no respect for Propst already. Having said that people talk crap not knowing they are being recorded I'm not sure what to think of this. This Nub guy though I would toss him out right away.

We have laws in the State of Georgia that make it a felony to tamper with amateur athletes, seems like a good AG would investigate a hs coach with all this knowledge of how players are paid at the HS level. Bragging about evidence money used to by hs players, man that seems felonious.
