Supporter of Georgia HS FB powerhouse records HS coach, implicates Alabama and UGa

So does this mean we’re looking at another Missouri bowl ban? 

This just in..........Judge throws out the case concerning Alabama because......Roll Tide!  This is how I see this ending.

Will anyone even bother to ask Emmert what he thinks of this?  Ask him if they will investigate it?  

Emmert: "Nothing to see here.  Move along"

Old news. Probst has a very checkered past as well. Alabama paying someone has nothing to do with the fact that Harbaugh lost control of his program last year and had to overhaul his entire program for 2021. Michigan has good players as well but very poorly coached. 

Change the rules or enforce the rules.  It’s just a joke. 

That's it?  Seems pretty clean for $EC.

Find some dead hookers, weapons sales or sex slave trafficking here if you want a story.

Funny $ and some corrupt yocal cops bagging for the footbaw team is par for the course. 

Wait, so the coach who was willing to whore out his high school kids to MTV in the 2000s, was exposed for having TWO wives and families simultaneously in different states, was fired from two different HS powerhouse jobs (one for allegedly changing grades, plus the whole "has another family in another state" thing; the other for allegedly giving players pills while misusing booster funds) is now in trouble at a THIRD football powerhouse while--again--being exposed as a total piece of shit?

This is my shocked face.

Do you guys realize we're probably one of the only programs that even cares about this?  I feel like we're sitting on the side of the freeway with a radar gun and every car that passes us going faster than 65 MPH we're recording their licence plate number and sending the plate and radar gun evidence of their "crime" to the state highway patrol and expect tickets to be handed out to the scofflaws travelling in speeds over 65 MPH after the fact.

Nobody gives a shit about this but us and maybe a handful of other schools which is why nothing is being done about it.  

haha...

the NCAA will do nothing - you could literally have Saban handing out bags of money to recruits on 5th Avenue, and nothing would happen as a result.

the NCAA is gutless, toothless and feckless.

While I have many questions about possible corrupt practices entrenched in southern society that enables seamless money laundering from police drug raids to football recruits, the most obvious question to me is why in the hell are UGA football family members demanding moving help and living expenses for Valdosta, GA?!   That's like four hours away from Athens and the UGA campus.    And extreme southern Georgia doesn't strike me as a place where many California transplants aspire to live.   

SEC teams dropping bags?

Ok, cool. Hook'em

We could pay recruits way more than that.

I guess Michigan just needs to start advocating for some kind of pay the players system because it's obvious there already is a black market system to pay players in the south (and elsewhere certainly). Absolutely no one down there cares because winning is everything and the NCAA isn't going to do a thing about it. It's either get a way to level the playing field or watch this continue to happen

And we know if Michigan tried to pay players, we would be the one big school to be punished because our local media would turn on us in a heartbeat and our admin would play along. This Propst guy is going to be getting threats down there

If anything comes of this, it'll be from the police department providing confiscated money. It's one thing for boosters to pony up from their own pockets. It's quite another for local law enforcement to become involved in a material way. I'm not talking about looking the other way when Jameis Winston sticks a package of crab legs down his sweats. Lawyers will now start looking at previous convictions in a new light, claiming their client was targeted because the football "booster" fund was running low. That's the crossover to where the feds can get involved.

Yea, no shit

Every school give extra benefits to players. I don't even care about this anymore. It's common knowledge.

You missed the best lines in the article. Nelson, trying to get off the phone with the reporter:

"I'm in here with one arm trying to fry some chicken."

Then when the reporter thinks it's a euphemism,

"Really, I do have one arm, and I'm frying chicken right now. Can you call back?"

Glad someone said it.  I don't have the time to read the article yet.  Is this coach on the record and willing to tell the NCAA with names and instances with proof?  If not, nothing will come of it.

Entirely, completely unsurprised. Except maybe that it's only two SEC schools involved.

College football is being ruined by corruption; it's become about who is best at cheating.

SEC CHEATS......HIDENBURG CRASHES!!!!   MAN LANDS ON MOON!!

It's all true I'm sure and also a nothing burger.

Sadly, nothing of substance will come of this.  I'm sure UGa and Alabama will deny it, say this wasn't something they knew, etc.  And because the SEC makes everyone money it'll be pushed under the rug.

Again, all of these are just breaking rules the NCAA set (except for the failure to pay taxes part, which is why situations like LSU become big-deal investigations), so at some point I hope the NCAA recognizes this and transitions to a more realistic model where teams and players can share the wealth they generate fairly. 

At most they may have to vacate a win or two from Chubbs time. But probably still too harsh of a penalty for the NCAA to hand down to their precious SEC. Georgia State may lose a few scholarships though.

Not sure how it makes sense to think that a RB who was draft eligible and highly regarded would decide to forego NFL cash and instead play his senior year in college for $180,000.

lets not forget LSU BB  coach caught red handed ON TAPE and yet what has the NCAA done to them after what 2 years????   the NCAA is and will always be a total JOKE wioth ;little to zero credibility...its time to Gut the NCAA and starrt from scratch

Everyone knows that CFB recruiting involves cash payments and material favors to recruits & families.

But it seems unrealistic to expect the NCAA to go after any of the offending institutions at the same time they're facing public and even political pressure to allow payments for players. The public has been sending the message to the NCAA for several years now that it's more or less broadly in favor of players getting paid and as a result no-one is particularly upset about such practices, even if they might technically be illegal a lot of times.

Of course, hidden payments in violation of the rules have a different market dynamic than an open bidding system. And even if you're in favor of players being paid it's obvious that the payment schemes often are set up in a way that would be deemed corrupt and in line with organized crime practices in regular industries like say construction.

But open legalization of payments would bring about a necessary total restructuring of the entire CFB system with many losers, and it doesn't seem like there's the necessary political muscle behind that either. So we're in that in-between phase where payments are widely made and more or less tolerated but officially still prohibited with strong potential penalties attached. Michigan simply needs to adapt to that reality.

Isn’t the implication of the article that the coach made the claims about Bama and UGA as false boast in order to leverage his own position, rather than a statement of fact? Pretty thin. 

"the city's police department gave him cash confiscated in drug raids on Interstate 20."

Coach: "How do we funnel illicit, hard-to-trace cash to my star players & their families?"

Booster: "Simple. We'll give the cash in paper sacks to my flunkies, who will drive up and down I-20. I'll call the city cops and tell them a particular vehicle is involved in drug dealing on I-20, and they'll stop the "dealer" and secretly confiscate the cash without recording it in the case log. The cops will then say there's no evidence of money or drugs, my flunky will be let go with no formal arrest, and we'll repeat the process next month."

NCAA be like "ha, yeah we knew this already...OLD NEWS.  We took away some lunch time in the end"
