Careful, you will be called a conspiracy theorist, a tinfoil hatter, you will be told to stop drinking, you will be told go to bed it's late, you will be told to lay off the drugs.

But, you are right. Bama has a long storied history of cheating. They got as close to the death penalty as you can get in the mid 1990s for cheating. Many of the rules of what you can't do in the NCAA rules book were out in place because of the things Bear Bryant would do. Countless photos of wads of cash, jewelry worth tens and tens of thousands of dollars, cars worth more than I can ever afford, jobs given to family members of players at local establishments and across the state. Particularly, the Mercedes plant there in Tuscaloosa.

They're cheating was organized crime level cheating. They damn near did it in the open, because no one would do anything about it when Saban was there. These things are true. He was untouchable for whatever reason.

Most of what I said above are FACTS, some are opinion based on FACTS.

To the ass turds that are in denial, you are apologists and may as well just be Bama fans. I've never understood how any Tennessee fan or any other team fan lives in denial about Alabama's outward and open cheating. I've never understood it. I guess they just feel Bama nearly got the death penalty in the 90s because the allegations were just false and the NCAA was just being mean to them.
‘ass turd’….what other kind is there? 🤓

Saban is also 72 years of age. Yes, he was better at covering it up. From Majors to Pruitt our system had flaws and got exposed by our own doing from time to time and eventually caught up with Pruitt. Us paying 8M for Nico seems “unfair” but is part of the landscape now.
We were outside the lines well before Majors' tenure too as was just about every major program.

Majors gave us Derrick Evans hot tub signing and the boys from Dallas Carter. My clock started at birth during the Majors era.

Totally disagree. When Saban took the job in Tuscaloosa he shut off all information to the program except what he wanted released. That gave him the control he needed to install his own rules. Alabama was so desperate they allowed that to happen and provided benefits to players and give him an advantage to every other school in the SEC and college football. That would never have happened in any other SEC town due to media having access to information. NIL evened the playing field and he knew that he would look like every other coach and threw in the towel.

I have always said, and still believe that the Texas and Oklahoma oil money would have a major impact on the traditional SEC. Especially now since we have open bidding for talent.
Agree about Saban. Player talent was the most significant factor in their record during his years. Also, yes, oil money will help Texas, TAM and Oklahoma but on the national scene Oregon (Nike) stands to benefit the most.

Saban knew that and it is a factor in why he left. He complained about players getting paid even though players have been getting paid under the table for decades. His advantage was he knew his opponents would get penalized for doing the same thing while the NCAA turned a blind eye to Bama. Now he has to work to keep the top recruits while recruiting in the high schools and transfer portal.


😂😂😂😂 god what a sleeze. How does he even keep a straight face

Title IX killed Nebraska’s walk on program advantage. The Sign Stealing debacle has reduced Michigan’s recent advantage. NIL has done the same to Alabama and a couple of other historic powerhouse programs … for now. Once NIL is regulated, it’ll be back to who can get the most cash without getting caught. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Private NIL isn't going to be regulated.
Even if the NCAA gets an antitrust exemption for transfers, it won't affect private NIL at all.
Thank the state AGa from Tennessee and Virginia for that.
