Dad: Top School Offered Son $600K

[NUance]

I wonder how the whole bribery/payment system works, as in how much money is being thrown around (or at least offered), how it is being delivered, and what measures are taken by a school (or booster) to cover it up when it happens. I mean, people who are accepting payment might not have all that much honor to begin with, so how can the payer trust that it will be kept secret in most cases, knowing what kind of scandal it can cause? Or do they really not worry about it at all, knowing the lack of balls that the NCAA tends to display?

Is there an underground mafia sponsored by specific universities for this sort of thing? Does it come from slush funds from the coaches/AD themselves? Does it just come from loose-cannon boosters?

The whole process is fascinating.

It also makes me not worry about championships too much at Nebraska. With the amount of cheating that is surely going on, I'd rather cleanly go 10-4 every year and occasionally contend for titles than win a dirty championship and be embarrassed by scandal.

I suspect that at most schools--let's just say, OU aTm and the Whorns, for example--the coaches and school admin have nothing to do with bribes and payments. I'd guess, to the extent cash changes hands, it's done by overzealous, crooked boosters acting on their own. At other schools (read: 90% of the SEC) the coaches and administrators don't actually have have a hand in the cash changing hands. Instead, they simply wink, wink, nod nod.

Gotta tell ya though, little things like this could be the beginning of the end for the SEC. Already that Miss St player ratted on Ole Miss. now this. Once all them scumbags down there start backstabbin and rattin out each other, it will be clear that the little boy scout brotherhood code of silence is done. Then the wildwest turns into a shootout.

Or it'll still be alright, just as long as no one gets any extra books.

The NCAA is too busy giving mouth hugs to the SEC that they won't do anything about it.

This is what killed the SWC...Everyone in that conference started tattling on each other and BOOM, end of the conference. History has a weird way of repeating itself.

This.

The NCAA won't do anything about it, especially once everyone starts to implode. The NCAA is already rubbing EVERYONE the wrong way with their rule changes.... if they start beheading programs, guess what. The big swinging dickx of the SEC are gonna form a new league... hell, there is already buzzing about it now. The NCAA isn't stupid... they're not gonna do sh#t.

A 14 team league? I bet tons of people from the north will tune in every week to see who wins the south football championship...that's a money making idea right there

If you are going to come out and say stuff like this, have proof and start naming names, otherwise don't do it at all.
