Thats what im saying its kinda hard to believe that this happens as often as ppl on here say it does
You don’t have to suppose.
Is it every player on every team in the SEC? Of course not.
Alabama and Georgia are the worst. With other SEC team is behind them like Florida, Mississippi, Mississippi State, not Vanderbilt etc.
My guess would be that probably Georgia and Alabama might have around 20-30 players each that they’re paying a bundle. All handled by boosters. I would say the booster payoff budget at Alabama is around $3 million per year, conservatively. That’s peanuts, for what it returns on the investment.
People have tried to rat the SEC out and it just falls on deaf ears.
Just google the Auburn players that admitted on an HBO sports program, they were paid. Nothing done. Cam/dad and Miss State and Auburn - nothing done. Tunsil and Ole Miss - where’s that at? Numerous SEC players in the NFL have openly talked about it, they’ve actually been quoted.
Or there are posters here that personally know guys they played with. As do two guys I personally know.
The fact is, those are the ones that have talked. Most people don’t want to snitch and I don’t blame them. I’ll never rat on my friends. What good would it do them? Snitching usually ends up hurting them in the long run and they know it. There’s very little upside.
Including the fact they’re admitting a source of income for which they now would have to pay penalties, back taxes, and could conceivably go to jail for income tax fraud/evasion or not reporting income at the very least. Theoretically, anyway.
It’s a built in fail safe. Mutually assured destruction. There’s a strong incentive not to report large gifts of cash.
See how that works?
