This is a legitimate question.

I read allot of articles abou about schools flat out handing cash to recruits (not just the ones that got caught, others as well). Oklahoma bought Jermain Duprees mother a double wide trailer after the threatening not to come back to school.

This this still going on?

are schools like Alabama, LSU, USC etc committing huge NCAA violations and the reason why they are ending up with top recruits year after year or are we not as good as them (right now)?

Reason I ask:
could some of these recruits that are trolling schools are out there shopping for someone who will pay now form stories they heard etc?

Yes....

Mostly cash payments made to street agents and parents.

I don't think the kids get the money as often anymore after the Cam Newton ruling.
 
I don't think recruits get paid.

Once they step on campus and the agents see potential, they get students to make contact with the athletes.

They are defintely getting paid still. Seastrunk got paid to go to Oregon. Alot more street agents and outsiders getting involved in these kids recruitment.

Can you imagine this guy in a double wide?

And yes recruits still get paid. The payments get more and more clever every year to hide from the NCAA. Search for the John Wall thread where it mentioned churches laundering money. Recruiting is and always will be a dirty game.

Today on the Sedano show that Gaytor Cowdar basically came out and said players got money implied people like Chris Leak an others (forget the other names). Talked about 3 of them getting a house to live in for free
 
My buddy goes to Manhattan college for basketball & it happens there, so major football I'm gonna say he'll yeah it happens. At manhattan it's just a simple handshake with boosters with a $100 bill in it.
 
It's pretty obvious that the NCAA looks the other way in some of these cases

Yes. Look at the class Ole Miss is putting together. I'm sure their salary cap is approaching 8 figures at this point.

that's what i'm saying. your buddy is a collegiate athlete.

but I think it's much more difficult and risky to get the $ to a high school kid.
 
aren't school concerned some of these players might get ****ed one time or another and run to the NCAA?

lol yes.


The NCAA is simply looking the other way, they let it get so out of hand that they would have to put all of the top programs in the country on probation if they even wanted to stop it, which will cost them a ****load of money, which they don't want to lose.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see them go after a few of these programs when they are proven to be down. It's one thing to go after LSU and Alabama right now, while they compete for #1 and #2 every god**** year it seems, and it is quite another to go after these schools when they are averaging 7 or 8 wins.

It should not be discounted that these guys all belong to a "good ol' boys" club, where they have certain verbal agreements not to go after each other for infractions in return for mutual profit. Additionally, the NCAA members of this club will constantly make trouble for recruiting enemies who do not wield influence and who are therefore not members of the club (like Miami).
 
Every university cheats. Its a matter of who gets caught. Just like life. Just like criminals. Just like the kids in school who would cheat off your work and had you not let it happen they wouldn't be in college. Yes it still goes on a lot. Most just aren't flamboyant enough to broadcast it. Just like high schools that are good at a sport for 30+ years. Something's up. You mean to tell me that one school district is soooooooo athletic that other schools can't compete. Same thing with college.

In the $ec, football is an economic strategy.

At l$u, the school reported annual football revenue of $69.4 million in 2009-10, a sum that includes everything from ticket sales and fan donations to conference TV payments. l$u also reported that its Baton Rouge, La., campus generated a total of $488.9 million in revenue from all sources, tuition included. By these figures, football accounted for 14% of l$u's gross income.

alabama, which reported football revenue of $72.8 million in 2009-10 (the highest for any school sampled) and total campus revenues of $660.8 million, earned a final mark of 11%.

Football revenues do not measure the donations of alumni and supporters who are largely inspired by their feeling of connection to the football team. And there is no connection stronger than a $ec alumnus and his school. This is why they don't get caught. Everyone has a VESTED interest in the success of the football program. Chamber of Commerce, media, the business of high school and middle school athletics, local recruiting agencies. . .

In alabama, it's a way of life. It's in the language, the clothes, the media----alabama is a cult-ure. Soon as you step your pinky toe in alabama, they don't ask "What's your name?" They ask: bama or auburn? And your whole social interactions are based on your answer. Same at l$u.

l$u Chancellor, Mike Martin, who has also served as President of schools in the Big 10 and PAC 12 conferences, told the Journal that he has never worked at a school whose fans are so passionate about football. He stated that he believes that donors are willing to put their money where their mouths are.

And they do. Car rentals for a dollar. Suits for ten. A "black card" to specific stores, bars, restaurants, cell phones, casinos, rims, etc. Wealthy alumni can place parents into jobs, apartments, cars, etc. , leave no paper trail, and NOBODY is talking.
