wow. Just wow.

I'd like to see some hard numbers on how many Bama guys stay their senior year and where those guys are drafted. Seems to me like Bama loses as much as we do to the draft.

Assuming your $$$$ theory is true, you honestly think a guy is going to give up a year of NFL dollars ($500k mimiumum, but a hell of a lot more for high draft picks) just to get a few thousand dollars under the table to stay at Bama.

Are you dreaming??

If a guy stays, it's so he can improve his draft stock, not to pocket a few bucks.

And I highly question your contention that Bama is paying their players.

So you think it’s out of the question? I’m not talking about 1-2k here.... I’m talking about lots of money.

Wasn’t there an Alabama player quoted from a couple years ago as saying he was taking a pay-cut to go to the NFL? Their players all seem to be driving nice, new vehicles.

How does a college student, with no job afford a brand new top-of-the-line Dodge Charger? And that’s not to mention the set of 10k 22 inch rims all of them have...

An Alabama official was just forced to resign over steering playing to a firm in Atlanta. I’m sure that was some sort of money-funneling operation.

You sure have a lot of recent posts that seem to defend Alabama.

I went to high school and played ball with a bunch of guys in saban's 2007 class, josh chapman, kerry murphy, patrick crump, etc.. not sure what their class ranking ended up being but it was outside the top ten i know. that next year Saban landed julio jones and star jackson and ended up with the number one class. Julio was a poor kid from foley alabama in high school but chapman and kerry and crump all swore and swear til this day that him and star jackson both showed up to Bama's campus with brand new rides. Julio had an escalade, and the seats were customized with his name in them and the works. Bama got them deep pockets

I would hypothesize that they do both. I'm pulling my tin foil hat out for this theory. It makes perfect sense!
