It's interesting. Not that Bama coaches didn't tell the recruits what is going on, but the comments by bama fans calling it muckraking and to report on other stories. Interesting.

Dude, you have 6 posts, 5 of which are all caps. Your opinion is not that important.

No school would tell recruits they were under investigation if they didn't have to. This is dumb.

. Some how rationalizing that we're BAMA, so screw playing by the rules.


A couple of players loan books they got off their scholarship accounts to friends, and you read THIS into it?

...Oh yeah, just a couple of players loaning out their books. Just because one ran up a $1600 charge to the athletic department is no reason for the NCAA to be looking into this...

Just going by the defensive posture from the talking heads. Since when do we throw scruples out the window? It has to be rationalized that we are above the rest, and are not accountable.

Agree. Personally I would be pissed if Miles or Porter were telling recruits we were under investigation when nothing may come of it at all.

Anybody know what the investigation is about?

Either way, I bet that no elite recruiting program is 100% truthfull to their recruits and vice-versa. Recruiting is sort of a sales pitch for both sides. They will amplify the good and sugar coat the bad.

So what?

The only reason this is news is because it's Bama. If this had happened at another school, no one would really care.

All scholarship athletes books HAVE to be returned at the end of the semester or the student has to pay for them, as was the case here.

Real great way to "scam" money.

Quit being a dumbass. Had they not been caught that's a (minimum?) hundred bucks free per student who received stolen books.

I agree. He probably kept at best $600 of the $1600 for his own books. That means he pulled $1000 of books for his friends. So, instead of buying $1000 worth of books and selling them back for $200 at the end of the semester, he probably rented them out for a semester for $400-$600 bucks (much cheaperr). Not a bad scam at all...
