I think Ricky seals-jones said a school offered him 600k.

We upped it to 500k that's the number I heard thrown around multiple places.
The cash handed out in program history might not hit these figures. Hardly anyone gets cash. Plenty of impermissible benefits going on but the stories of signing day bonuses are cooked up bullshite.
Easy overpaid jobs are the biggest "common" NCAA violation. That goes on everywhere. Even at the non power 5 places.

Finally,
Someone talking sense. There's no doubt this is taking place, but this board is making it sound like all top recruits are bringing in $300,000 or better. Anybody remember what Cam Newton's price was? Nowhere near this.
Think more along the lines of a mustang with deferred payments for 3 years, or a part time job paying absurd amounts of money per hour. This is the kind of stuff that sneaks by.
Let's say Bama offers a kid $300,000, but he signs with LSU. Why wouldn't he come public and say Bama offered big money and hurt a rival?
The less blatant the indescretion, the less the NCAA is involved. If everyone is throwing around a half million and more, don't you think more universities would get burned?
Keep in mind the Tunsil texts. It wasn't "hey coach, remember the $400,000 you gave me"? It was something more akin to "mom needs help with the rent this month"
Small favors over 4 years that add up to big payoff
