Alabama has a lot of talent and most of their players won’t play. While LSU has a lot of young players and this gives the new players a chance to show their stuff. If you were a recruit what would you choose . A ring or a chance to play and get an NFL contract.
Alabama played 6 true freshman on offense in crunch time of the National Championship.
1.Jerry Juedy
2.Devonta Smith
3.Henry Ruggs
4.Najee Harris
5.Alex Leatherwood
6.Tua Tagoviaola
Plenty of young players play at Alabama every year. Plenty are 3 years and on to 1st Rd NFL money. Nobody has had more 3 and done 1st Rd players than Alabama the last 10 years.

Wonder what would be said if a white recruit had a sweatshirt on that said white in big bold letters.
Right across the front.

Whatever bama is doing with these chargers to players must be legal in the ncaa’s eyes. It is literally a joke on here that there players get these cars and new players keep getting them. Its time to start getting our recruits corvettes or something the same legal way that bama is doing it.
So let's say there is a dodge dealership/owner willing to play ball. He's offering no money down, no payments for 4 years, student discount. We've all seen promotionals, that meet the truth in lending laws, of similar. This is way further than that, but terms are terms.
To be legal in the NCAA's eyes if has to be AVAILABLE, not offered, but available to all of those students. The reason you include the student discount it to limit it to students as part of the loan package and to not make it available to the gen pop.
Like any other loan, and you see it on the paperwork, spoken real fast on radio, and in small print on the TV... such things as "limited supply" and "subject to credit application".
So if your dealership owner is really on board, they don't limit any student. But they don't advertise it anywhere. They aren't required to. But if a random student figures it out, he'll get him one too.
If he's not that invested, they just set the credit score or other requirements high and make exceptions to go low (or do the co-signer thing). This pushes the envelope, but it is better than setting low and then not making it available to a qualifying everyday student. You dang sure can't make exclusionary exceptions, only inclusion exceptions.

Buddy, The Bama players who don’t play would not have gone to the NFL had they chosen LSU. The NFL finds the good players. Remember James Wright caught zero passes his senior year, and he still got into the NFL.

Life is good for Lyndell Mack Wilson. A nice car and championships to play for every year, I would go there too. Lol Not really, I wouldn't sell out my home state like some of these guys do, I'm not making Alabama a winner at the expense of my home state.

Sad. Bama , Bama , Bama you pussies should move to Bama . I am sure you can get a nice trailer on the cheap on a nice piece of ground not to far from the dump

Hypothetically they could limit it to just Bama Athletes. Right?

All players get cost of attendance stipends. Alabama pays OOS about $600.00 per month. These kids can all afford a car note. It's been that way for 3 or 4 years now.
Okay, sucker.

The way to bust it is to figure out:
A) is it limited to Bama only? If not, have a 1,000 LSU students apply. Either the owner will pull the promotion/package or you get 500 lawsuits for denying application.
B) If limited to Bama students only, have LSU/AU/UT boosters pay regular Bama students to go apply as the same in (a).
Much of it goes back to the jobs athletes used to get. $1000 a week to turn on sprinklers on the practice field once a week and similar. $1000 a week is ok, as long as other non-athletes get the same pay/job. Of course no-show jobs are without a doubt a no-no, a big one.
And now-a-days you also have to worry about such things as labor/discrimination laws, private funding for a public job, etc.
That's how schools like Nebraska used to effectively use Preferred Walkons. Why worry about a scholarship when a booster is going to pay you more than the value for such a job. You can't do it anymore, especially with cash, jobs, gifts, apartments, etc.
The 'loophole' is in loans (and 'escrow' money). As long as it's not exclusive to athletes only, and the loan terms are 'reasonable'. 'Reasonable' is defined by the market, and if offering it to a market of 'all students', the NCAA considers it reasonable.
Just remember, the NCAA rules are very vague for a reason (in many cases). It gives the NCAA more room to maneuver AND they do not have a burden of proof. So if they were to go after Bama, or any other school, they could for violating the 'spirit' of the rule. Of course they would have multiple law suits to fight if they do that. Hell, OM and OM boosters were threatening to sue the NCAA and in that case they had specific rules, not 'spirit', violations AND proof. They still feared their lawyers.

The players can get a ring and bask in the sun of the good old days or they can go to a school that is known for putting college players in the NFL and make them millions.

No. Players put themselves in the NFL when the NFL offers them money.
Just kidding.
Bama skips the NFL and puts players straight into the hall of fame.
