None of this should bother you. Just walk into the parking lot of the football ops and you will see why

Bama must have a handshake with the local dealership.

TM7 had one too. My guess is that they get loans based on their potential earnings.

That's still seems wrong if these vehicles aren't offered to the general student population

It’s a joke what Bama has gotten away with.

Lived in the town. Seen the cars. Saban is the best crook.

That said... frick Bama let’s go get em in their house 2019 and turn the page.

Sure it’s silly and shady; but unfortunately all the bigtime programs do it.

College athletes gets stipends for every semester they are on scholarship. Enough to afford the note on a car in that price range. Not saying Bama doesn’t provide benefits or even pay for these cars, but the players have enough money to at least give the university plausible deniability.

It's this right here. Go into any athlete parking and you'll see a bevy of nice cars. They just go with a Charger because it's nice and not as expensive as others

Sabans players drove a lot nicer cars than Chargers when he was at LSU. I remember Addai’s Range Rover well.

Exactly. Akeem has a 500 Series Mercedes his sophomore year at university of Houston. Chris Jackson had two autos while at LSU.

Lets just say i can confirm 2 cars were given to a certain WR and he was not wearing Crimson. So don't blame them because they all do it.

just sayin

The general student population can also get a loan for an auto if they can show similar income potential.

Or a dealership just finances it for a relative. I am willing to bet the players names aren’t on the titles of most of the cars. It’s not that hard to get financing on those cars. Now wether they ever actually pay the note is another issue.

No they don't unless they get drafted and keep it, the lease technically isn't ever tied to the players to my knowledge.
One of the crazier purchases I have seen though is Jackson's BMW I8 he had while in college.
He still has it to I am pretty sure

Edit: and by Jackson I mean the kid from Bama a couple of years back, at the time his car was worth $140,000 lol
