You seem very sure of the accusation about the the SEC, and I'm not doubting them, but to have Saban just flat out deny that was interesting.
So if it was that prevalent then he's a liar, and not sure why he hasn't been called out for it Unless he's untouchable.
Saban gained alot more credibility when he walked away from this train wreck you would think he would of called that out as well.
Now the head of the SEC flaunting those pictures of the Vol fans as if the SEC is the only fan base that travels when it's widely know bowls were always wanting ND because the fan base is two fold.....
1) Nationwide
2)They travel as well.
He looked ridiculous
Maybe I'm too cynical, but I don't trust Saban on this. Remember Auburn and Cam Newton? I don't think it's any different at Alabama. The SEC did this at scale, produced academically empty degrees, paid big money, and ensured athletes could forgo academics and student life.
Again, I'll always believe they went after USC, who did it better than they could. Pete Carroll's the SEC killer. Reggie Bush can't have rims, but Newton and Auburn can be exonerated?
The bandaid has been ripped off. Like I said, the blue bloods now can openly bid and pay for players. Good luck to many SEC teams trying to outbid USC, Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, TAMU, even Notre Dame, schools with richer alumni. Alabama, Georgia, and Florida will hang, having money, not sure about the rest.
Poetic justice.
