Excuses excuses.
Do I believe the world of recruiting is 100% squeaky clean? No.
Do I believe the bagman runs around handing out cash to kids all over the place? No. Not today
As far as beating your chest...you have no fukcing idea what industry I've been in, am in etc. None.
I don't feel the need to sound off on a board what I did this morning or last night or tell stories of self serving accomplishmrnts as some measure of validity.
Nobody gives a fukc how fast I can run a mile or booking vacations in the morning.
All this horseshit you speak of has a dynamic that is missing. You touch on it but regardless it's still a ghost.
By your admission the bagman is running rampant. He's everywhere. In 2018 when you can't even take a piss without someone knowing it on facebook for god's sake you think the cheating is going on like a brush fire.
You want to throw nanes around like delusional etc..
Yet...you are the one with ZERO proof. Until violations are charged, arrests made etc
until then it's sour grapes and pissing and moaning out of... jealousy? And that is all you got. Oh and single parents don't fit at Notre Dame.
WTFE
Lol, this not a Court of Law. I'm not being subpoenaed by Congress, or questioned by the FBI. The fact that you think your social media access entitles you to information, is humorous. Nefarious things go on in college football every single day... They're not reported and they're swept under the rug, for two reasons.
1. College football makes an immense amount of money and money rules all. It supersedes regulation and it often supersedes the law.
2. Most of the people involved in the game are financially benefitting (through quality salaries) from kids in their programs receiving a lot of benefits that would make them ineligible by rule. You don't cut off your nose to spite your face... That's why when you run into a situation like a couple months back, when a Miami quarterback recruit puts a picture on Twitter of him holding thousands of dollars in cash, you simply delete it, run a bunch of interference and change the conversation as quickly as possible.
If the FBI did a college basketball style dive into NCAA football, the number of guys getting fined, fired, facing time and the number of players facing ineligibility, would be insane.
You can spin this however you want. You can talk circles about the burden of proof. The reality is that no matter how much I give you from personal account, or from the personal account of others that I trust, you're drowning in denial, so you'll never believe it anyways.
Echowaker played in the Big 10 at Michigan State... He literally watched it happen. I've got more than a dozen friends that coach at P5 schools. I've worked on the ND recruiting beat. The media that follows recruiting are a defacto extension to a team's recruiting staff, especially during dead periods. They parlay information between the recruiting office at schools during dead periods when they can contact recruits and coaching staffs can't... They hear (and report to schools) information all the time.
It's not some big secret... There is just so much money involved that nobody is interested in the tearing down the house of cards, because nobody wins. Not to mention, these schools and conferences are so lawyered up that it's nearly impossible to work through the money they'd be willing to spend to defend themselves. Look at what happened at North Carolina, a basketball power. It was revealed in a long document based on an extensive investigation, that their players were straight up cheating academically.... Dozens of them. Across nearly everyone of their sports. What happened?... Absolutely nothing. Money made it go away. North Carolina was willing to sue the shit out of anyone that came after them and they had the money to make it extremely messy.
These schools have DA's in their back pocket. Nick Saban is probably more powerful than the Governor of the state. You don't think kids are getting money?
I ask you for a 4th time, how do poor kids at Alabama, that can't afford unofficial visits, 2 years later drive around the cars that they routinely post on their social media?... They're full time football players and students. Do you think they have high paying jobs that afford them the ability to buy those cars?
You're asking for evidence... I'm providing it to you... You're closing your eyes, putting your fingers in your ears and screaming "I can't hear you! I can't hear you".
