Nicker I live in Tuscaloosa right now and I was at the dorms last night and they guys neibor is Julio jones. Julio drives a bad ass tahoe that no way in hell he could afford that truck and I asked him what Bama booster paid for that joking around and he said they didn't Stoops did. I was like what are you talking about but he said stoops gave him money (large sum or around 30k) to play at OU. makes me wonder what Saban gave him. Hell Makes me wonder what Meyer gave him because Florida was close to landing him.
He also told me that Saban hired people for the athletic department that goes to every class that his players are in to make sure they are in class and not screwing around.
But you know all univeristys pay players come on thats a givin. its just a matter if they get caught. Hell john armstrong told me last year that studs in the OHL were getting paid some decent money while playing juniors.

Yeah paying players doesnt surprise me .... I Know a couple kids who went to OU and got jobs paying them about 25 bucks an hour to go sit in their vechicles and watch oil wells pump..... It happens....... Why would Julio Jones choose a school built upon def and the running game? Think how much more press and eventually Dollars he would have gotten in the NFL if he would have went to OU or FL.. makes ya wonder what Alabama offered him.......
I mean I am pretty sure it was all the White Women and Cocaine he needed, its all the got there at the U of A lol
