This doesn't necessarily mean that the entire program as a whole cheats in everything that is done, but it doesn't give an Alabama fan the foothold to argue against it either. As far as the media goes, yeah, I can see it. I won't subscribe to the notion that the REC controls every single media outlet in every single state, but I certainly believe that the state media and ESPN lean to Alabama. It's all about money. I mean, the Press Register had more Bear Bryant coverage in yesterday's print paper than they did about the 9/11 anniversary. Bear Bryant was on the front page. You can't argue that shit.
Yes. It does. Luther Davis is a booster. John Philips is a booster.
Where this "so glad it wasn't a booster" bullshit came from, I'll never know.
And after this, T-Town Menswear, Hot Wheelz of Mobile, Tom Al-Betar
still being associated with the program, John Philips bragging that he spoke with Saban regularly, the recruitment of Kuondjio, Foster, Liner, Yeldon, and Calloway, etc. It's now a pretty big fucking leap of logic to assume Saban knew nothing about any of this. And even if he didn't? Just how the fuck do you define Lack of Institutional Control, because it's here in spades. That is, if he isn't orchestrating everything, which you'd be a fool to believe he isn't.
By the way, Bama's still on repeat offender status and will be until June 10, 2014. They were still on probation at the time of all this cheating, which ended June 10, 2012.
