I didn't get the Penn State reference until someone explained it to me. We get zero coverage of them down here. They only come on TV once or twice a year, even cable.

Bama had a home and home with them a few years ago. Fans were honored by the opportunity to play them. Now nobody down here even mentions the penn state name. I literally haven't heard them in conversation since they stopped being front page news material. It's sickening.

Anyway, of course it's not that bad. Also, the school and even other boosters try to stop it. It just so happens we have some very unsavory fans. Everybody is terrified that bama (or any other school) will get caught and the program(s) will be destroyed. I would imagine the problem happens at many major universities. I have no idea how to stop it.

Look at Cam Newton. My understanding of what really happened is that Cam knew nothing of the money, and schools knew nothing of money, but boosters gave his dad cash just for the opportunity to talk to Cam. The money was not intended to guarantee Cam's enrollment.

I'm finally jealous of an Alabama fan.
