Does anyone remember the Top 10 list of dirtiest programs in College Football? Well let me remind you who was #1.1. Alabama. This is all you need to know about the skill and greatness of Alabama. An NCAA committee found that booster forked over $150,000 to a high school coach as a guarantee that a defensive lineman would attend Alabama. Yes -- $150,000. Now that is how you break the rules, people.
Some might say this is old news and has nothing to do with Alabama football today. But the cheating continues in Tuscaloser.
From The Sporting News: Alabama has self-reported three secondary NCAA violations in football since Oct. 16, 2006.Two of the violations came after Saban's hiring on Jan. 4, though one happened without the knowledge of Saban or his staff. Alabama will soon submit a report to the Southeastern Conference on allegations that Saban had improper contacts with three Miami prospects, athletic department spokesman Doug Walker said.
Bama fans can always live in the past though, those long ago glory days of Bear Bryant.....wait the Bear was found guilty of infractions also!
