I dont have a hard time believing any of that. My friend told me the father of Henry To'oTo'o was given $75K to steer him to the vols. Quavaris Crouch, Brian Maurer and Eric Gray were three others who were named to me. All were supposed to sit the A&M game, but Crouch and To'oTo'o were surprisingly allowed to play. Also, Darnell Wadhington was paid $80K with the understanding he'd sign with the vols, only to take the money and sign with Georgia. Besides the Mims rumor involving tennessee and Georgia, I'm wondering if this is not where some of the smoke started as well.

There was a joke about SMU in the days of the Pony Express that it was the best team money could buy.
If this stuff is true, the sad part to me isn't that it happened. The sad part is that it happened and the team is still 3-7.
Atlanta VOL has implied numerous times that he drops money, either that moron is up to his eyeballs in this stuff and was dumb enough to post about it on a public message board (and is still posting) or he's a fake. I personally think he's a fake but if he's legit as many claim, he made all sorts of representations about being involved with all these recruits, why is the goober still posting even today?Why couldn't I have accidentally stumbled over one of the bags stuffed with cash at one these 'literal money drops.'
The X's and O's aspect of coaching ball ain't rocket science.Yeah that was really stupid but one of those things everyone ignored. Someone on one of the Bama boards said they met Pruitt once a few years ago and he didn't strike that person as being real bright. Some other interesting comments there too. It's almost hard to believe he was in over his head so bad and yet was such a great DC. But that's what his record is.
There's so much more that goes into coaching than X's and O's, teaching, motivating, etc., I think Pruitt comes up short more in those areas than simply the X's and O's aspect.Doofy couldn’t do it
Butch couldn’t do it
Pruitt certainly couldn’t do it
But I agree....there are lost of folks out there who “could” do it.
If you’re bragging about being a money man for college football—or anything illegal like that for any company—on a public forum, you’re most definitely a fake. People who are rich and do shady things like being money men, are smart, calculated, and don’t talk about it. If they’re bragging about it, then they’re probably lying, don’t have as much money as they claim, and have personal issues they need to deal with instead of clamoring for the hero worship.Atlanta VOL has implied numerous times that he drops money, either that moron is up to his eyeballs in this stuff and was dumb enough to post about it on a public message board (and is still posting) or he's a fake.

If you watch ESPN 30 for 30 "Pony Excess", Texas A&M gave Eric Dickerson a Trans AM or as it was jokingly referred to a "Trans A&M". SMU people were able to change his mind and when the car came up as a possible issue.....it was basically agreed upon that A&M could do nothing.
Hey, we gave this guy a Trans AM and he signed with the wrong team. They couldn't ring that bell.
So, Eric got the Trans AM and whatever SMU gave him.
