Rush Probst Iyam. The truth of the matter is there has always been legal and somewhat legal ways for programs to get money to prospects and their parents and every head coach in D1 knows these methods. Most will participate and very few won't.
The problem with Pruitt is that he is a sociopath and only one man (Saban) can manage him at all. Simply put, if he wanted to get money to kids for any reason, he didn't have to stuff fast food bags with cash. He could have simply found a friend of the kid in the area and had a bag man deliver money to that friend. It would have been slimy but he would have been at 2 arms lengths away. He's a great DB coach and maybe a great DC but if you hire him, you'd better have a plan for managing him because he isn't capable of managing himself.
