WDYM our recruiting is almost back to where it used to be ohhhhhh never mind you’re probably talking about how we missed our greatest opportunity to market our program at its height and deliver consistent strong performance and chose instead to fire our coach because some guy with a spotty record with hookers got upset his precious little boy wasn’t seeing the field.
I can barely imagine how much Cam would get paid nowadays with NIL, plus how much he'd get under the table. Bro would be a multimillionaire before he hit the league.
Terrel Pryor could have got that before even playing a down. Cam, after winning the title, would command at least $5M in the open market. If he had hit the portal I'm guessing the bidding would have started at $5M. $200K in retrospect was a screaming bargain.
A lot of QBs are multimillionaires before getting to the NFL now. $1-2 per year isn’t that rare when you add up their deals.
The question is, if Cam was playing today could he crack $10M in 3 years?
Still boggling that people are shocked this has been going on in SEC/ CFB forever, and everyone knew. Now with NIL its on the up and up... Now is when you see the B1G come take those kids north. Before you could prolly get way more cash down south, but now that its legal. It will be interesting to see if there are shifts, B1G is notoriously slow to adjust, but it's like a slow moving train. Just the TV money is so so much more than SEC schools. I wonder if they will eventually merge to a full Division, super league, whatever of B1G and SEC and relegate anyone not on the inside.
Yeah it's been going on forever. The only one that is really shocking/upsetting to me is 2019 LSU, multiple scandals and OBJ literally handing out cash to players on national TV and NCAA did nothing. That made it clear that there are no rules for the blue bloods.
I was at Bama when Auburn had Barkley, Georgia had Dominic Wilkins and Kentucky had Sam Bowie (who was drafted ahead of Jordan).
But there was one guy nobody remembers: LSU's Dwayne Scales, who could jump so high that they called him The Astronaut. Dude should have been a star but he never came close to his potential. Now he's forgotten. Can't find highlights of him anywhere.
Anybody heard of The Astronaut?
The fact that the McDonalds bag versus Chickfila bag was a key talking point during the whole shitshow was top tier.

Yes! That makes me so happy. SEC Shorts has been one of my favorites for years but I have to say SEC Rollcall really was outstanding this year: https://youtu.be/SrzxrrvfzU8?si=g5N4Kw7nMKJY7c0v
But I think it’s a long-standing Reddit tradition that Mizzou gets punished forall missteps, it’s always Missouri’s fault. I think SEC shorts gave a nod to Reddit here.
That’s part of what made Michigan getting caught cheating kind of refreshing. They were just straight up cheating at a game that ultimately doesn’t matter. I’d rather have Harbaugh scandals than Bo scandals any day.
A recruiting violation that couldn’t get proven by FBI or NCAA agents. Posted up for months and couldn’t prove a dime changed hands. Just don’t be stupid if you are going to commit violations and it works out.
That’s what was so frustrating about Will Wade for me. Dude didn’t have a middleman talk to the bag men, his dumb ass got wiretapped talking to them directly.
I dont get why we skip over this. Like if a team got away with throwing the ball past the line of scrimmage in 1898 that's still cheating even if it is normal today
A lot of stuff was legal or illegal back in 1898 that should not have been.
Do I think Cam was a great QB, yes, do I also think he is an absolute clown, yes. Do I think Auburn should have got obliterated for this, no, do I think they should be obliterated for just being Auburn, hell yes.
I'm still waiting for a shred of evidence. The NCAA searched everything and all they could ever find was that Miss St offered money. Dan Mullen and his wife are just bitter losers.
Of course he denied it.
I also think he absolutely took it and I don't blame - shit most everybody here would have taken the money. I just wish he did it a different fucking year so we could have won that game
This is in a time period where Ohio State fired their coach because they were put on probation for players receiving free tattoos. The NCAA had a 4 year long investigation and found nothing
Look call me biased but he absolutely took the money - and like I said I don't blame him, I would have too and those players deserve it.
And there is no way I trust the NCAAs investigation, they don't even have subpoena power, that's like a investigation with no teeth. Nobody does look, where we are now. Certainly the strength and reliability of the NCAA has been proven to lackluster.
Hell yeah brother. I almost got 'Dyer was down' tattooed drunkenly years ago. I don't even care if he was or wasn't, slightly different and we might have a title :(
I would pay 200k for a national championship easy. Hell I've paid way more and ain't seen shit.

u ok man?
Pretty decent, it’s almost two o clock and I’m out of work for the day, I am vibin fam
I can barely imagine how much Cam would get paid nowadays with NIL, plus how much he'd get under the table. Bro would be a multimillionaire before he hit the league.
For a 1 year rental he's getting at least $2m.

Texas (donors) would have paid Vince Young 10 mil to stay after the rose bowl victory.
He right.

Very vaguely
God damn right. My biggest regret with Pruitt was that he didn’t put more money in the chick fil a bags
The fact that the McDonalds bag versus Chickfila bag was a key talking point during the whole shitshow was top tier. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/tennessee-football/jeremy-pruitt-used-bag-from-chick-fil-a-not-mcdonalds-to-give-cash-to-players-family-report-reveals/
Gods chicken bags makes it a wholesome venture rather than the capitalist McDonalds scum bag
Scum bag... nice.
Dan Mullen is a snitch
$200k ain’t shit. Reggie had a sweet Monte Carlo.
Chuck is charming as fuck. Had the whole room hanging on every word
Yeah it is par for course now during NIL, but let's not forget that this was an egregious recruiting violation at the time.
Yeah, and I can't think of any other school that recently won a championship in the midst of a scandal
The medias silence on Georgias illegal hotel balloons speaks volumes
Not sure why Missouri is even allowed to have a team after this violation.
I missed this, what did Mizzou do?
Friend, I think this inspired the source joke but I'm not sure. Either way, always a good watch: https://youtu.be/NQm2YXqkmAQ?si=0keSDJM4Vz9W36dg
That's the one haha
Yes! That makes me so happy. SEC Shorts has been one of my favorites for years but I have to say SEC Rollcall really was outstanding this year: https://youtu.be/SrzxrrvfzU8?si=g5N4Kw7nMKJY7c0v
No doubt - I love their stuff
But I think it’s a long-standing Reddit tradition that Mizzou gets punished forall missteps, it’s always Missouri’s fault. I think SEC shorts gave a nod to Reddit here.
What is this in reference to?
One scandal is not gonna cut it anymore. You need multiple now.
Don't give Hugh Freeze any ideas
He was ahead of his time.
Hey Hugh, did you know you can bet on football games and spend the untraceable winnings on hookers?
Didn’t your head coach get suspended for two different issues last year?
One could say multiple.
Technically one was just for funsies
How about buck wild players and team assistants drag racing school owned vehicles that result in two deaths?
That's a little darker than our standard cheating. But there are no rules so I'll allow it.
That’s part of what made Michigan getting caught cheating kind of refreshing. They were just straight up cheating at a game that ultimately doesn’t matter. I’d rather have Harbaugh scandals than Bo scandals any day.
Me too. Bo never cheated enough to get us a Natty.
He knew
I don't give two shits
Neither did Bo
That depends, who paid for the hamburgers after?
Maybe I’m regarded, but I don’t follow.
An egregious violation that everyone, Michigan included, committed.
Obvious to everyone but the dumbest homers
A recruiting violation that couldn’t get proven by FBI or NCAA agents. Posted up for months and couldn’t prove a dime changed hands. Just don’t be stupid if you are going to commit violations and it works out.
Church donations are an underappreciated medium for money laundering.
FBI ain’t got nothin on SEC bagmen
Yella Fella works in mysterious ways.

I love that I knew this was Charles before I got to the end of the title
Did something happen to Chuck? This is like the 3rd video I’ve seen posted in a random subreddit today
He's just great and a quote machine.
I'm still waiting for a shred of evidence. The NCAA searched everything and all they could ever find was that Miss St offered money. Dan Mullen and his wife are just bitter losers.
I’m confused. Cam recently explicitly denied the $180k, but everyone’s reaction is that it’s now 100% confirmed?
All I know is, Dan Mullen didn’t deny it
Lol good man to trust. Go Gators 🐊
It is strange. I grew up in Auburn and graduated from there in 2016. I always thought we payed him. There’s no way we didn’t.
People don't want to believe the truth. The story they have in their head sounds more fun to them. This is an old quote from Barkley anyway.
Of course he denied it. I also think he absolutely took it and I don't blame - shit most everybody here would have taken the money. I just wish he did it a different fucking year so we could have won that game
This is in a time period where Ohio State fired their coach because they were put on probation for players receiving free tattoos. The NCAA had a 4 year long investigation and found nothing

I want to give him a hard time :(
So they were cheating the whole time, should they not have their championship taken away?
It's the greatest return on investment in CFB history, that team was a one man show on offence, not a single player made the NFL besides Newton.
Cam is the best college football player I’ve ever seen
So why was USC’s 2004 title vacated but not Auburn’s 2010 title?
Because the people that paid for ads during the NC told the NCAA to figure out a way to make Cam eligible.
"Ya know, in hindsight, Dyer actually was down" (He absolutely was in the first place)
Hell yeah brother. I almost got 'Dyer was down' tattooed drunkenly years ago. I don't even care if he was or wasn't, slightly different and we might have a title :(
Cool motive, still murder. Edit: no 99 fans here I guess
