One of Bama's boosters owns a Dodge dealership I believe...see a lot of Chargers/Challengers in there.

You may remember him as the bald flexer with pipe cleaner arms from last year's championship game.

Upside ? No Bammers ever late for practice and it makes Nick Saban never need buy anything else but detailing packages for birthdays !

Does standing beside a car make it yours? If so, tomorrow I'll be riding in a Maserati!

should head back to Mama's house in Greenbow and write letters to Jenny. In the real world no one believes all these guys are standing next to other people's cars as if they are their own. Now how they got those cars? Who knows? Maybe their dads bought them like my dad for me when I was in college.

Sports media is going to get a hold of this. Cars, cash, speculative comments, etc. Most high schoolers are rolling around in late model cars with a thousand dollars cash on hand. Not a good look.

Without evidence of ownership and how that ownership happened it's just a bunch of pictures. I know I've been in or had my picture taken with many more cars than I've owned... by a large number. Now... if the NCAA could find something that resulted in us becoming the 2015 champs as well I'm not going to complain, but this isn't enough to do that.

I think he meant the fact he returned for his senior season.

every 1 buys into mark may crying about scholarship players not having any money.
Total BS.
I had a friend in HS is was well off and smart. HIs parents had a college fdun for him. When he got a scholarship he used his college fun money to buy a BMW.
The football players likely qualify for grants and definitely can get student loans. It inst out of the realm of possibility to get monies and buy stuff, especially if they are good with their monies.

Interesting....I never really considered that any of the scholarship players might get student loans too. I guess when they hit the NFL there is no worry about how they will pay back those loans. This explains to me how players pay for those insurance policies that have to be crazy expensive.

Someone has done a lot of work to pull all that together and maybe they don't all own all those cars but does look a little suspicious.

his argument about players returning is a little weak.

these guys could be making millions going into the draft. Bama has a lot of money floating around, but they couldn't possibly pay these guys enough to keep them for another season if the players were gonna get taken in the first couple of rounds.

Anyone who feels some type of way about this isn't thinking clearly. They make the university MILLIONS. Why can't they drive around In something nice? I think Saban owns a Mercedes dealership anyway.

Do dealers not control the price of a lease? If so can they not set the lease price at say $50 a month and make it completely legal?

I haven't seen anyone on this thread mention the car DW drove around campus. What about Eric MacLain car? Do Clemson players get a pass?

The way I understand this works - and maybe someone here with more insight can correct me - is insurance. Basically all the NFL probables get a 1 or 2 million dollar insurance policy against injury. If they get injured to the point it keeps them out of the NFL, they get the value of the policy. If they don't get injured and go into the NFL, they get a couple of million dollars anyway. Therefore, they have really good credit scores and can buy cars and or homes from friendly boosters with balloon payment terms.
