    "Louis Martin Blazer, a former Pittsburgh-based financial adviser turned government witness, testified Tuesday that he paid college football players from several programs from around 2000 to 2013-14 in hopes of becoming their financial adviser once they turned pro.

    The schools listed, according to multiple reports, were Pittsburgh, Penn State, Michigan, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Alabama and North Carolina. Blazer did not offer any specific names and is scheduled to be in court again Wednesday.

    Blazer, according to CBS, said he would pay "$100 to $3,000 per month" to players' family, friends or girlfriends. He said he never has paid a college football coach.

    He did reportedly outline an instance in which he paid the father of a Penn State player $10,000, at the request of an unnamed Penn State assistant coach, to get the player to stay in school rather than enter the NFL draft. Blazer then claimed the player declared for the draft anyway and the player's father paid him back. "

    Blazer says he doesn't know of the colleges were aware but doesn't this fall into the category of "should have known"?

    NCAA will never go after Alabama football or Notre Dame anything. Since they're all linked by this guy, they all get away with this one.

    Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama, Bama...

    Winning solves all those “problems” we have with Bama so all we have to do is sack up- and score, score, score!
