"If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'. "
No allegations should be coming out right now because Finebaum isn't around for the next 3 months to protect them.
If you could be a "fly on the wall" listener in those plush skyboxes at ANY major football school - and perhaps even a few basketball schools- you would very likely hear the millionaire boosters talking in the privacy of their surroundings to like minded fellow boosters comparing the relative attributes of the 4* & 5* players they "helped" recruit. The school's administrators and coaches make it clear that "They don't want to know (be told)" what has transpired to recruit prize players. As many fans will quickly tell you "It ain't their (coaches & administrators) money anyhow". What the latter group wants to maintain is "plausible deniability"(check the top folks at Penn State) so the school can't be touched when something bows up (like the MS State furor over Cam Newton). After all, they want to protect their relatively low paying jobs and personal reputations.

Quote:According to Allen, there was a five-star defensive back recruit in the class of 2003 who Shapiro told him he'd spent a lot of money on. The kid ended up signing with another school. "I'm not doing that anymore," Allen recalled Shapiro saying. "We can't outbid these [expletive] SEC schools."
I'm sure cheating goes on, but I don't know that I'd give much credence to someone who blatantly admits, "I lied about EV-ERY-THING".
