Sounds like the old Tennessee Model, run by the guy in 'The Pukey Orange Suit'.

Newton rewrote rules but here's how cheating is still rampant in college



http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...eres-how-cheating-is-still-rampant-in-college


"The time-worn $100 handshake still exists -- for the idiots who aren't savvy enough to pay athletes via more sophisticated and less-traceable methods. “You still have some awkwardly stupid people doing stupid things,” one source close to the investigative process said. “You still have boosters with too much to drink handing out cash.”And it doesn't end there. “Tractors, farm implements, whatever it is that's of value to that prospect can be currency,” said NCAA enforcement director Jon Duncan. “We are working internally to try to figure out how to get at a paper trail or a good, old-fashioned bag man. It still happens.”
In this age, though, it's more likely you'll see -- or not see -- casino chips as a payoff. Casinos are everywhere. Chips can be handed out like nickels. Hey, if they're worth $500, all the better. Illicit money can be laundered through a donation to a church or a non-profit organization. Once it gets there, the cash descends down a rabbit hole the NCAA has a hard time reaching.
Gift cards have long been around. They can be used for, well, everything -- a night out on the town, gas, books, even tuition for online courses. More experienced cheaters will buy the gift cards (with cash) in an athlete's hometown so it looks like they came from the family.
Bitcoin has become a rising concern. The “cryptocurrency” is still a bit, well, cryptic. But anything that passes money in digital bits means it can be hiding. “The currency is almost unlimited,” Duncan added. “Sometimes it's U.S. dollars, sometimes it's Bitcoin, sometimes it's casino chips. Sometimes it's a house for mom and dad or a sibling.”

Anyone who is still able to recall a few of the details within the Eric Ramsey case knows there are "systems" in place at many to most schools . I feel the article is probably , at the very least , 90% accurate . Why ? Because I have first and second hand knowledge of cash being paid to players and some of the transactions actually took place in a very public setting .

There used to be a guy in Montgomery , who has since passed away , that would often have gatherings for AU players as well as allowing some to stay at his house during holiday breaks and for lengthy periods over the Summer . In order to feed is inflated ego , he would actually take the players all around the city as if they were his own children . I sat at the same table with them on more than one occasion . The guy flaunted his relationships with the players which earned him a nickname he took pride in having . It's nothing new and has been a common practice at tons of schools for many decades .
