One of the oldest sagas in college football is the large programs that pay student-athletes for their services.
When the best schools are winning consistently, others assume they are cheating to get to the top.
Rush Propst, a longtime football coach in the state of Alabama and Georgia, believes this about Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide program.
In a video leaked to Twitter, Propst talks about Nick Saban having reinforcements in different parts of Alabama to pay recruits to come to Tide. He claims that the University of Alabama has been doing this since 1960; however, during the period, Propst would be no more than 12 years old.
According to reputable sources, sincerely, from Touchdown Alabama Magazine, I learned that Propst’s accusations are not true.
“He’s just being serious. His statement has no truth to support it, ”said the sources.
With that out of the way, Alabama is focused on spring training next Friday.
