I feel like I'm the only non-Bama fan in this thread that doesn't see agents giving out money as a form of cheating.

Against the rules, yes. Cheating, no.

If by "cheating", you mean "gives a competitive advantage", then the only way agents paying players is "cheating" is if there is a reasonable expectation by potential recruits before they get into school that they will get money from agents by attending Alabama.

But technically, since this violates the amateur status of the athlete, Alabama would be playing a "professional", which is against the rules. If you let this professional play, why couldn't you let Julio Jones come back one off Saturday to help us with LSU? He did have an extra year of eligibility, correct?

[Edit - maybe I'm wrong on Julio's year of eligibility. 5 years to play 4, right. So, maybe we could get Lacy back for a game or two?]

Agreed. There is no competitive advantage one way or the other. It's not like having the competitions former recruiting coordinator in the coach's booth.
