Brooks has been on Alabama’s tail all summer about possible NCAA violations, most of which were tied to T-Town Menswear owner Tom Albetar,which Alabama disassociated from last year. Whether or not any of it is true remains to be seen because the NCAA has yet to lend a firm hand in that mess.
The latest controversial claims by Brooks is that a disassociated Alabama booster had a relationship with Alabama running back Trent Richardson. Oh Brooks, you really must hate Alabama!
“WHAT THE? Why would disassociated Alabama booster have photo of Trent Richardson birthday cake? Is it unreasonable to think that Richardson may have received a gift or three from that same disassociated booster if he was at a Richardson birthday function? Seriously, am I being unreasonable asking that question?”

He must have gotten tired of all the lies, red-tape, and good ol' boy deals, and under the table cash??

It is being reported that the Alabama Crimson Tide’s compliance department has been investigating the possibility of their college athletes—specifically running back Trent Richardson—receiving extra benefits from a local men’s clothing store owner in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
"Alabama’s compliance department reportedly looked into the relationship of the ‘T-Town’ store owner and Richardson," according to a report by CollegeFootballTalk.com. It seems that the compliance department did not find anything, however they did send a cease-and-desist letter to the store owner.
The compliance office was also reported to have "investigated autographs hanging in the store... and are currently monitoring the situation."
One item in the report of particular interest—Alabama did not involve the NCAA or the SEC in their investigation of extra benefits. Just from recent experience (the Ohio State situation), this could be something that the NCAA does not look favorably upon in the near future.
Since the report says nothing about Alabama reporting the possible infractions to the NCAA, it is safe to say that they were attempting to handle this situation "in-house", which could lead to a deeper investigation by the NCAA into the autographs and possible extra benefits allegedly received by Richardson, despite Alabama saying that everything is okay.
Sounds like there could potentially be some rough times ahead for Alabama, which could cause the Tide's premier back to miss games this season if any violations are discovered to be true.

On August 28th, 2011 Alabama running back Trent Richardson was pulled over for speeding in Chilton County, Alabama. The Crimson Tide star was going 85 in a 70 and the officer noted that he blamed the "large rims" on his vehicle for the speeding violation. What was the vehicle? A 2011 GMC Yukon which retails for in the neighborhood of $40,000 a year even without the added expense of new rims. Raise your hand if it makes sense that an "unemployed" athlete at Alabama with two children, no job, and a non-wealthy family could afford a brand new SUV. Put your hands down Alabama fans. Trent Richardson could be flying in his own private jet and you'd talk about how it's perfectly reasonable for him to avoid traffic this way.

Julio Jones
Every day brings a new revelation that makes Alabama's explanation for what went down at T-Town Menswear look more and more artificial. Today, meet Julio Jones, man of many suits, as he signs a stack of personalized jerseys inside T-Town Menswear. The photo is courtsey of SportsByBrooks, you need to click the link to see how full story on this matter. In the meantime, why does Julio Jones need to sign that many jerseys for a storeowner? A full stack? Even the most crimson-blooded Alabama fan on Earth has to be troubled by this. After all, this isn't a personal gift, this is Julio signing jerseys so they can be sold to the public on multiple kiosks in the state.
Alabama argues that its players couldn't have known their jerseys were being sold after they signed them. That position is becoming more and more laughable each day.
Who signs a stack of jerseys like this without knowing where they're heading? Julio Jones is smart, he knew exactly what he was doing when he stood over a stack of jerseys and began signing his name on jerseys that had been specially ordered to include his last name. He was doing this for his friend Tom Albetar, a guy who he knew well. This wasn't some stranger. If it was perhaps Julio would have turned the other way when he was presented with a stack of his own jerseys and asked to sign his name while someone stood alongside and took his photograph.
He trusted Tom -- even if Alabama didn't --Tom was a good guy.
Tom was a friend.
In fact, Julio was such good friends with the owner that he hung out on the store computer.
Again, I ask you, why is the SportsByBrooks linked photograph at the top of this screen being taken as Julio signs a stack of jerseys? The answer is easy, so purchasers of these jerseys have authentication that Julio Jones actually signed the jerseys himself.
Take off the crimson-colored glasses, Alabama fans, the mushroom cloud is continuing to grow. Be sure and read SportsByBrooks' story here.
And please stop arguing that Julio didn't know. He's a smart guy. He knew exactly what he was doing. To argue otherwise is an insult to his intelligence.
And yours.

1. Does it make sense that someone would get a bag of money and not count it?
2. Does it make sense that Ramsey would get money but not Ziemba.
3. Does it make sense that so few players say they got money and so many didn’t?
4. Does it make sense that Ziemba and Chizik others wouldn’t know if others were getting money.
