Alumni to 5-star recruit...

Alabama Alumni: Dude you are awesome. Here is $1,000 for one of your autographed jerseys.

USC Alumni: Dude, ignore them here is $2,000 for one of your autographed jerseys. Did I mention we are near Hollywood?

What could go wrong?

Endless variations:

Bubba's Birmingham Car Dealership (Bubba is an Alabama booster): Hey, D'zel Jefferson, if you sign with Alabama and endorse my dealership, you can get an all expense paid car, truck or SUV of your choice off the lot plus a $10,000 endorsement commission. [. . .] Bubba to U of Alabama: I delivered him. It is YORE job to keep him eligible.

This is just an intermediate phase of outright paying the players. Talent will be concentrated even more in a handful of schools.
