Remember, this entire FBI thing is only starting. With several teams, coaches and players, having all already been snagged, it is only a matter of time before they role. And when they roll, even more will be named.
The Alabama Crimson Tide have acknowledged that its program is now an official part of the FBI investigation. While most people were able to do deductive reasoning from one of the affidavits, figuring out Alabama was likely one of the 10 universities in it, it is now official.
The university has already fired assistant Kobe Baker. For those unaware, Kobe Baker was with the NCAA as a compliance officer before joining the Crimson Tide program. It is, obviously, rather ironic.
Baker is “Staff Member 1” in the FBI complaints. He is alleged to have accepted $15,000 in total from Martin Blazer, who is the cooperating witness in the complaint, in an effort to get players in the Alabama program to retain Blazer’s services as a financial adviser.
That's our starting point. Also, please do remember, that until a trial is had or people make official statements, everything is only “allegedly to have” happened. The entire innocent until proven guilty dilly.
In late August, a meeting was set up between Baker, Blazer and a suit-designer that was arrested on Tuesday to meet with a highly-rated Alabama freshman at a restaurant in Atlanta. Collin Sexton, a top ten prospect in the Class of 2017 and a freshman at Alabama, is from Atlanta.
Again, this isn't brain surgery. It isn't hard to figure out that Collin Sexton is the player named in the affidavit.
Baker was alleged to have received $10,000 from Blazer at that meeting.
