Report: Georgia compliance office looking into claims made by Rush Propst
When you’re a successful college football program, there are always those critics that claim you’re paying players.
Over the weekend, audio clips leaked of conversations between former “Two-A-Days” coach Rush Propst (who is facing issues of his own at Valdosta High School) and Michael “Nub” Nelson, the former director of the Valdosta Touchdown Club.
In the clips, Propst claims Georgia and Alabama often pay recruits between $90,000 and $100,000 to sign with them.
Georgia is at least aware of the claims, and per a report from AJC.com, Nelson says the compliance office is looking into Propst’s claims:
“They called and asked a bunch of questions,” Nelson said Monday. “They asked me not to discuss it, so I don’t want to say too much.”
Nelson, who claims the recordings were made back in May of 2020, said he doesn’t think either Alabama or Georgia will face any NCAA violations from Propst’s comments:
“I don’t think they’re in trouble because of who said this,” said Nelson, referring to Propst. “That man’s credibility is zero and they’ll put this out in no time. I’d be surprised if the NCAA spends more than a minute on it.”
Here’s the audio that leaked, where Propst makes claims against Georgia and Alabama:

We’ll see what, if anything, comes of this situation.
That’s a lot of Happy Meals ®!
That is also A LOT OF HOT AIR!!!! I live within spitting distance in a way. And without saying too much. THIS MAN TALKS TO PEOPLE REGULARLY! And has told people things.
EXAMPLE. What is a great thing to do win people are ASKING YOU QUESTIONS AND LOOKING INTO YOUR POSSIBLE VIOLATIONS??? Answer…….DELIBERATELY HAVE A CONVERSATION LIKE THIS ONE QUOTE ” LEAKED TO THE MEDIA!!! ” IN ORDER TO GET PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID. INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU DID!!!!
HE IS A LIAR!!!!!!!! Common sense tells you that.
NICK CHUBB RETURNED BECAUSE EITHER. A. HE DIDN’T LIKE HIS NFL GRADE. B. NEEDED MORE TIME OR C. WANTED TO WIN A TITLE AT GEORGIA!!!!!
COMMON SENSE QUESTION….
Because why on God’s earth would Nick Chubb want that tiny amount of money. Compared to NFL MONEY???
And two things should tip it off. Notice that idiot didn’t talk about A HEALTHY RECRUIT NAMED NICK CHUBB THAT CAME TO UGA FROM HIGH SCHOOL. Because he would have had to imply MARK RICHT committed the violations!!!! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN LAUGHED AT!!!! Nooooooooooooo he has to imply Sabans former defensive coordinator. And make it that they paid Chubb to come back to school!!!!
WHAT AN OBVIOUS LIAR!!!!!
He is just trying to get the finger off of him. And either way. He is in trouble so he wants everyone in trouble!!! LIKE A LITTLE BABY!!!!
I wouldn’t put it past Saban to cheat. I’m positive he has and does!!! But this Nick Chubb thing is TOTAL BS!!!!! AN NFL SIGNING BONUS IS ABOUT 10 Xs or more the amount this idiot claims he was paid!!!! AND THAT IS A LOW SIGNING BONUS!!!
NICK CHUBB COULD HAVE MADE MORE BY GETTING INJURED AT UGA AGAIN HAD HE WANTED!!!! UGA HAD A ONE MILLION DOLLAR INSURANCE POLICY ON HIM AT UGA!!! IN THAT WAY. HE HAD NOTHING TO LOSE!!!!
STILL AN NFL ROOKIE CONTRACT WOULD HAVE MADE THAT AMOUNT THE LIAR CLAIMS CHUBB WAS PAID. LOOK LIKE CHUMP CHANGE!!!! It is FAR MORE BELIEVABLE for someone to say. A great recruit was paid to come to a school from high school. But saying that a STAR RUNNING BACK LIKE CHUBB. WAS PAID CHUMP CHANGE TO RETURN TO SCHOOL. WHEN A ROOKIE CONTRACT WOULD MAKE THAT AMOUNT ABOUT A WEEKS PAY AT BEST. NO, I CAN’T BUY IT!!! That is an obvious LIE from a KNOWN LIAR!!!!!
It is much more likely that Mark Richt plans on returning to UGA in some capacity, than for Chubb to have took money. THE LIAR SHOULD HAVE PICKED A PLAYER WITH LESS CHARACTER!!! NICK CHUBB IS FAMOUS FOR HIS GOOD CHARACTER!!!! This is not credible enough to even be investigated!!! THERE IS ENOUGH IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL THAT WE KNOW FOR A FACT HAPPENED!!! WHY NOT GET ON THAT. INSTEAD OF WASTING TIME WRITING ABOUT AND TALKING ABOUT THIS OBVIOUS LIE???? FLORIDA, LSU, TENNESSEE AND CLEMSON ALL COME TO MIND!!!! The NCAA needs to act on that! Before wasting time even listening to GARBAGE LIKE THIS! That was only spoken after THE LIAR GETS IN TROUBLE!!!!
What is hilarious is they say. IT WAS LEAKED! NO IT WASN’T!!!! It was put out on purpose!!! But I REALLY LOVED THE WAY THAT HE LOWERED HIS VOICE WITH THE LIE. AS IF HE WAS TELLING A BIG SECRET AND THAT HE DIDN’T WANT ANYONE TO HEAR!!!! WHEN HE WAS HOPING FOR JUST THIS!!!!! He knew it was being recorded!!!
PS. I have a HUGE SECRET to tell you guys. And consider this a whisper. But I have 2 things to say. First Elton John is gay!!! Second Owen Wilson has blond hair and he is an actor! And Dan Mullen trick or treats as Darth Vader and believes he is really superman!!!! SHHHHH! Don’t tell okay!

WHEN PEOPLE NOT ( WIN PEOPLE ) SORRY.

Out of those 3 reasons we can rule out thinking GA was going to win a title.
In addition to being a scum bag, Probst is bat sh*t crazy.
A sleezy pile of human waste.
So the guy in the recordings that Probst is talking to thinks it’s a non-starter with an interesting take on Probst’s character.
Would love to know the context of the recorded conversation.
Just a lot of talk. There’s always someone saying something.
Almost no one with credibility is giving this any attention outside of the due diligence as journalists. A cheater in hot water is trying to deflect the attention from him.
The Compliance office is doing a formal investigation because again, due dilligance, but it’ll probably be something like.
“Kirby, did you cheat?”
Kirby: No.
“Aight thanks for coming in.”
Kirby is toast! real dumb dog!!
Kirby is pulling in several million a year. He must be real dumb. How much are you making flipping burgers at Mickey D’s? I’ve got to give you kudos though. You’re the biggest idiot on this website.
Why would anyone take this person serious?
Maybe he’s an opium poppy farmer and likes kicking his poppies around before he crops them for his heroin dealers.
Sounds like a like of the BS that folks post on here about schools they hate. Sorta like the PC cancel culture…say whatever you think will get the most shock reaction.
If Probst is jut talking through his rear, he might want to start lining up a lawyer.
Propst himself is under an investigation for taking funds and paying for lodging for HS players and their family’s.
Is this his way of saying everybody’s doing what he’s actually doing.
The short answer is YES.
Probst is Q, so I’m surprised anyone on this platform would not believe him.
This made me laugh.
If you honestly had to name the 4 coaches in America that least need to incentivize draft-eligible players to return for another year, Saban and Kirby would be in that group. Probst has always been regarded as a loose cannon in the industry, and would be one of the last people trusted with deep insider info.
He couldn’t even get Nick’s name right.
“Chubbs”. Really? Wasn’t he in the movie Happy Gilmore?
Neither the schools nor the ncaa have subpoena power, so all they can do is ask the players if they have received money. Once the player says no, that’s pretty much the end of the investigation.
Are you serious? NCAA has more than subpoena power. They can hammer an institution that doesn’t comply to their request
At the time the recording was made. Probst was not under investigation. The person recording this was told in the beginning of Probst coming to Valdosta, anytime you talk to Rush, record it.
Probst has zero credibility. And just logically, why would a player like Chubb take cash to return for his senior year when he could just turn pro and get 10x to 20x more as a signing bonus?
Another problem with Probst’s statement: Schools, coaches and big name boosters don’t pay players and never have. It’s the shadow network of bag men and “informal” boosters that have historically paid players.
That’s what Nick said in a tweet.
Propst pays to get the players he needs as well. When he was at Hoover High in Birmingham, they were bussing kids in from all over the city. Had a friend who’s son played for Propst and said you didn’t speak to him unless he spoke to you first. Said sometimes Propst was late to practice and would make them practice that much longer to make up for the time he wasn’t there.
If you want to beat Alabama, there’s a price to pay. If you actually do beat Alabama, there’s an even higher price to pay.
