Arian Foster was on Dan Le Batard show Friday addressing the amount of money he took while at University of Tennessee. Foster admitted that he accepted $40-50k thousand from Boosters, Alumni and ex-players. Prior to appearing on Le Batard show Foster issued a statement explaining why he was willing to accept the money.
You have people help you out here and there. Boosters and alumni and ex-players, they all know how it is, man. It’s hard living check to check when you don’t have enough money to go out to the movies or any kind of leisure activity. And you’re not allowed to get a job. Especially when I was in college, they were a lot more stringent on those rules, so at any given chance I got the opportunity, I took a free handout. Absolutely.
NCAA Athletes are prohibited from accepting money for playing. NCAA cant be happy with these newest allegations.
