Arian Foster admits to taking money at UT...

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Wonder if Fostermom will return to VN?

God, I hope not. Wait. She's right behind me, isn't she?

 

[VolinNooga14]

Seeing as how he sings like a bird (even when unprompted), I hope 'Becoming A Mafia Member' wasn't on his bucket list.

ouch

 

[volberry]

I think Foster is very prideful and sometimes his arrogance gets him in trouble. Let's just hope his arrogance doesn't cost the school and football program another investigation.

why say somethiung now? wait 20 years. we just trying to make a comeback. if we get ivestigated i'll be upset.

 

[utvolpj]

if you're going to try and insult someone you should at least spell check first (although that might not have been much help either)

 

[old wise one]

hope this does not get us into more trouble with the ncaa, he should have just kept his mouth shut.

 

[allvol123]

Such a noble man, that Arian Foster.

He's really created some solutions here. Idiot.

 

[VolFromNashville]

Curious how much more outrage this incident has generated than the Rape case for Vandy.

I was wrong, that didn't help either. Still dumb

ESPN.com poll of 14.752 votes from around the country:

62% say it didn't matter that he got extra benefits.

It doesn't matter. They should get them.

The real problem is that he is a liar and a rat.

Too comical! Where is fostermom ? Your fan club is on the ledge. Talk em down girl!

 

[Rock33]

Nobody like a snitch, not even FosterMom.....(just guessing)

 

[LieutenantNeyland]

They get plenty of food at Gibbs, complaining about food is comical. Hey Arian I ate ramen for months on end while I paid for school and worked. Nobody gave me free food, I knew there was a reason for all the hate towards him when he was here. The money he took was probably to fumble at the worst times to throw games. I don't understand how he understood the reporter since she wasn't speaking pterodactyl!!! GTFO

 

[vols4sure]

What a lying POS. What did you blow your scholarship money and away game per diem on so that you couldn't even feed your perodactyl talking ass.

It's one thing to argue players should be paid. It's another to lie and say you have no food to eat.

 

[cd12]

Did AF say he fumbled on purpose?

 

[Volle]

Total BS, there's plenty of food at Gibbs for any athlete on campus. Wonder what he was doing with the extra money then? Let me guess, spent it on women or drugs! The way his senior year went bust, probably both!

 

[SmokinBob]

You made my point. You arent going to the games and buying tickets and food and souvenirs because of Arian Foster. You are buying them because of University of Tennessee football. It wouldnt matter what the name on the back of the jersey is, you would still go to the games. So the university isnt making money off the player, they are making money off the brand name. They are making money off the loyalty of fans to the program.

Absolutely correct!!!

Dude was obviously shaving points...

 

[vols4sure]

If you live off campus and no meal plan on full ride (on athletic scholarship) you got (as of 2004) about $800. Plus, every road trip $60 a day per diem and you generally pocket all of it because meals are taken care of.

Plus his mom came from out west for every home game yet he had no money to eat? There is not an ex vol that i hate more than this guy.

Man that would suck! Foster would have to go into the witness protection program 😀

 

[Slydell]

Seems some are missing the big picture. NCAA and each school profits heavily off the backs of the players. The brand isn't anything without the guys on the field every game.

 

[vols4sure]

POS was playing 25lbs overweight yet had no money to eat?
