No doubt crooked dealings go on most places but Foster sounds like he is full of shite to me.

There are millions of college kids who actually, legitimately face that dilemma. An SEC football player on scholarship has a 7 day meal plan provided for free. So he can STFU.

Shoot, you were as broke as me in college driving a crap car living in a crap apartment - like us all.


So because he drove a crap car that means it's not possible he was given cash on the side? This dude is a moron.

While I have no problems with college athletes being paid, I really have to laugh at them claiming they are starving, when a FULL meal plan is included in every scholarship.

This - and said he couldn't pay the rent. WTF was he doing with meal plan and stipend money? He said he couldn't afford to go to the movies or other leisurely activities and drove a crap car........

That is a lot of money for a college student whose room and board is taken care of already. I dunno.

Funny thing also, his wife made an account on Volnation when he wasn't drafted begging UT fans for support.

Can any UT fans catch me up on what "taco gate" is?


Foster claimed a while back that he couldn't afford food so coaches were (illegally) providing him with free tacos.

So he says that he was so poor he was basically starving while also getting $40k-$50k from boosters while at Tennessee.

Happens everywhere but dude clearly doesn't give a frick about the university. It's like he's begging for an investigation since this isn't the first time that he's made such claims.


In the taco interview it pisses me off how he goes "idk if this will get us under investigation or not......" Like he doesn't full well know it's illegal and doesn't know what he's doing

My god, I've agreed with Catfan
