I'm sure he got a little cash here and there from friends of the program and over the years it probably added up to a decent amount of money for a broke college kid, but I doubt seriously he got close to the amount he is claiming.

I know, we are such tightwads 
fosters comments on Lynch getting fined for grabbing his dick were the last straw for me, said only getting fined cause he was black
NVM that a white guy was fined for the exact same thing earlier this year
What a jackass

So $50k buys fumbles, but not tacos in Knoxville?

Thats a lot of money for someone that had a problem fumbling into the endzone

I know, it should help give yall some idea of why we were where we were budget wise a couple years ago. Wasting money on guys like him and Crompton

To be fair, fumbling into the endzone is just a really hip thing to do in knoxville, kinda like buttchugging. Just ask Pig Howard.

Let's say we did pay him $50 grand, it's not like everyone was getting it. We thought he was special (why, I have no idea) and compensated him accordingly and this is how he repays us?
What an ungrateful little bitch

He already confirmed this a year ago.

Yup. Just Foster crying for attention like he always has. I'm more likely to grow a watermelon out of my butt than something coming of this from the NCAA.

Also, these claims of being wined and dined by agents is a big stretch too. You are a baller now but at the time, you were a risky pick with who ended up being a free agent. Quit trying to grab attention while throwing your school under the bus."

We have them and had them when Foster was there. But here's the thing that drives a lot of fans nuts: Foster did NOT come from a poor family. In fact, his family was middle to middle upper class and when he was there rent was cheap even at super nice places.
Foster, imo, wanted to make a broader point about the athletes who DO come from nothing and rally for changes. He's a political guy but those who know his family know better. The story works tho' because most don't know his family. Even so, he could've made his point another way but as much as I like Arian Foster he's always been an odd duck. That's just him and that's ok, imo.

Arian Foster is a liar.
I hope a booster pays someone in the NFL $40-50,000 to take his knee out and send him home. frick him.
