I would like to see all of the honest people on here. Imagine you are in college, broke as a joke. Your idea of taking a girl on a joke is walking to the dining hall. You can't even drive because your broke down car is on E.
But a booster offers you say 5000. As a college student you have never seen that much money. Would you honestly deny it? I will be honest i would take the money in a heartbeat. Im not breaking any laws that could put me in jail... but what are your thoughts?

It happens everywhere right now
Just not all of them are stupid enough to flaunt gold chains and new cars. They actually keep it low key.

I would resist the temptation but it would be very tough to turn down 5K in cash.

Who wouldn't?

19 or 20 yo me would almost definitely take it and not tell a soul about it.
Hell I'd probably still take it.

If I'm really good, and I know I'm going to the NFL, or even have a chance of going to the NFL, there is no way I'm risking doing anything that could affect my future career.

it seems like all these big time college athletes are already more richer than i ever have been.
dudes driving brand new cars/trucks out of high school wearing all these nice clothes and got all their beats headphones and ipads..
it depends what is being offered as to what i would accept. i honestly would NOT accept actual cash. a free dinner or something like that.. yes.. but no i would not jeopardize myself or my team. i am more of a giver than taker any ways.

take the money and run, cam style. If caught just play dumb and say it was all your dad.
if i am big time, i want way more then 5k, maybe 5k a month cash

Damn straight I would, if I could get away with it.
Posted on 12/16/13 at 12:48 pm to QJenk
Well yeah. Just don't be an idiot and sell yourself out once you don't make it in the league
Posted on 12/16/13 at 12:51 pm to QJenk
Yes.
Posted on 12/16/13 at 1:00 pm to QJenk
I want to say no just cause why risk it when you're about to get paid ,risk letting down your teammates, etc.
But i'm already a broke college student and would gladly take $5K right now.

I would laugh at them and ask if they meant to say $50,000

I was way too chicken to do anything against the rules like that at that age.

I would do it in a heartbeat and never give it a second thought. I would take just about anything anyone offered.
The NFL doesn't care if you got in trouble with the NCAA.
