During an interview at the Jim Mora Celebrity Golf Tournament, former NFL star and future Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk had some interesting comments about players accepting money while they’re in college. "Heck yeah, I would have taken it,†Faulk said. “I’m not gonna lie to you, there’s no doubt about it.†“...I went to San Diego State, other than good weather, they didn’t have much to offer me, unfortunately. I wish I’d gone to a bigger program and had them slide me some cash to take care of my family, but that wasn’t the case.†Source: Steve DelVecchio, Yardbarker.com
Great that he was honest about it. With all of the money these football programs make, it's finally time to start sharing it with the players.
You guys are silly if you think the majority of these college players are getting employment after because of their degree. College ends their true career for most.
Im surprised he didnt get dough at SD State For those old enough to remember Faulk was a bigger draw then Reggie Bush was in school
