Arian Foster has gone on record before claiming to receive money during his tenure at Tennessee, but in an interview on The Dan LeBatard Show, Foster suggested an actual dollar amount.

“You have people help you out here and there,” Foster told LeBatard. “Boosters and alumni and ex-players, they all know how it is, man. It’s hard living check to check when you don’t have enough money to go out to the movies or any kind of leisure activity. And you’re not allowed to get a job. Especially when I was in college, they were a lot more stringent on those rules, so at any given chance I got the opportunity, I took a free handout. Absolutely.”
When LeBatard pushed Foster to put a total on, the current Texans running back suggested “maybe 40 or 50 grand.”
Obviously this didn’t go over well with those in Tennessee. One of Fosters former teammates Ryan Karl called Foster out.
Foster tried to backtrack and claimed he was only joking.
Then all of this happened.
