Pets, Car Repairs and Mom: How College Football Players Use Their Stipends
Posted Jan 6, 2017
How college football players use their stipend money is up to them.

Tigers right guard Tyrone Crowder said he spent some of his on a pet but, unable to keep a cat or dog where he lives, he bought a fish tank instead.
