Former NFL player Scott Fujita admits to accepting free beer in college

Todd Gurley is getting roasted for writing his name down and getting paid for it, but former NFLer Scott Fujita has given us another example of violating NCAA rules.

Once you get to the NFL, the NCAA can’t touch you but as we’re seeing with Todd Gurley at the moment, you’d best be careful who you write your name down for lest you be suspended.

It’s against the rules, and Gurley should have known better but let’s juxtapose this against some of the other violations the NCAA has gotten hot and bothered for.

Former NFL player Scott Fujita has given us exactly that. Fujita admitted on Twitter this week that he accepted free beer while at Cal, which is a violation of NCAA rules — because what isn’t?

This is pretty bold of Fujita but it’s also not that earth shattering. It’s almost depressing in a way, as it highlights the problem that college football has with itself. It’s boardline insulting too, in the same way President Obama joked about smoking pot in college.

When Obama joked and laughed about smoking pot, it was funny to an extent — until you realized hundreds of people who look just like him are in prison for the same thing that he did and their lives are now ruined. Fujita doesn’t mean anything by his admitting of accepting free booze without punishment against the backdrop of Todd Gurley getting slammed for writing his name down and getting paid less than it costs to buy an iPad displays the issue in college football.
