Thunder Collins while sitting in jail on a life sentence is now saying that he received $1,000 a month from boosters while he was a player at NU.

"He reiterated his stance that he's no snitch — saying that was part of the reason he left the Nebraska football team as a senior. Collins, a running back, said he took the fall rather than snitch about what he now claims were $1,000-a-month payments from boosters."

Dear Mr. Collins,

Making sh#t up about Nebraska isn't going to help you avoid gang rapes in the shower. Enjoy the rest of your "life".

 
I wouldn't be too surprised if this were true. But if true, it happens everywhere.

Really.

 
if it is true, i really think it is because he was a poor kid taking care of his brother. it really brother was thought of as charity for the guy who could not have player otherwise. he really is a tragic case.

If so, he was grossly overpaid.
:yeah

15 games played, 1 game started, 5 TDs.

In bowl games:

2000 Alamo Bowl vs. Northwestern: Rushing 3-9

2002 Rose Bowl vs. Miami: Rushing 6-10
The only hole in his lie is that he forgot you have to be good before boosters offer you money. Even in his "prime" thunder collins was barely a starter.

 
Even if he did, the booster has no official capacity at NU so no sanctions will be brought against the school. See Reggie Bush.
