Elija Fields, a safety who played for Pittsburgh University was dismissed from the school's football team after he posted several pictures of money with the the headings "More to Come and Its Mine BITCH Burrr" and "Never knew Football was gon get me all this money Sike I Knew haha
On Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette broke the news that Panthers safety/linebacker Elijah Fields was kicked off the team for unconfirmed disciplinary reasons.
However, a quick look at Fields' Twitpic page may offer a clue as to why. Back on Feb. 2, he posted some extremely incriminating photos of a gargantuan pile of cash, including one with a comment saying , "Never knew Football was gon get me all this money Sike I Knew haha.
The ridiculous amount of cash pictured is already suspicious enough for a college student, but when he states directly below the photo that he got it for playing football, it has to raise some serious eyebrows with the NCAA.
As any college football fan already knows, it is illegal to pay players. So if there's any truth to Fields' insinuation that the cash came from playing football, then the University of Pittsburgh's football program could be heading for serious trouble.
Fields had plenty of off-the-field troubles with Pittsburgh, including a suspension through the entire 2007 season, so his dismissal could be completely unrelated to this incident.
However, evidence doesn't get much more damning than a player willingly boasting about getting paid to play and even posting the evidence.
