Will the college student be deemed ineligible because of this? Or is that only for student athletes?

Student athletes already get a completely free education so that was a fail.

Lol. Not all student athletes get a completely free education guy. 

Besides that, the point is, if they take a free cheeseburger from someone because they play football for _________ University, it's a problem.

Very cool. It's not a ton of money, but he's not obligated to do anything. Awesome to see these guys give back.

But do you? Takes nothing away from the gesture.

Doing it privately without anyone ever knowing would've been a gesture. Doing it publicly is called a publicity stunt.

Because he picked out some guy on Twitter who asked him to pay for his books? Come on man...

Yes. He could've simply sent the dude a PM and got his info and nobody would've ever known. But why do that when you can do it publicly on social media and get hero praise?

nothing wrong with what he did. if he'd tweeted and said "hey i gave this dude money i'm so classy" it'd be self-serving a la deangelo williams giving up his seat for a vet.

While the Red Cross certainly isn't without its share of issues, I don't think you can say everything they do is a publicity stunt just because it takes place in the public eye. Same with wounded soldier initiatives, etc. Now maybe the intent is more pure if he'd done it privately, but still barely diminishes the act, at least in my mind.
