Former NBA guard Nate Robinson said Tuesday that a booster offered him $100,000 per year to return to the football team at the University of Washington after he decided to focus on basketball.
On an episode of the Holdat podcast (h/t SI.com's Dan Gartland), Robinson discussed the offer:
"When they fired Rick Neuheisel my freshman year that made it easy for me to make my decision to quit and go play basketball, which I wanted to do anyway. For my three years at UW, I had a booster offer me $100,000 per year to come back and play football because they needed Nate Robinson back on the football field because we weren't winning any games, it wasn't exciting.
