Former Washington star Nate Robinson said he was offered $100,000 a year by a booster to return to the football team once he left to concentrate on basketball.
Robinson’s comments were made on a Sports Illustrated podcast “Holdat”. The former UW basketball and NBA star along with former NBA forward Carlos Boozer talked about the times they were offered impermissible benefits.
The former Ranier Beach High star initially came to UW on a football scholarship but would turn his attention to basketball.
He played 13 games during his freshman year in 2002 with the football team.
