University of Arkansas? sports information director told a Little Rock television station Wednesday night the university?s compliance director is investigating why Razorback running back Darren McFadden was driving a new Cadillac Escalade last week.
KTHV (Channel 11) reported McFadden has been seen driving a new Cadillac Escalade, and questions are being asked about how he got it. A compliance director from another university told KTHV if the two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up received the car as a payment for future services, he is then a professional and no longer eligible for college football. That would mean no Cotton Bowl on Tuesday.
If he bought the car or obtained a loan, with a delayed payment plan, he is still within NCAA guidelines and would be eligible for the bowl game.
UA Sports Information Director Kevin Trainor told the station the university is aware of the situation.
