An Arkansas football player has been suspended for today’s Belk Bowl after being accused of shoplifting during a shopping spree at a Belk store.
The players had 90 minutes to max out a $450 gift card at Belk. That apparently wasn’t enough for tight end Jeremy Sprinkle.
Here are details from SEC Country:
Sprinkle was accused of attempting to shoplift items at the Belk department store at the SouthPark Mall in Charlotte on Tuesday, sources said. The Arkansas team was there as part of a function for the bowl.
Each player on both teams had 90 minutes to spend a $450 gift card at Belk on anything in the store. The players also each received a Fossil watch. Sources said Sprinkle attempted to take items worth more than the allotted cost available.
The athletic department announced the suspension two hours before kickoff.
