But the story just got a little better today as the Virginia Cavaliers have announced that they will contribute $2,565 to the Fahmarr McElrathbey Fund.
The contribution is a collection of money from the players themselves--mostly from the per diem given to them to cover meals over the Thanksgiving holiday.
A few thoughts:
"In just like an hour, I think we collected just over $2,000," said junior defensive end Chris Long. Virginia players contributed some of the meal money they receive while in town over the Thanksgiving holiday.Virginia becomes the second team to contribute to the fund as the Temple Owls made a contribution earlier this year.
"It's a really legit cause, and I think it's great. Everybody really bought into that," Long said.
Groh, on his radio show Monday night, said: "This is a nice thing we're doing, but the young player at Clemson is the real hero."
A thanks goes out to both of those teams from this Tiger fan.
