College basketball players win tuition for students


Two students at Eastern Tennessee State don't have to worry about tuition thanks to a pair of basketball players.

ETSU held its "Bluenanza" on Monday, and as part of the event, basketball players attempted half-courts shots to win two students free tuition for a semester.

T.J. Cromer and Devontavius Payne both stepped up at the opportunity and basically knew they were going to make the shot before even attempting it.

And of course, they were right.

The entire gym went crazy, and now the ETSU athletic department has a couple tuitions to pay - not a bad deal.
