A-Rod Wins College Student $10,000 by Sinking Half-Court Shot

While Alex Rodriguez did not attend Bucknell University, he became a god in the eyes of Bucknell students after his big night at a recent basketball game. In one of the usual halftime entertainment moments where plenty of college students have been screwed by either making shots, sinking putts, or running around in an inflatable bubble, A-Rod had a chance to sink a half-court shot to win $10,000 for a random student in the crowd.

Lucky for this Bucknell student, Rodriguez made it look easy as the ball went in and the crowd went wild!

What a day for Bison Nation! Bucknell takes down Army, and A-Rod delivers an unforgettable moment—hitting a half-court shot to win a Bucknell student $10,000! Huge thanks to Alex Rodriguez, Marc Lore ’93, and Jordy Leiser ’06 for making it such a special day! #rayBucknell pic.twitter.com/WVmORSKReC
