— PeppyPep (@JabrillPeppers) May 27, 2015His "first meal of the day" tweet came at 8:17 p.m., which is very late to be having your first meal.

Former UConn basketball star Shabazz Napier made headlines last year when he said, "there's hungry nights where I'm not able to eat." The NCAA responded and made some changes to the food program, but it may not have been enough.
A follower pointed out the changes to the Michigan DB responded by saying, "Many loopholes in that rule my friend."
