This was Darren McFadden's very well documented Crown Victoria he'd been cruising around in all season. He's reported ditched this for a Cadillac Escalade. I should have classified this post as [NFL].

Has he lost his mind? To be determined, but he might be losing his eligibility if a compliance official has any say.

"According to a [sic] complianace director from another University, if D-Mac received the car as a payment for future services, he is then a [sic] proferssional and no longer [sic] elligible for college football. That would mean no Cotton Bowl. If he simply went in and bought the car, got a loan like any other shopper, with a delayed payment plan, he is still within NCAA guidelines and would be [sic] elligible for the bowl game."

I can't put myself in McFadden's shoes, but you'd think the guy could wait just a few weeks to purchase an Escalade. It's not exactly an inconspicuous vehicle.
