Nigeria U20 star, Courtney Dike, finally explained the reason behind her $7000 bonus rejection recently. She revealed that an acceptance of the bonus would have her losing her almost $35,000 annual football scholarship at the Oklahoma State University under NCAA rules.
The 19 year old said via the office of the media officer of the Nigeria Football Federation.
"I would like to respond to what I have been reading on the internet about rejecting bonuses. I am delighted to play for Nigeria whenever called upon. I knew before leaving for the U-20 World Cup that I would not accept any bonuses. Acceptance of prize money is against NCAA regulations (the division 1 collegiate governing body) here in the US, so that is the main reason for rejecting it. Knowing this beforehand, I still chose to represent the country because I believed the experience would be more valuable than the money, and I was right," she disclosed.
