Michigan DB Jabrill Peppers was hungry Tuesday night

Michigan defensive back Jabrill Peppers just wanted some food on Tuesday evening.

The former five-star recruit posted a complaint about his lack of money to Twitter, calling the NCAA's stipend checks "lil indentured servant checks."

Yes, it's easy to turn Peppers' posts into a debate about the NCAA paying athletes, but we won't do that. His stipends will go up in August after the new cost of attendance benefits voted on by the Power Five conferences go into effect.

One provision already in effect is the NCAA's rule that athletes can more food provided from schools than was originally allowed in their scholarships. However, the utilization of the rule is not as simple as going over to campus and getting food whenever you want.

It was clear from Peppers' comments that he had moved out of the dorms. Wednesday morning he expounded on his tweets from the night before.

The No. 3 recruit in the class of 2014 according to Rivals, Peppers ended up redshirting in 2014 after he suffered a shoulder injury.
