Valdez Baylor, a running back at the University of Minnesota from 1982 to 1985, testified he was given $10,000 by a school administrator now standing trial on swindling charges.

He said he was given the money by Luther Darville, who was fired as director of the university’s Office of Minority and Special Student Affairs last year.

Darville is accused of swindling nearly $186,000 over a five-year period from the office.
