Troy Aikman is ‘done’ funding NIL: ‘Didn’t even get a thank you’

[BleedGopher]

Go Gophers!!

 

[Word]

Go Gophers!!

The Gophers would thank you!!!

...Troy transferred from Oklahoma

First, this has to be Dante Moore, right.

Second, how would the kid know origin of the money. There’s no way he wrote a check directly to the kid? That seems extraordinarily awkward. If it was a donation to the collective, you’d think they would be smart enough to have some sort of donor relations department.

...Troy transferred from Oklahoma

Correct.

 

[Garcia]

Correct.

With Oklahoma beat the Gophs in the dome his freshman year.

Kinda a bad vibe from Troy there IMO.

I like my employer, I'm polite to my employer .... I don't send them thank you cards for gracing me with a paycheck .. I do the job, they owe me and we roll on.

If you're giving to NIL you're giving money for some athlete to go try to do a thing. They bust their ass and do the thing and the deal is over. It's an exchange. Now the U (and I think dinky town athletes) sends me videos of players saying thank you and that's very nice, but by no means do they need to thank me for it.

Such an awkward spot to put these players for no other reason than to avoid paying players directly for as long as possible.
