This is how I feel too. In the past 8 or 10 years I have reconnected with my undergraduate school (Luther College). Every time that I send them any gift they respond immediately with a thoughtful "thank you" note. The last time I donated they sent me a specific message that I am very close to being eligible for the "President's Alumni Cabinet." Don't know what that exactly means but it sounds nice. Anyway, I will not hesitate to continue donating. I don't need to be told that I'm special, being appreciated goes a long way.

It’s simple, treat other people the way you want to be treated.

There are some people on here, who’d rather incessantly argue than have the 🏀 ⚽️ to admit they made a mistake (I won enuf 💪 in real life during my salad days, that I don’t need to be a 🎭 👸🏾 on a free anonymous chat board) and that’s why the ignore button was invented; Grease ain’t the word🥸

i took it as he was told by the NIL group we need this to get and keep dante moore (ie enticing him) and they didn't thank him for stepping up.

either way, kind of a nothingburger imo. same as people who get all bent out of shape when someone else doesn't say thank you for holding a door, picking up a tab, etc. i'd blame the nil group more than i ever would the player. if he was directly paying the player (ie wrote the check for access to his NIL), then i'd sure love to know what exactly troy used his NIL for and how he got value from it as that would be a pretty clear NCAA violation and someone going on record being dumb enough to say it out loud.

Isn't 98% of NIL essentially a violation? I thought the whole point was to be in an ad, commercial, make an appearance, etc. People just give money monthly to a collective or buy beer so what exactly did any of those players do or provide to the collective that justifies the payment? For the record I'm not against these kids getting paid when it makes sense but it is very obvious it is just pay for play and everyone is pretending it isn't.

My bad - I should have noted and lead with that I’m
glad you’re having a good experience with your undergrad college and that’s a perfect example of how to treat donors 😃
 

Ya don’t publicize this. You quietly just don’t do it again. Big Aikman guy generally but don’t like this look.

The Googler says:

While there's no single official name, popular suggestions for a male "Karen" (an entitled, demanding man) include Ken, Kevin, Greg, Chad, or even Terry, with Ken being the most common initial idea, though Terry gained traction via data analysis matching "Karen's" popularity curve. Ultimately, many people just call them "male Karens" or describe their actions.

Popular Suggestions:
  • Ken: The most direct male counterpart, starting with 'K' and often seen as a standard name.

  • Kevin: Another common, similar-sounding name that gained traction online.

  • Greg: Frequently cited as the stereotypical "Karen's husband," often depicted with specific types of trucks or mundane complaints.

    • Chad: Sometimes used for a more aggressive or entitled man.
    • Terry: A data-driven suggestion from Reddit, as "Terry" followed the same rise and fall in popularity as "Karen".
