I am not saying I am against donating to NIL, I did not say that.

I just want to know how it works. For example I donate 500 dollars and it goes into a larger pot of money. Then Triumph sets up appearance, endorsement or social media deals with athletes under some sort of contractual agreement. Does that mean my 500 dollars is given to the recipient that then goes out and endorses a third-party product (e.g., car dealer, marketing for local real estate company), that would seem like the third party is also benefiting from others money. I am sorry, I don’t go into anything blindly. It is not a matter of questioning my loyalty or desire to win. If that were the case I would have already bailed in our decade of mediocrity.
