Whitlock didn’t make the claim that it affected CU’s play and the author claims

other sources verified the gift issue so I don’t think Whitlock is worthy of being “shot” as the messenger. I admit I don’t follow him closely but enough to appreciate his courage in other instances to go against the grain.

Whoops! Colorado Ran Out of NIL Money for Alamo Bowl

I thought the gifts came from the bowls, not NIL?

True. Just another “BYU isn’t that good after all” narrative.

Unless something changed, NIL and bowl gift bags are completely unrelated.

Dryfire

Correct. And the school is not affiliated with NIL. This write up makes no sense

Don't care about Colorado's problem but don't kid yourself thinking schools are

Should’ve said “officially associated”

Maybe they should be happy their coach made sure his two kids had huge insurance

Spent all their money renting out strip clubs I guess (according to the article)

Walk me through how this works? Doesn’t the school pay for bowl trips with AD money not NIL?

ToasterChive

12/31/24 11:10pm

he is probably referring to AD budget, BYU did give players huge gear gift boxes before the game with Alamo bowl tagged

NIL is for individual players not for gifts at bowl games.

This had me looking up bowl swag bags and came across this article

Schaduer bought one of his linemen a 100k car. I’m sure they figured out

Peterbilt

12/31/24 11:17pm

Should have bought more cars. The others were doing “look out!” Blocks all night

A weak attempt to cheapen BYU's victory

Except Whitlock isn’t that type of guy if you follow him. He’s not liked by many

He has no j retest in that, but does want to knock down colorado

I think Jay Hill knew this which is why he said not to be surprised if BYU

Crowd Factor

You think Jay Hill was paying attention to the off-field stuff and that is why

Players got a $400 and $460 Visa cards for the bowl/school gift

Can we please stop quoting Jason Whitlock. The man is an idiot

Scooter

His “courage” is called lying

LakeshowCougs

Jan 1, 9:19am

He was one of the first national media guys to defend BYU after the Duke VB lie.

robin

Jan 1, 9:24am

That’s great, he also blatantly lies all the time & makes up stories.

LakeshowCougs

Jan 1, 9:35am

This is the type of thing I am talking about

Scooter

NIL isn't the term for it. It's possible their football budget is low.

shakarocks

Jan 1, 12:37am

Yeah I don't believe this story at all. Swag and gift bags are a core practice

CougaRR4L

Jan 1, 1:02am

CU’s budget is kind of low. Players don’t get as much swag as they do at other schools.

JamieTartt

Jan 1, 1:36am

They had a private jet fly them to the game but they couldn't afford gift bags? Seems weird

Chemish

Jan 1, 4:19am

Alamo gave each player gift cards worth at least $350.

This story doesn't pass the sniff test.

Whitlock is such a hack

Well, we all curl up in the fetal position when we get a lame gift bag, right?

Right..."amazing gift bags" leads to dominating win.
