due the negative press that came with it. Those players were apparently misled and chased royalty payouts that weren't earned.

Is there still the BuiltBar NIL deal that pays tuition for all walk-ons?

I hope so, otherwise, why do I keep buying them in bulk at Costco?

wasn't aware. Good to know. It's healthy for the team and untapped talent.

Discontinued because it didn’t pay off for marketing spend. You’ll see very different deals going forward
