No, don't run away. You wanted my attention and you now have it.
You confidently asserted:
That we are attempting to spin our NIL spending in some way
That CC is running a commercial that is claiming that:
Things in college football need to change to save it
Money should be taken out of the game
All of that is entirely made up.
We haven't tried "spinning" our NIL spending in any way, we've owned it fully, and I find it absolutely hilarious to me that you claim to admire SMU for doing, quite literally, exactly what we are doing. Hell, I do too, but at least be honest. You want to praise them and shit on us. That's fine, just own it.
The commercial says nothing of the sort, as far as I know he doesn't hold any position anywhere near that. He position is that pooling media rights nationally and keeping them out of the hands of private equity and out of the control of the conference commissioners will lead to an overall increase in revenue for everyone, to the tune of billions of dollars, which in turn will allow sports other than football to flourish across the board. He isn't saying a damn thing about college football needing to change or that money being in the sport the way it is now is a problem. You're just making that up whole cloth.
And look, I'm not even saying I agree with him. I think he doesn't fully understand what he's talking about, I think his position is highly speculative/wishcasty, and I think his talking points when speaking to the media about this or even in his commercial are far too vague. I think the only reason anyone is taking him seriously on this is because he has Trump's ear.
Like I said before, if you wanna talk shit then talk shit. I don't care, I love it.
