Huh.

Colorado Ran Out of Money for Alamo Bowl - Athlon Sports
Most of that story reads like nonsense. 

I’m also not sure why Athlon is licensing out its name like that.

maybe used the bowl money to buy insurance polices for Deion's favorites?

Pretty clear the players felt cheated relative to BYU.

Game results be damned.

I don't understand what the problem is - on one end they are pissing/moaning they didn't receive enough coin - evidently. On the other hand they are using what they had to rent out a strip club. Well why weren't they back in the locker room studying film of their opponent instead? And try looking for anything they could exploit on the field instead of off it

complain to the Big 12 commish about the lack of coin

I don't remember ANY Big 12 member ever being pleased with the conference office
or maybe that was just UNL

My Step-son was out at a casinio last weekend in Phoenix and he saw Scatterbo at a high rollers table with 2 ladies on his arms.  Don't think he is what use to be a typical poor college football player.

Who will be the 4th sucker to pay this kid?

I'm glad Florida didn't get stuck with this kid.  Glad when it happened, more glad  now.

I mean. It’s not clear any of that is real. 

To start with, those gift baskets are usually from the bowl. And that has nothing to do with each team’s NIL.
