Unfulfilled NIL Money
- Thread starter tuharvard
- Start date
So does this mean that we should hire Marion or that we shouldn't??
Basically, they are mad they are professional football players and didn't work out to how they wanted. Sorry dudes.
College football really needs a complete title rebranding. Every school has these stories. it’s ridiculous. This is the NFL AAA or minor leagues.

After the results we had this year… Cooper should pay us
If he had a deal he should get paid in accordance with the deal. But it seems nothing was recorded.
The irony in all of this is that if they were treated more like students, they probably would have learned more of these lessons like “get the agreement in writing”. Instead they want to be treated like professionals but they have none of the skills needed to be a professional.
Should have focused more on school…. Lord knows they don’t have a future in competitive football and apparently their future in business doesn’t look too bright either.
I got 2 degrees from TU and never learned squat about contracts. I can't imagine that's a standard part of the curriculum. However, having been a lawyer for a long time, I can tell you that nothing is more problematic than a business guy who "learned contracts" in B school. As the saying goes, they know a whole lot that just ain't so. In any event, assuming OK is like most states, an agreement does not have to be in writing to be an enforceable contract.
Agreed to some degree, but it’s much more problematic to have people signing agreements who have no idea at all about contracts and who don’t have lawyers at their beck and call.
A written contract is not the only way to prove an agreement, but it sure makes it a lot easier. Also going after a coach or an athletic program rather than the NIL fund will require quite the mountain of evidence.
P.S. as engineers, we definitely learned the “get it in writing” paradigm at TU. I think it was part of our ethics discussions which also tied into professional licensing.
