TLDR version: Former Colorado U staffer tried to get NIL funding from a Saudi Arabian public fund. This group owns part or all of some international soccer teams and tried to buy Formula One, professional tennis, and the PGA. The fund is said to exceed $1 trillion.
It was once said (paraphrased) that "college football has a draft. And Nick Saban gets the first 20 picks."
The Saudi deal could blow Saban's out of the water.
Also, how would the universities spin the partnership considering Saudi Arabia's record on human rights, inclusion, etc.
