A former Colorado Buffaloes football staff member resigned from his position over a disagreement with the administration’s handling of its name, image and likeness strategy, which included him trying to get Saudia Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) to assist the program. 

Trevor Reilly, who served as special teams coordinator with the Buffaloes under head coach Deion Sanders, gave Sports Illustrated his resignation letter in which he claims he attempted to raise NIL funds, including trips to Saudia Arabia and Jordan to meet with the PIF, which created LIV Golf, among other sports ventures. 

The PIF has been accused of "sportswashing," an act to distract from unethical practices.

"You paid me $90,000 a year and let me handle special teams," the letter says, according to Sports Illustrated. "I did all this work in your name and was told to pursue it. I burned through all my contacts in my Mormon community, which is worth about $3 trillion. Now, I can't get these people to answer my calls because I just found out today that none of my endeavors will happen.

"I even went to Saudi Arabia and got a meeting with the Saudis, who were interested in pursuing business. I have email receipts to prove it, and you guys let it fall flat on its face."
