One of Colorado’s former assistant football coaches reportedly went rogue — and to the Middle East — in an attempt to secure NIL funding.

One of Colorado’s former assistant football coaches reportedly went rogue — and to the Middle East — in an attempt to secure name, image and likeness funding.— this month that he tried to lobby Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund during the last holiday season to try to get money for Colorado’s 5430 Alliance NIL collective.

“According to Trevor Reilly himself, he acted on his own accord and is no longer an employee of the university,” the spokesperson said. “We want to clarify that Trevor Reilly has never been authorized or directed to speak or advocate on behalf of 5430 Alliance in Saudi Arabia,”. “Since our launch in March 2024, all funding and initiatives have been managed solely within domestic channels and are entirely unrelated to Mr. Reilly’s work. Any claims suggesting otherwise are unfounded and patently false.
