👀👀👀 "Emails from UCLA’s fundraising department, obtained by FOIAball, show the school is steering money to the charity, with explicit notes that it be earmarked for football NIL."
foiaball.com David at FOIAball @foiaball.com · Nov 20
The day Nico Iamaleava's NIL contract dispute broke, UCLA got $60,000 from donors.

But the school didn't have them send the money to its collective, Bruins for Life.

Instead, it had them give it to a local charity for at-risk youth.

Which is run by the founder of Bruins for Life.
How UCLA used a friendly charity to get tax-free NIL money
The school sent donors to a 501c3, but flagged the money for its football team.
