The world of NIL isn't very old, so chances are there are more stories of how not to do it versus how to do it.
And the AD’s job in regards to NIL is simply, “get donors to give you money”. You don’t have to be an NIL expert to do that, you need to be a salesman that inspires confidence.

He’s not gonna be acting as a GM for the football team deciding who the personnel are and which players get x-amount of money.

Yeah the more I’ve thought about it, the better I feel about the NIL thing with him. It’s so new that really no one is an expert and everyone is still learning how to navigate it. Hell it’s still changing. And with his reputation as a fundraiser, I would have to imagine it’s something that he could easily adapt to. Especially since he’s been in the room with a lot of P4 ADs in these discussions. Buddie did say in an interview that it’s pretty clear that no one really knows what they’re doing because it’s so new and unregulated (or at the very least the rules are unclear).

School is giving him a good big first day. The AD manages/builds/preserves the “front porch” of the university. So the fanfare should be big because he just agreed to give dang near his entire self for TCU.
Hoping he got an at least 7 year contract so he can feel open to me as innovative as he sees needed. Let him hire a new GM or help increase for the current guy doing that for him. And give him to power to make the call on coaches.
Let him do his job with some security.

Looks and sounds like a winner. Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Looks and sounds like a grownup. This whole thing’s got me thinking: In light of the allegations made in the lawsuit, you have to expect there are other, um, “issues,” involving the prior AD.
Given that there’s a brand-new sheriff in town on Stadium Drive, who had no part in hiring JD and who would undoubtedly be plugged into any shenanigans in the Athletic Department. . .
Maybe South Carolina was less a step up, and more like getting out of town ahead of the posse?
