“There’s gotta be some leadership at the very top that kind of cleans all of this up,” Aikman said. “Starting with players that accept money. There’s gotta be some accountability and responsibility on their behalf, to have to stick to a program.

“I gave money to a kid, I won’t mention who. I’ve done it one time at UCLA, never met the young man. He was there a year, he left after the year. I wrote a sizable check, and he went to another school. I didn’t even get so much as a thank you note. So, it’s one of those deals, to where I’m done with NIL. I want to see UCLA be successful, but I’m done with it.”
