The letter stated, “As you are no longer a member of the University of Cincinnati men’s basketball program, you are no longer authorized to use, represent, or commercially promote the University of Cincinnati basketball program, including the use of the University’s name, logos, uniforms, jerseys, or other team-related likenesses.”
Jizzle responded via Instagram, asserting his independence regarding merchandise, “I have my own merch I made. I don’t need y’all jerseys.”
