Taaffe has asked to keep the supercar for one more year
Texas Longhorns alum Michael Taaffe was loaned a Lamborghini Revuelto as part of a name, image, and likeness deal he signed during his time in Austin. Now, Taaffe, who worked his way from a walk-on to an All-American, has to give the supercar back.
As you’d imagine, Taaffe isn’t happy about giving back the Lambo, Super Car Blondie reports.
From Super Car Blondie:
“The dealership in question was Lamborghini Austin in Texas. The dealer had recently signed some of the Longhorns’ players as promotional partners over the past few years. With that deal came the chance for players to make use of the Italian supercars. The iconic vehicles were often used at recruiting weekends. … [Taaffe’s] sponsorship with the dealer has now expired, even though he was under the impression he could keep the car.”
“The guy at Lamborghini Austin, Mr. Bruce Knox, if you’re tuning in — one more year,” Taaffe recently told the 3rd and Longhorns show on YouTube.
