The American Future Fund has committed more than $3 million to airing the ads, [CNN](http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/26/politics/conservative-group-donald-trump-campaign/) reports. The ad comes a day after rival Republican Marco Rubio took aim at Trump over Trump University, which bills itself as a school where aspiring real estate moguls can learn the billionaire’s secrets to success. But [Trump University has long been criticized](http://time.com/4101290/what-the-legal-battle-over-trump-university-reveals-about-its-founder/) and Trump faces several lawsuits alleging that the company defrauded its students. “I was trumped by Trump,” says Bob, a character at the center of one ad. “I paid $35,000 at Trump University and all I got was a picture of myself with a cut out of Donald Trump.” Trump has pushed back against recent criticism over Trump University by saying he won most of the lawsuits regarding it.
