Fortunately, he comes from two-parent home with a strong father. He's set up.

I used to tell my kids during the Jimmer years to really enjoy it because they

Definitely different games but the hype level is going to be huge.

Sorry guys, the Jazz will forever suck because BYU got the #1 recruit

7 Million? It keeps climbing. That fish keeps growing every time retold.

Ycrazy

2:31pm

$7M is the estimate of total NIL money. Most of that is Nike/Red Bull. It's not anywhere close to that from BYU

BYUMizzou

That's a win-win.

cougfanblue

There’s no salary cap or rookie salary structure for NIL 🤷🏻. Yet.

It's nuts that AJ has been signed for multiple weeks. How did this not leak?

AJ could be in LA Olympics 2028 for team USA, Egor for Russia

Will Russia be allowed in the olympics in 2028? How long does their ban last?

Mostlyaccurate

Hopefully for another three Olympics

Archaea

It probably depends on how long the war with Ukraine continues. If they resolve

Indy Coug

BTW, I fail to see why it's the fans' responsibility to purchase rosters for the school

Indy Coug

The schools can't pay players and schools receive donations all the time. Does that help you understand it?

This is why BYU/Church being all in on athletics is such a big deal

BYU MB needs a point guard that can take people off the dribble…

SoggyBB

Yep, either thru the HS ranks or thru the portal, a “dynamic” guard is needed to unlock teams full potential.

They're waiting to get a big TV contract before expanding.

It's not only about giving money but ensuring that it will go where you want it

I'm guessing "Major Gift" = $1m+

My speculation is the additional courtside seats on the baseline were put there

Jesse Pinkman

That's not speculation. Those seats are sold as NIL fundraisers.

UC Davis is actually a very good add for the MWC. Tons of upside there

NGB

reagan21

1:59pm

UC davis is still in the FCS and is not in the FBS.

cwilke1

1:59pm

which is why they aren't a football add

reagan21

Eh they're keeping FCS football for now but joining the MWC

NGB

It says they're joining in everything except football.

CameronG

2:02pm

I know. They're an FCS football team but joining... a mid-major? I guess

NGB

2:05pm

Correct, moving from the Big West to the Mountain West in Olympic sports

Does TNT ever regret time spent playing pinball and watching Black Sails and wonder if that's why he didn't get into BYU

So Dybantsa is getting 7 million from BYU NIL and another 4 million from Nike?

I am not sure that first number is accurate

JOPE

Wonder if the 7 million figure is counting the Nike number

you have to wonder what locker room dynamics are like considering you have

I don't think the $7 million is accurate.

kimdaddy35

Yevin Koung

And how much is Red Bull paying him?

I'm guessing the NIL combo of Redbull/Nike/BYU comes to $7M

CougarCanuck76

2:03pm

Yep. That's probably it.
