revenue, whichever is higher. The 60% was intended to be a guarantee for the players time, not a limit.

Thanks for being supportive of our event and our players. This has been a player first concept and I’m sorry anyone felt otherwise

Video link info is now in the OP

Interested. Do you have options for VIP if you're out of state?

This is coming. We are wanting to vet who can do more personalized events and will likely collaborate w/ CB subscribers

That’s great. My parents were friends with the Haysbert family and we had Adam

We fed Lenny Gomes a few times. He was great to play catch with me! CougConnect is going to make the next generation

Would be cool to see an updated amount donated. Maybe a daily update?

Will do!

11/22/21 1:27pm

Right now we are at…. $0 😂

11/22/21 1:28pm

You should at least be at $100 in donations

I just saw this and was blown away! I’ll do a full reports of today’s results later tonight! 💥

11/22/21 7:42pm

4% more of the tickets have been sold since this post. 1 video link as well. No donations yet. Which is fine. I’ll keep

I ordered two posters for the players to sign, but there was no place to include

11/22/21 2:56pm

They are to be picked up at the event. I will get them to you. Are you in Utah county or do you want me to mail them?

11/22/21 2:59pm

I'm in Idaho, so I'd love them mailed.

Forest Green

11/22/21 3:21pm

K I’ll get a google form for you to put your address in and then get them mailed. I’ll put it up tonight

11/22/21 3:23pm

This does sound like a great thing to do for people who can’t make the event:

11/22/21 4:01pm

This is actually a good idea. I’ll do this for anyone else who wants one mailed. I’ll get a google form made tonight for

11/22/21 6:07pm

it’d be nice if the university moves to pay players for their NIL from ticket

11/22/21 3:02pm

Yes it would. As of now they are stand off-ish about mixing player and Univ. funds. I originally tried to get this event

11/22/21 3:07pm

fair enough but that is where it will go since the university is hiring them to

11/22/21 3:11pm

I agree. With Ole Miss doing this everyone will follow along soon. Everyone who can that is. And they should

11/22/21 3:27pm

The football team already generates enough money to be self sufficient and fund all other sports. Scholarships keep them

11/22/21 3:35pm

Bummer. That's the opposite of what should happen. FB players shouldn't be

jvquarterback

11/22/21 3:42pm

Yeah I hear a funny story about it. But I cannot share. 😂

11/22/21 3:56pm

Would more money go to the players if I donate $40? Or buy a $40 ticket?

anonymous37

11/22/21 4:16pm

It’ll all be split the same 60/40 in players favor

11/22/21 4:34pm

For those who can't attend could you create a "Cameo" style product from players

Cougeye

11/22/21 4:24pm

This is coming, as a one time purchase option for our website. My developer may hate me right now. I’ll pile that on him

11/22/21 4:36pm

Was interested in attending until I saw it is in Mapelton. Planning anything in SL County?

Eventually yes. Where it is technically in season we are trying to keep travel for them to a minimum

Good work, this is what I love about BYU fans. Thank you 🙏🏻

Cougar Nation and CougarBoard are the best fan base in sports. Want we get NIL going there is no looking back!!

11/23/21 8:35am

I'd recommend a higher percentage go to players for donations at least.

60%? Nah, that’s not enough. What a shame.

Weird how all the players are RT’ing our tweet about this event. Almost like the idea came from them and they understand

What exactly is this? People pay to see some players?

Is this net profit after folks pay themselves for setting up the event? Still not clear.
