Why did BYU NIL explode as soon as Young was named coach?

I’ve had the same questions. Excited to hear some CB wisdom on this.

Or people with money didn’t want to donate to NIL while Pope was coach?

This is my guess. Pope was somewhat abrasive on top of not being a BYU guy

KY isn’t a BYU guy and will probably also bolt when given the right chance-

I’ll take Ryan Smiths word when he says he would have an NBA coaching job.

Unlike Pope or Pope's wife, KY's wife attended BYU, and KY spent a little time on BYU campus in the past

I don't see KY bolting anytime soon because I imagine BYU will be a better fit for his family for the time being but...

I don’t think he signs a 7 year deal if he’s thinking about bolting at the first
