How much NIL $ has BYU paid the bball roster? How much $ has Ryan Smith

ALUF 1990

Word is that Ryan Smith isn’t close to the #1 NIL contributor.

That rumor/myth has taken on a life of its own with UU fans.

Sep 6, 9:21am

They’re just hoping to make it popular to dislike the Jazz and hit Ryan’s

stoils

Sep 6, 9:48am

I kind of love that it really bugs UU fans that a BYU fan/booster owns the Jazz

Sep 6, 10:04am

There are/were plenty of BYU fans repeating that thought. I hope we can change that narrative, in time.

Outing donors that wish to be anonymous should be banned.

I wasn't outing donors. I was joking about who makes up the Mormon Illuminati.

I would hate for Utah fans to go after donors.

ParentingNotForSissy

Sep 6, 10:36am

That would make for a lot of Smiths, Christensens and Jensens to go after...like half of Utah Country.

Don't joke about that, or the Nilt'zns will send their goons after you!

And the same people are there for football and facilities improvements as well.

What set off the big change???

Probably a combination of NIL finally being kosher and shock of Pope’s departure

I’d guess they’re in the $5MM-$8MM range this year with commitments for much more based on who they are recruiting.

mulletino

Sep 6, 9:12am

Idk if we're getting into that range this year but we'll certainly be in that

Sep 6, 9:18am

I think we’re easily over $5MM:

More than that is available

A lot has come from tithing and some from fast offerings

Our tithing slips have been updated with a "BYU NIL Fund" line. Haven't yours?

Here's my complete guesses. Zero inside info

Sep 6, 9:17am

There are some schools where women's basketball players are making 6 figures.

Sep 6, 9:20am

That's probably true. Here's my reasoning.

Many orgs (many reports that BYU fits this) keep similar positions in a range,

I think that's probably pretty low for some of those guys.

CalGTR

Sep 6, 10:47am

These numbers are almost all too low. I think you could double most of them.

Sep 6, 11:19am

There would be mutiny if the disparity were that great from Demin. All #s are Way low save Demin.

Double your numbers and you might still be low, but close.

But those are near worthless, since there is such a surplus in supply.

We invested the 80k from Utah in Nvidia options. Now we have money for NIL.

Hey, don't worry, you have your trucks. That should work.

Thing with basketball is that it can tap into the social status scene

One thing we do know is that money wasn't there when Pope was coaching.

Ryan Smith: $80,000 in lifetime NIL contributions to BYU to date. Players

I also understand that although Ryan is a very key alum, his contributions are a fraction of the donations
