Biggest downside of NIL for me as a BYU fan is how the nature of our teams is changing.

You’re right in theory. It’s part of the deal though. If we insist on that, we

I think I get what you're saying, but I'd like to see Ziggy back in the BYU

BYU’s typical recruits will still come & will be the “glue” guys on the team.

And maybe now we finally get the highest level recruits from the church…

Define “Natural fit recruits”

No. Figure out the obvious.

Ya Ziggy probably isn't the best example for you to use.

Why is that?

It's a larger purpose positive as these athletes have a good BYU experience and coaches continue to sign all the top BYU

Bear in mind that BYU has been “left out” by the media, conferences, and other

So you want mediocrity . . . Ok

Biggest upside might be that these NIL guys leave BYU with such a positive

I’m worried BYU just becomes an elite prep school program. Love having some RMs.

I don't like NIL and what it has done to college athletics. However, in reality

Don't like it either but have to admit it seems to be leveling the field in FB & blue bloods hate it. That's good to me.

Be careful what you wish for might apply here.

BYU is showing signs they might be good at the new NIL game.

Im not happy with NIL either. But KY has the goods to bring BYU to Blue Blood level with or without it.

I agree with that.

Natural fit recruits =4 tournament wins in 30 years

That is cringeworthy. From here, BYU could win 30 NCAA tourney games in the next 10 years.

I'm sad that it's just a mercenary laundry-cheering system now, but it was also

How many of the new recruits are LDS?

That was a well crafted post. I suspect many fans are pondering the same thing

Biggest upside is winning. I'll take the upside

I’ll take a combination of both types of players.

Over the years the Church and some of the members have become very wealthy...leaning into NIL is not going to corrupt

Cthack1

Players keep saying the new guys are BYU type players. KY recruits BYU fit!

All your concerns will dissipate when we make the Final 4

If you want the old college model you have to drop down to D2 & D3 fb & bb.

It would be nice if the church had a school doing that somewhere. Losing Ricks
