The Field of 68: $9M for Dybansta

MissouriCoug18 Starter

12:37pm

Eh. A pittance.

SinkingQuffa

12:38pm

No way BYU boosters are going to pony up that much

Hinta

12:38pm

After what's happened the last 6 months — can any of us so "no way" to ANYTHING regarding our financiers?

SinkingQuffa

12:39pm

And we can always print more, right?

Hinta

12:45pm

Maybe. 🙂

SinkingQuffa

12:54pm

This part depends on the ROI

Carnac

2:56pm

What actually IS the ROI for investors at BYU for athletes?

Borg

5:24pm

It's not even my money, so I say pay as much as possible

ochobeeguy

4:18pm

Boosters plural? It will probably only take one

12:42pm

Thank you for your generosity.

Scratch

12:44pm

bOosters have made it clear, they will not be outbid for him

JOPE

12:54pm

He will get $4-$5MM and will be at BYU

2FarGone

Hoping this is the case.

Maybe if the billionaire guy who owns the Jazz is a BYU fan.

Knight-who-says-ni

I have to agree. Why would anyone fork over that kind of money for what,

BlueFever

2:08pm

I disagree. I think donors will happily pay that kind of money.

Trappist1F

3:15pm

IMO that is too much for an umproven high school kid.

Adrielle

12:39pm

This isn’t about one college player. It’s about having the #1 overall pick in the NBA with ties to BYU

TCuz

12:42pm

There you go with that perspective again.

durandal

12:55pm

It's also much easier to recruit other high level players if he's on the team.

Dryfire

1:26pm

Maybe not if his payroll is way higher than theirs

SoBlueitHurts

2:29pm

If the big boosters have the appetite to pay him, everything else is there for

APowerfulY

Imagine this kid being amazing, being an NBA star, and coming back to BYU for recruiting visits with KD and some others.

BlueFever

3:21pm

You go all in for this guy.

Archaea

3:36pm

And yet in saying that — as a program that could probably pay it — we'd be saying we're not comfortable w being #1.

SinkingQuffa

12:44pm

He’s the consensus #1 pick in 2026 draft. He’s worth it

RE: IMO that is too much for an umproven high school kid.

WYC_Coug297

2:52pm

That's a whole roster of quality guys

EEcougar

12:40pm

Yeah imagine 4 demins playing at once

runnincoug

1:15pm

Exactly- it is a starting five plus sixth man of Demin/Catchings caliber

nova_coug_fan

Where's that hundred billion when you need it?

If true, then let's stop calling them "student-athletes"...Let's just call them

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

12:43pm

if he still has to get passing grades for one semester, then he is still a

cwilke1

1:05pm

Paid student athletes. They are still students

palangi

3:45pm

Is a one and done player really worth all that much?

mudpupper

12:43pm

No way anybody ponies up $9million.

TADOW

12:44pm

I'm doing my part...

bluesloth

12:44pm

It's a lot of money, but how much "revenue" does it generate?

IdahoCoug

12:46pm

I'm out. My cut-off was $6M.

Blueto

12:47pm

Haha..could be true, but these numbers could be inflated by agents floating numbers, rumors

Preppy

12:48pm

That's like an entire year of BYU's AD revenue during independence.

swingcat

12:49pm

It’s a lot, but the AD revenue was closer to $100 M annually

JackieMoon33

2:22pm

Uh yeah ummm well maybe not…

karatekid

12:54pm

I'd have to believe that a school could get way more bang for $9M than one year

Scratch

1:00pm

Think of all the different colors of curtains you could hang at the huntsman

bulletproof

1:10pm

Look at it in terms of Utah basketball ticket revenue. It would equal all of their basketball ticket revenue for 1 year

Atmospheric_Cougar

1:16pm

I highly doubt Utah makes 9M a year on basketball tickets. Maybe five years.

Dryfire

1:31pm

Can't argue with you there.... LOL

Atmospheric_Cougar

4:40pm

It would likely be a better investment than Rising has been.

Dryfire

purplmonkeydishwashr

When he signs with BYU, can I just say thank you to Ensign Peak😜

bembom

1:12pm

If we can get guys like Demin and Catchings for $1 million is this worth it?

nova_coug_fan

1:14pm

Is there a cap?

Preppy

1:23pm

I’d rather have 3 too guys. Spread it out.

Don Carlton

1:25pm

there's no salary cap

Belboz

3:04pm

and for that reason... I'm out

yakkamole

RE: and for that reason... I'm out

Preppy

1:34pm

Why do you care if some dude pays 9 million for him. Doesn't hurt you any.

ochobeeguy

4:20pm

Tough to be out when you were never in.

Dryfire

4:25pm

That’s ~salary of the #1 pick in the NBA draft. Suggests he’s going to go direct

BYU'01

1:32pm

Not really.

IdahoCoug

1:41pm

What’s your point? 1st year is ~$10m and escalates in years 2-4?

BYU'01

2:57pm

$12.8MM is more than $9MM, by a sizable margin. Where are you seeing $10MM?

IdahoCoug

3:30pm

Quote I saw was $10.5m. I didn’t see the $12.8m in your link. Did I miss it?

BYU'01

3:42pm

The main graphic that shows #1 pick is making $25.8MM for a 2 year contract. Half equals $12.9MM

IdahoCoug

3:53pm

It’s a nice try by Dybantsa’s camp to drive up the price even more

1:55pm

Those are the numbers his father has been casually throwing out there while

ninja math

2:01pm

For any BYU Boosters who may read this

2:22pm

Holy crap welcome to the JVNBA. That's what it is becoming.

Phiburt

2:34pm

Luckily BYU already secured a great coach should it become the JVNBA.

4:29pm

My bet on how BYU will still land him…

Your Royal Blueness

3:19pm

Huh. Your formatting skills could use some work

TNT

3:33pm

Let's do it

TNT

3:33pm

Not worth it. If that’s what he wants, I’d rather seen stadium improvements.

Dr MoBYU

3:36pm

How far do you think $9mm would go toward stadium improvements?

palangi

3:48pm

Why can't you do both?

ochobeeguy

4:21pm

$9M in stadium improvements gets you this

Atmospheric_Cougar

4:42pm

Late stage capitalism. We are going to laugh and cry about this in a 5-8 years.

bleedsblue

3:53pm

For that kind of dough, why ever turn pro before your college eligibility is up?

lbmango

4:13pm

Theres going to be kids that retire out of college. Good on them.
