But there’s a cap. So BYU and the other schools who have elected to share the full amount are equal. So at most, revenue

BYU's MO allows them a better chance to max out the profit share.

The revenue share is a fixed cap, not a % of revenue. If BYU pays at or near the

Did you ask him why he has already rejected BYU twice in recruiting?

I did not. But we had a great conversation and I think he’d be an amazing addition. Got to be moving forward

Reason 1: Darrell. Reason 2: Funk.

Gentry says he has 2 years of eligibility left. so perhaps he gets an injury

Have a hard time believing BYU is comfortable with a fan board interviewing transfer portal targets.

Believe it or not it’s true 🤷‍♂️

It’s likely not that after you pay for expenses and try to spread that across several athletes. I admire the effort

The Gentry's and Wonnacotts go back. My guess is he has spoken to Jimmer many times.
