Hans is sharing stories from insiders that BYU has 9 digit ($100 million+) funds

Pretty evident based on how this portal has played out so far.

If we have a $100 Million in available NIL funds and we can't land Lyon's...

haha, Lyons is for next year and is a 5 star recruit

Plus he’s a mission kid. He won’t play CFB for 3-4 more years.

Lyons will be back from his mission about the time Retzlaff finishes his eligibility

lots spent on retaining players too, for example USC offered Glasker a huge amount of money

So, USC is engaging in illegal activity?

iirc, Ohio State is the highest at around $20 mil a year.

Well burning $20 million a year, would exhaust that NIL rather quick.

Assuming at least some of that is replenished every year.

Just need to invest it in the next great Utah MLM!

$13M annually would be huge and allow BYU to compete.

Cougar Club gets closer to $20M per year. I think we'll spend just as much as the big boys over the next couple of

No, you can't spend $20 million of a $100 million fund per year

Jaxson Dart is probably making over $5 million in NIL deals right now

That was for OL and DL starters. He said Chase Roberts is around the $400-450K

That’s how much BYU pays

I don’t believe this for a second.

wildlandfireguy

Folks, he's not saying a $100million budget each year. As an endowment, I believe it.

Even as an endowment that seems like a lot to me unless a lot of it came from

This actually makes me sick...this money should be given to those in need.

You should give me all of your money because I need it more than you do.

Under that thinking, no one would ever get money ever if you could always say to give it to those in need. I'm sure
