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.

Hunter Clegg isn’t a good flip?

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

JOPE

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

If true, where are the football recruiting results?

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

So, USC is engaging in illegal activity?

LOL of course, they've been doing that for decades.

This ^^^^ I know very clearly the priority they put on retention. Its a very smart move for recruitment

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

Longseason

Dec 20, 12:41pm

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

Assuming at least some of that is replenished every year.

$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

Mabuhay Coug

Dec 20, 2:29pm

That’s how much BYU pays

I'mBatman

Dec 20, 6:25pm

He said that he is a $400-450k guy, even discussing staying or going to the NFL

Mabuhay Coug

I don’t believe this for a second.

wildlandfireguy

Dec 20, 12:42pm

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

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

It’s a stupid system, but it’s just people getting paid what they are worth.

I call this the Judas Argument.

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

The university isn't giving the money to anyone. The money doesn't belong to the university or the church. It is being

Why do you buy season tickets instead of donating that money to charities?

It's not the school's money. It's private people spending private money.

BYU and the Church donate many more times this amount through other avenues.

My problem with your post is that you for some reason think that donors to BYU sports are so shallow that they don't

This is a joke right? You don't amass $100M (reportedly) from donors if you refuse to spend it and make the team better.

100M fund means they have ~10M for NIL, assuming living off interest
