We're talking about BYU's choice, not the kid's choice.

There is clear evidence that they are willing to pay (See AJ). You pay players who want to be at BYU.

You think BYU doesn't have the best business minds involved in NIL strategy?

This is why you are where you are, and BYU just had one of the greatest seasons

whirl

Not the case. I heard of two players who had NIL deals north of 400k this

You mean for Football? Not saying AJ was motivated by NIL but at 5 million

aTm and Texas will always be top 5 NIL under current rules.

Too bad their top 5 NIL couldn't buy them more than an 8-5 season
