Having been in the boxes at LES and RES, LES is nowhere close. BYU feels chintzy

FSU used to say the same thing. They got complacent & the ACC left them behind

Schools would be wise to put as much money as they can into NIL.

Putting hundreds of millions into facilities is kind of 10 years ago

If it's "kind of 10 years ago" then BYU is at least 10 years behind

Add luxury box towers in the corners and build a brick external facade.

The people who buy luxury boxes have told BYU they don't want to be in the corners (nor the end zones).
