That’s great. My parents were friends with the Haysbert family and we had Adam

over for dinner with his roommate Leon White when I was a boy.

Great experiences as a nine year old throwing the ball with those guys. My mom is a great cook and they never said no when invited. Adam’s mom sent my mom his favorite recipes. None of my friends believed me at school until I told them to come over to our house and watch. It was awesome. My mom said the only problem was Leon would never leave any leftovers.

I’d love for my kids to get that experience.

Interested. Do you have options for VIP if you're out of state?

This is coming. We are wanting to vet who can do more personalized events and will likely collaborate w/ CB subscribers

We fed Lenny Gomes a few times. He was great to play catch with me! CougConnect is going to make the next generation

Would be cool to see an updated amount donated. Maybe a daily update?

Will do!

11/22/21 1:27pm

Right now we are at…. $0 😂

11/22/21 1:28pm

You should at least be at $100 in donations

I just saw this and was blown away! I’ll do a full reports of today’s results later tonight! 💥

11/22/21 7:42pm

4% more of the tickets have been sold since this post. 1 video link as well. No donations yet. Which is fine. I’ll keep

I ordered two posters for the players to sign, but there was no place to include

11/22/21 2:56pm

They are to be picked up at the event. I will get them to you. Are you in Utah county or do you want me to mail them?

11/22/21 2:59pm

I'm in Idaho, so I'd love them mailed.

Forest Green

11/22/21 3:21pm

K I’ll get a google form for you to put your address in and then get them mailed. I’ll put it up tonight

11/22/21 3:23pm

This does sound like a great thing to do for people who can’t make the event:

Forest Green

11/22/21 4:01pm

This is actually a good idea. I’ll do this for anyone else who wants one mailed. I’ll get a google form made tonight for

We will get a google form for you to fill out and pay over Venmo. I’ll try and get it done tonight

11/22/21 6:07pm

it’d be nice if the university moves to pay players for their NIL from ticket

11/22/21 3:02pm

Yes it would. As of now they are stand off-ish about mixing player and Univ. funds. I originally tried to get this event

11/22/21 3:07pm

fair enough but that is where it will go since the university is hiring them to

11/22/21 3:11pm

I agree. With Ole Miss doing this everyone will follow along soon. Everyone who can that is. And they should

and once football can secure enough NIL money the university could feasibly

11/22/21 3:27pm

The football team already generates enough money to be self sufficient and fund all other sports. Scholarships keep them

11/22/21 3:35pm

Bummer. That's the opposite of what should happen. FB players shouldn't be

11/22/21 3:42pm

Yeah I hear a funny story about it. But I cannot share. 😂

11/22/21 3:56pm

Would more money go to the players if I donate $40? Or buy a $40 ticket?

anonymous37

11/22/21 4:16pm

It’ll all be split the same 60/40 in players favor

11/22/21 4:34pm

For those who can't attend could you create a "Cameo" style product from players

Cougeye

11/22/21 4:24pm

This is coming, as a one time purchase option for our website. My developer may hate me right now. I’ll pile that on him

11/22/21 4:36pm

Was interested in attending until I saw it is in Mapelton. Planning anything in SL County?

11/22/21 4:33pm

Eventually yes. Where it is technically in season we are trying to keep travel for them to a minimum

11/22/21 4:36pm

Good work, this is what I love about BYU fans. Thank you 🙏🏻

Cougar Nation and CougarBoard are the best fan base in sports. Want we get NIL going there is no looking back!!

Money grab not for players is what i heard this is

Well you heard wrong. Go see the players RT it. This was their idea and we will behind in start up costs after this even

11/23/21 8:35am

I'd recommend a higher percentage go to players for donations at least.

60%? Nah, that’s not enough. What a shame.

jigidajrit

11/23/21 4:41am

Weird how all the players are RT’ing our tweet about this event. Almost like the idea came from them and they understand

11/23/21 9:30am

What exactly is this? People pay to see some players?

When you a buy a built bar what percentage goes to the players? When you buy a ticket here the players get profits from

I’d consider changing the headline to reflect this… 🙂 might help

Is this net profit after folks pay themselves for setting up the event? Still not clear.
