Ryan Smith is a nice scapegoat, but he's not remotely the only mega-donor to BYU and its athletics

Thin facade to provide plausible deniability. They’re huge Ute donors.

Ryan Smith’s brother has to be one of the five, right?

I highly doubt it. He is not a friend of the church

Not required to be a friend of the church to be a friend of BYU

Given what I know about him, I’d be shocked if he’s a friend to BYU

5 billionaires - BILLIONAIRES? If it's true we should be seeing much more

A $10 - $20 million contribution for a billionaire (multi-billionaire) is a drop
