Mark Comer: there are 5 Billionaires supporting BYU within 20 min of LES

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

Who is this person and where did he say this?

Is he close to a billionaire?

Even if he’s not officially, he’s close

And either way, as long as he’s using that fortune donating to BYU.

Blake is the wealthiest person in Utah according to Blake

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

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

There are others outside of Provo and outside of Utah

Why not the resources for BYU football? Or is it there but being misused?
