This plus other things. Pope wanted to control the money. BYU wanted to control

Kevin Young has a clear vision and a way to see it through. People bought in

President Reese might be more influential than Kevin Young.

NIL changed/became safer for BYU and Pope leaving scared some people into seeing

Which is not to say I don’t appreciate Kevin Young and what he is doing.

Timing. He did a lot to lay the foundation…

This takes nothing at all away from KY, but it’s 60%+ because of money

I actually think it is more to do with him and his staff. They have money, but

You’re fooling yourself if you don’t think $$$ is the main driver

You’re fooling yourself if you don’t think KY is responsible for the uptick in $

He shares a small slice, but this is mainly from Pres. Reese and down

Yeah... I've talked to enough people to know it isn't just money

Money absolutely factors into it. But this staff is playing a much bigger part

I never said the staff wasn’t playing a factor into all this

Every big school has money.

And the reason it doesn’t take anything away from KY is because the reason that is money is because of KY

He’s doing great things, but I think that’s way too simple an explanation.

Financiers. It wasn't just willingness, either. It was the BOT looking the other way. FINALLY.
SinkingQuffa

What do you mean BOT looking the other way?
VinnyBYU
Aug 2, 8:09pm
By allowing financiers to do — what they haven't been allowed to do in the past.

You’ve usually got pretty good takes, but this isn’t one of them

I’m not being argumentative- truly trying to understand this point

Yeah, their hands were tied in the specifics. Pope complained of the lack of freedom & transparency.

This has been discussed before on CB. Donors weren’t allowed to earmark…

His ability to sell a vision to NIL donors/ admin carried over to recruits

Kevin Young is awesome and we are fortunate to have him but it seems obvious
