Without game under his belt, how did KY out recruit and sell byu better than MP?

MajorZeus

I think 3 reasons.

Aug 2, 5:59pm

Follow up. Why didn’t MP have these nice shiny things?

Admin didn’t believe he was the long term future of the program

*And higher profile donors

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

He always had one foot out the door?

Why do you think a guy that did this has one foot out the door?

President Reese might be more influential than Kevin Young.

Aug 2, 6:32pm

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.

gwalker

Timing. He did a lot to lay the foundation…

You have them in the opposite order though

Those three things are not the diagnosis they are the symptoms

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

CycloneCoug

Aug 2, 6:05pm

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

Aug 4, 10:02pm

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

GlutealGuy

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

Aug 4, 10:32pm

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

Cougar TD

Aug 4, 10:51pm

Me too

Aug 4, 11:10pm

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

Cougar TD

Aug 4, 11:16pm

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

Aug 4, 11:21pm

Every big school has money.

idcougarfan

Aug 2, 6:30pm

Yes that’s why they get big recruits

JoeExotic

How did we get Igor Damon over Arkansas?

Aug 4, 10:00pm

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

Blue2thebone

Aug 2, 8:31pm

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

gwalker

Aug 2, 8:55pm

That’s just it….you’re putting the cart before the horse…

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

SinkingQuffa

Aug 2, 6:09pm

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.

SinkingQuffa

Aug 2, 8:19pm

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

Blue2thebone

Aug 2, 8:34pm

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

VinnyBYU

Aug 2, 9:09pm

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

SinkingQuffa

Aug 2, 9:55pm

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

icecougar

Aug 3, 7:38pm

To imagine what could be, unburdened by what has been

icecougar

Don't you dare put that on me!!

Pure fantasy. Very little truth in this post

Blue2thebone

Aug 2, 10:54pm

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

Thought that was a lil overboard gay at the time. But maybe not?

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

What you say is totally possible. Probably partially correct.
