Interesting considering this article on Arkansas just 2 months ago.

KY is a safer investment

All this is true, but there's a lot of factors.

Would love to know the reasons behind why Pope couldn't raise the funds

Well surely BYU’s good season was a part of it?

Definitely had to play a role. It seemed that one reason Pope left was lack

Here's the thing. I don't doubt that BYU has gotten themselves in a position

I know we are paying big money. But #3 in the country big money? Regardless,

What is considered big money? I would think $50 grand is big money for an 18 yr

Way more

Supposedly, the NIL bill for Egor alone is ~$1.45m

tacallaway

Aug 21, 1:13pm

Wow! Oh my gosh. I just don't see how NIL can be sustainable long term

CT98

Aug 22, 3:28pm

Much more than 50k. And not just talking about the star players.

PumaFanatico

That is amazing to me. There is a lot more money in college sports than I

It is not overstated. The agents are demanding a price and guys are signing

It's not overstated to say that NIL is the only thing that is drawing these

I don't disagree - some may be confusing Young and co. for bigger than actual

That's pretty crazy that ~1/3 of coaches have us as a top 3 NIL program

Four of the top seven are B12.

This is a poll, not fact.

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 1:30pm

and...?

spidercoug

Aug 21, 1:36pm

We likely don't have the #3 most money in NIL in college bball. So it is not accurate to say we are in the top 3.

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 1:59pm

I don't think the article is stating it as a fact, simply releasing poll data

morningcalmcougar

Aug 21, 2:09pm

The OP was stating it as fact.

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 2:11pm

I did that how? I never even said what we were top 3 in.

spidercoug

Aug 21, 3:30pm

"We are top three!..."

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 4:07pm

I don't know if you read the article, but we are top 3. I shouldn't have to say

spidercoug

Aug 21, 4:12pm

I also don't know why you care so much. The fact is BYU is paying up. That is a

spidercoug

Aug 21, 4:17pm

My point is, the article is not fact it is a poll. Dumb thing to argue about, yes absolutely.

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 5:07pm

Prove it's not a fact…

ochobeeguy

Aug 21, 1:37pm

In what world do you think that BYU has more money than Duke, UNC, and Kentucky?

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 2:01pm

sooooo...your inability to imagine it makes it a fact?

icecougar

Aug 21, 2:04pm

No, the fact there is absolutely no shred of evidence is enough for me.

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 2:05pm

which means there's no evidence that the opposite is true either, sooooo...

icecougar

Aug 23, 12:45pm

I didn't make the claim we were top 3. The burden of proof isn't mine.

TheLoneCougar

Aug 23, 1:29pm

Prove it. I'm supposed to just take your word for it?

ochobeeguy

Aug 21, 2:38pm

Well, you're taking a poll's word for it. What's the difference? You have no evidence either way.

TheLoneCougar

Aug 21, 2:56pm

Big12 has 5 of the top 11… sheesh!
