DirtyWater Intervention Needed

In other words, are these just going to be professional teams where the school gets its logo on the jersey like a sponsor?

Biggest downside of NIL for me as a BYU fan is how the nature of our teams is changing.

You’re right in theory. It’s part of the deal though. If we insist on that, we

BYU’s typical recruits will still come & will be the “glue” guys on the team.

And maybe now we finally get the highest level recruits from the church…

No. Figure out the obvious.

Ya Ziggy probably isn't the best example for you to use.

It's a larger purpose positive as these athletes have a good BYU experience and coaches continue to sign all the top BYU

Bear in mind that BYU has been “left out” by the media, conferences, and other

Biggest upside might be that these NIL guys leave BYU with such a positive

I’m worried BYU just becomes an elite prep school program. Love having some RMs.

I don't like NIL and what it has done to college athletics. However, in reality

Don't like it either but have to admit it seems to be leveling the field in FB & blue bloods hate it. That's good to me.

Be careful what you wish for might apply here.

BYU is showing signs they might be good at the new NIL game.

Im not happy with NIL either. But KY has the goods to bring BYU to Blue Blood level with or without it.

I agree with that.

That is cringeworthy. From here, BYU could win 30 NCAA tourney games in the next 10 years.

Over the years the Church and some of the members have become very wealthy...leaning into NIL is not going to corrupt

If you want the old college model you have to drop down to D2 & D3 fb & bb.
