This is a joke right? You don't amass $100M (reportedly) from donors if you refuse to spend it and make the team better.

TheLoneCougar Adrielle?!

I mean you think these donors don't care about ROI?

Kalani is getting NIL support because the donors (in theory) support what he is doing.

Hans is sharing stories from insiders that BYU has 9 digit ($100 million+) funds

Let's not ignore the fact that Roberts is returning.

If we have a $100 Million in available NIL funds and we can't land Lyon's...

haha, Lyons is for next year and is a 5 star recruit

JOPE

Plus he’s a mission kid. He won’t play CFB for 3-4 more years.

Lyons will be back from his mission about the time Retzlaff finishes his eligibility

If true, where are the football recruiting results?

lots spent on retaining players too, for example USC offered Glasker a huge amount of money

So, USC is engaging in illegal activity?

iirc, Ohio State is the highest at around $20 mil a year.

Well burning $20 million a year, would exhaust that NIL rather quick.

Assuming at least some of that is replenished every year.

Jaxson Dart is probably making over $5 million in NIL deals right now

That was for OL and DL starters. He said Chase Roberts is around the $400-450K

Mabuhay Coug

Dec 20, 2:29pm

That’s how much BYU pays

I'mBatman

He said that he is a $400-450k guy, even discussing staying or going to the NFL

I don’t believe this for a second.

wildlandfireguy

Folks, he's not saying a $100million budget each year. As an endowment, I believe it.

Even as an endowment that seems like a lot to me unless a lot of it came from

Under that thinking, no one would ever get money ever if you could always say to give it to those in need. I'm sure

BYU and the Church donate many more times this amount through other avenues.

My problem with your post is that you for some reason think that donors to BYU sports are so shallow that they don't
