BYU has been clear that they're interested in players who aren't solely focused

Which is stupid. We should go after the best. We recruit players, players don't recruit byu

There is clear evidence that they are willing to pay (See AJ). You pay players who want to be at BYU.

We're not talking millions of dollars different. The AJ story explains it well.

You think BYU doesn't have the best business minds involved in NIL strategy?

This is why you are where you are, and BYU just had one of the greatest seasons

You mean for Football? Not saying AJ was motivated by NIL but at 5 million

aTm and Texas will always be top 5 NIL under current rules.

Too bad their top 5 NIL couldn't buy them more than an 8-5 season
