He was talkin to a fan. I'm not sure how much truth he was spitting out.
Probably was pretty conservative with his information because he knew that fan would be putting it on CB right after

Thoughts from BYU Pres. and VP of Advancement (over Athletics)

a lot of wiggle room here, but that is a little bit concerning.

Agree with the sentiment.

I think there are still a fair number of schools who also dont want college

Then pull the plug now. No sense in stringing the fanbase along with half-yewt

In other words, BYU won't pay players a stipend?
zelph

I think the stipend for full cost of attendance is something they will do
BYUFam1

Holmoe already announced BYU would match the power conferences on stipends

That's called monetizing and merchandising, not professionalizing

You're missing the picture. BYU football will remain profitable regardless.

Good thoughts. Two potential problems, though. First, what about Title IX?

Mens teams will be cut...Tennis, Golf, Swim, etc.

If other schools with larger budgets do the same, then we are right back where

Title IX would not apply if BYU professionalized sports. My good friend

Interesting to hear. However, professionalizing CFB would turn it completely

How is that any different than what BYU is going through today?

If they go pro the NFL will likely lift its rules encouraging athletes to attend
