BYU football probably has much more money in NIL, but they've been extremely conservative in how the choose to spend it. A lot of the hesitation from Kalani was wanting to help everyone get a relatively equal payout. He wanted to avoid dividing the locker room. I think he sincerely believes this is the way BYU wants it so that's why he's approached it this way.
Contrast that with BYU basketball which went in a completely different direction and is cutting edge in its approach. They are leveraging capitalistic strategies in their approach and using that to drive behavior. This goes against all preconceived norms for BYU.
Depending on which approach is most successful is the way future decisions will likely be made.
