Mark Comer: there are 5 Billionaires supporting BYU within 20 min of LES

CougarCanuck76

Jun 19, 5:30pm

Ryan Smith is a nice scapegoat, but he's not remotely the only mega-donor to BYU and its athletics

Bob Vance

Jun 19, 5:31pm

Who is this person and where did he say this?

macdizzle

Jun 19, 5:32pm

Runs RBC and big donors

CougarCanuck76

Who are the other four not named Ryan Smith?

Not Jeff Green

I can’t say his name, but his initials are Blake Roney

andrewg3

Jun 19, 10:10pm

Is he close to a billionaire?

Hank Rearden

Jun 19, 10:20pm

Even if he’s not officially, he’s close

andrewg3

Jun 19, 10:46pm

And either way, as long as he’s using that fortune donating to BYU.

Hank Rearden

Jun 20, 8:05am

Blake is the wealthiest person in Utah according to Blake

AFitisemanu

Lol, Blake would not say that.

They are silent donors for a reason.

Vernon Dozier

Related to former player Cameron Comer?

Yes. Cousin.

Vernon Dozier

Mark is Cameron's uncle.

dYrtbYkerYder

I was referring to Mark’s son Easton from the thread…

Mark is well off. Wealthy not so kick.

Ken died in 97. His son, Robert, is ceo and was a bishop in our stake.

Robert passed away 4 years ago. John is the CEO.

John's dead

KenGarf sponsors many college teams including BYU. We need Polyamorous sponsors.

ParentingNotForSissy

Thin facade to provide plausible deniability. They’re huge Ute donors.

I know of a super rich donor (might be billionaire)

Ryan Smith’s brother has to be one of the five, right?

rivercitycoug

Jun 19, 6:21pm

I highly doubt it. He is not a friend of the church

maxpowers

Jun 19, 6:22pm

Bummer.

rivercitycoug

Jun 19, 6:22pm

But is he a friend of, uh, Ryan Smith?

WaffleCheese

Jun 19, 7:05pm

Not required to be a friend of the church to be a friend of BYU

icecougar

Jun 19, 7:36pm

Given what I know about him, I’d be shocked if he’s a friend to BYU

maxpowers

That’s unfortunate

His wife gave a forum address at BYU 3 years ago

Ryan’s dad Scott has more money than Ryan

Jared absolutely does not care about BYU or BYU sports

Zombre

I think he's friendly toward BYU. He met with us several times during my MBA.

The difference now is how they can support BYU via NIL

CougarCanuck76

Jun 19, 7:14pm

That’s cool but not a ton compared to some other schools

Srg

Jun 19, 7:34pm

There are others outside of Provo and outside of Utah

2FarGone

Jun 19, 7:37pm

And we see how far that support has led to major sports athletic success for Cal

BlooCoug

Jun 19, 8:16pm

Why not the resources for BYU football? Or is it there but being misused?

WabiSabi

Jun 19, 7:38pm

It's there and being spent well. Football has 85 roster players as opposed to 15

5 billionaires - BILLIONAIRES? If it's true we should be seeing much more

WabiSabi

Jun 19, 8:05pm

A $10 - $20 million contribution for a billionaire (multi-billionaire) is a drop

WabiSabi

10-20 million one time or annually?

This article names 7 billionaires in Utah. Ryan, his brother & dad, Gail Miller,

Tare

Jun 19, 8:05pm

There are more Billionaires than who is listed. I know of at least 2 others that live here that are not listed.

specsauce

Jun 19, 8:46pm

For example - Dave Bateman. Not saying he is a donor, just providing names.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 19, 9:13pm

I doubt he’s a billionaire. Wealthy sure

Tare

Jun 19, 9:24pm

I have it on good authority he is a billionaire.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 19, 9:39pm

I doubt BYU would mbe looking for donations here

Cougstreak

Jun 19, 10:22pm

He lost his control of his company due to posting things about Jewish people

Charles Darwin

Jun 19, 10:28pm

Yeah sounds like he went pretty loco

greatbam

Jun 20, 7:02am

Right, which is why I said he is an example, but not a donor….

Atmospheric_Cougar

Jun 20, 7:12am

He left Utah and the church

Charles Darwin

Jun 19, 9:55pm

Yup, He lives in Puerto Rico and has a place in UT. I’ve been to his place in PR

I have a neighbor who is a billionaire and wouldn't be on anybody's radar. Dude

Does King Hussein live in Provo? He's probably a billionaire and I know that

He’s a class act

Keith Nellesen is another that comes to mind

Rodger Galland is probably a billionaire. Not sure if or how much he donates to

volleyjiver

Rodger flies so far underneath the radar, it's crazy.

If you want to know who the big donors are just see who is in court side seats.
