I don't disagree - some may be confusing Young and co. for bigger than actual
NIL. But, perception absolutely matters here. For both coaches and players.
My guess is BYU would have perceived to be waaaay down this list 12+ months ago.

Supposedly, the NIL bill for Egor alone is ~$1.45m

We likely don't have the #3 most money in NIL in college bball. So it is not accurate to say we are in the top 3.
TheLoneCougar
Aug 21, 1:59pm
I don't think the article is stating it as a fact, simply releasing poll data

The OP was stating it as fact.

I did that how? I never even said what we were top 3 in.

In what world do you think that BYU has more money than Duke, UNC, and Kentucky?

sooooo...your inability to imagine it makes it a fact?
icecougar
Aug 21, 2:04pm
No, the fact there is absolutely no shred of evidence is enough for me.
TheLoneCougar
Aug 21, 2:05pm
which means there's no evidence that the opposite is true either, sooooo...
icecougar
Aug 23, 12:45pm
I didn't make the claim we were top 3. The burden of proof isn't mine.

Prove it. I'm supposed to just take your word for it?
ochobeeguy
Aug 21, 2:38pm
Well, you're taking a poll's word for it. What's the difference? You have no evidence either way.
