Someone please explain how these types of payments further the mission of BYU, and not just the basketball program. I'm all for it, just want to know.

Talking to a former BYU BB player this last weekend about AJ Dybantsa. He is

Will this kid likely only play one year?

Dr MoBYU

9:45am

certainly

GfB

He will definitely only play one year.

DieHarder

Yes, it’s a near guarantee he will only play 1 year.

For 4 million a year, I’d stick around and have a blast in college.

Take? Yes. Pass...

He's coming.

If anyone thinks he’s not worth that,

the marketing would last his entire career, every time he gets mentioned.

AJ, JJ, Staton would be the greatest incoming class since... THIS YEAR!

good heavens, that IS a killer 2nd year of recruiting.

A sequel better than the original? Crazy

If he really turns into something like LeBron, so worth it

Projectoor

If he turns into a Lebron we should have to pay him 4M every year and we would still be underpaying. If he is above

RoaroftheCougartails

True, but being the next Lebron is hard to predict

I keep trying to explain this to my non-sports fan family about Shohei Ohtani. The revenue he generates for the Dodgers

Saw that Ohtani is the highest paid athlete now by a mile with advertising $$$

I didn't think NIL is coming out of BYUs pocket directly. I thought it's coming

Hes a shoe in for NBA too. We need kids to get drafted for recruiting. Show that KY's system works.

Imagine Lebron, Kobe, Garnett or some of these High School kids that entered the

Can you explain this clause more?

Crazy money. It is today's reality, but coming to grips w/a walk-on lucky to get

Yup - market that is out there is $3-$5m so this isn't a surprise. The surprise

VinnyBYU

That's about $1 million/month he would be here. One basketball season

Imagine if BYU was the alma mater for Curry, Durant, or Jokic. That is the type of talent this guy is reputed to be.

Would they really though? Honestly curious and an interesting challenge

Tell me this, have you heard that LeBron would have picked Ohio State

RenoCoug

Ugh. Thanks for holding back BYU athletics

TNT

Ugh. What happened to amateur sports? If I wanted to watch pros I’d turn NBA on

zerome4sooners

More of a pro model is the only chance we have to get five star guys. Amateur

Undefeated

The game is very much the same as it always has been. It's not like we watch and all we see is negotiations and money

RoaroftheCougartails

BYU could never have success in today’s amateur sports

CycloneCoug

1:30pm

NBA is boring. There's no passion. These kids are still passionate about making it to the pros and succeeding.

Shoe companies early 90’s. You haven’t watched amateur bball for 3 decades if

I hate the $ side of it too but it has at least leveled the playing field a bit

Whatever BYU (NIL) has to pony up, it will pay off big time for the program!

Sorry but that is crazy money. If that is what it takes call me out. No way.

Well you don’t have to pay the $4M all by yourself

It is worth more than double that for the university in terms of press.
