the bluebloods have had NIL for years with their bags of cash and the historical bias for their programs.

So NIL actually allows BYU to leverage its strengths and compete in a way we couldn't prior to NIL. And without it, we would just flounder in further obscurity now that everybody can do it. And that would suck worse for BYU - and I want BYU to win.

But like you, I prefer the bleed blue BYU kids that leave and find their way back for reunions and other engagement because they love BYU like I do. It creates a commonality that NIL destroys.
