The Field of 68: $9M for Dybansta

12:37pm

Eh. A pittance.

SinkingQuffa

12:38pm

No way BYU boosters are going to pony up that much

Hinta

12:38pm

After what's happened the last 6 months — can any of us so "no way" to ANYTHING regarding our financiers?

SinkingQuffa

12:39pm

And we can always print more, right?

Hinta

12:45pm

Maybe. 🙂

SinkingQuffa

12:54pm

This part depends on the ROI

Carnac

Boosters plural? It will probably only take one

CommodoreCoug

12:42pm

Thank you for your generosity.

bOosters have made it clear, they will not be outbid for him

JOPE

12:54pm

He will get $4-$5MM and will be at BYU

Hoping this is the case.

Maybe if the billionaire guy who owns the Jazz is a BYU fan.

I have to agree. Why would anyone fork over that kind of money for what,

BlueFever

I disagree. I think donors will happily pay that kind of money.

IMO that is too much for an umproven high school kid.

This isn’t about one college player. It’s about having the #1 overall pick in the NBA with ties to BYU

TCuz

12:42pm

There you go with that perspective again.

durandal

12:55pm

It's also much easier to recruit other high level players if he's on the team.

Dryfire

1:26pm

Maybe not if his payroll is way higher than theirs

SoBlueitHurts

2:29pm

If the big boosters have the appetite to pay him, everything else is there for

Imagine this kid being amazing, being an NBA star, and coming back to BYU for recruiting visits with KD and some others.

BlueFever

3:21pm

And yet in saying that — as a program that could probably pay it — we'd be saying we're not comfortable w being #1.

SinkingQuffa

12:44pm

He’s the consensus #1 pick in 2026 draft. He’s worth it

That's a whole roster of quality guys

EEcougar

12:40pm

Yeah imagine 4 demins playing at once

runnincoug

1:15pm

Exactly- it is a starting five plus sixth man of Demin/Catchings caliber

If true, then let's stop calling them "student-athletes"...Let's just call them

Is a one and done player really worth all that much?

mudpupper

12:43pm

No way anybody ponies up $9million.

TADOW

I'm doing my part...

bluesloth

12:44pm

It's a lot of money, but how much "revenue" does it generate?

IdahoCoug

12:46pm

I'm out. My cut-off was $6M.

Blueto

12:47pm

Haha..could be true, but these numbers could be inflated by agents floating numbers, rumors

Preppy

12:48pm

That's like an entire year of BYU's AD revenue during independence.

swingcat

12:49pm

It’s a lot, but the AD revenue was closer to $100 M annually

BYUCLA

12:51pm

More like the football TV contract revenue during independence.

IdahoCoug

12:52pm

Pass, thanks.

JackieMoon33

Uh yeah ummm well maybe not…

karatekid

12:54pm

I'd have to believe that a school could get way more bang for $9M than one year

Think of all the different colors of curtains you could hang at the huntsman

Look at it in terms of Utah basketball ticket revenue. It would equal all of their basketball ticket revenue for 1 year

Atmospheric_Cougar

1:16pm

I highly doubt Utah makes 9M a year on basketball tickets. Maybe five years.

Dryfire

1:31pm

It would likely be a better investment than Rising has been.

When he signs with BYU, can I just say thank you to Ensign Peak😜

bembom

If we can get guys like Demin and Catchings for $1 million is this worth it?

nova_coug_fan

1:14pm

Is there a cap?

Preppy

1:23pm

I’d rather have 3 too guys. Spread it out.

Don Carlton

1:25pm

there's no salary cap

and for that reason... I'm out

Preppy

That’s ~salary of the #1 pick in the NBA draft. Suggests he’s going to go direct

BYU'01

1:32pm

Not really.

IdahoCoug

1:41pm

What’s your point? 1st year is ~$10m and escalates in years 2-4?

BYU'01

2:57pm

It’s a nice try by Dybantsa’s camp to drive up the price even more
