Eh. A pittance.
SinkingQuffa

No way BYU boosters are going to pony up that much

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. 🙂

This part depends on the ROI
Carnac

What actually IS the ROI for investors at BYU for athletes?

It's not even my money, so I say pay as much as possible

Boosters plural? It will probably only take one

Thank you for your generosity.

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

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

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

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

You go all in for this guy.
Archaea
3:36pm
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

Yeah imagine 4 demins playing at once

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

Paid student athletes. They are still students

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

No way anybody ponies up $9million.

I'm doing my part...
bluesloth

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.

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
Can't argue with you there.... LOL

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

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

Why do you care if some dude pays 9 million for him. Doesn't hurt you any.
ochobeeguy

Tough to be out when you were never in.
Dryfire

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
$12.8MM is more than $9MM, by a sizable margin. Where are you seeing $10MM?
IdahoCoug
3:30pm
Quote I saw was $10.5m. I didn’t see the $12.8m in your link. Did I miss it?
BYU'01
3:42pm
The main graphic that shows #1 pick is making $25.8MM for a 2 year contract. Half equals $12.9MM
IdahoCoug
3:53pm
The contract is heavily escalated but wouldn’t be surprised if the $10.5m was lo

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

Holy crap welcome to the JVNBA. That's what it is becoming.

Luckily BYU already secured a great coach should it become the JVNBA.

My bet on how BYU will still land him…

Not worth it. If that’s what he wants, I’d rather seen stadium improvements.
Dr MoBYU
3:36pm
How far do you think $9mm would go toward stadium improvements?
palangi
3:48pm
I’d rather see $9M go to anything besides an unproven freshman star.
Dr MoBYU
5:52pm
He's not unproven.
IdahoCoug

Why can't you do both?

Late stage capitalism. We are going to laugh and cry about this in a 5-8 years.

For that kind of dough, why ever turn pro before your college eligibility is up?

Theres going to be kids that retire out of college. Good on them.
