It's not that complicated, folks. Of course, we have some very generous donors who contribute to the AD, and of course
some of those donated funds help with coaches' salaries. The key take-away is that BYU is in total control of the contractual relationships with the coaches. KY has one contract, and it's with BYU. He doesn't have a separate deal with Ryan or any other donor or group of donors. KY, for example, isn't answering to any donor for his job performance or whatever. Elder Gilbert lays out the reasons why this is important.
