The money was earmarked by donors for AJ because they wanted AJ

If you want money to go towards football, you are welcome to contribute. I love football and basketball equally and passionately. Both consume way too much of my time, but I’ve given into the addiction. I love what’s happening with the basketball program. The two programs are not mutually exclusive.

At some schools, it may replace part of it. At top schools, it will be in addition to.

They are complementary. There is an emerging “true NIL” approach which involves fair market value

I'm sure it will be both, not either or, as you correctly say.

I don’t know but you think 200k would get you some really capable players…

All BYU NIL $ should be funneled into 🏈. Stop diluting the funds with 🏀

To consider the signing of AJ to be “diluting” is just a bad take.

How about the ultra wealthy FB alums actually donate like the hoops ones do

AJ is more important to BYU than he is to UNC, Duke, Kansas, Gonzaga, etc.

AJ's impact is just different. I think his signing will also help us land higher

I don’t think we should shell out this much every year but now that we have AJ,

How big is the roster for basketball? How big is the roster for football? There's your answer.
