BYU and the Church have made their calculus in terms of expanding the profile of the University and what comes along with it.

Hans is sharing stories from insiders that BYU has 9 digit ($100 million+) funds

Pretty evident based on how this portal has played out so far.

Hunter Clegg isn’t a good flip?

Did Hunter Clegg flip?

If we have a $100 Million in available NIL funds and we can't land Lyon's...

Coug

haha, Lyons is for next year and is a 5 star recruit

JOPE

Plus he’s a mission kid. He won’t play CFB for 3-4 more years.

Lyons will be back from his mission about the time Retzlaff finishes his eligibility

Did Lyons commit somewhere?

If true, where are the football recruiting results?

lots spent on retaining players too, for example USC offered Glasker a huge amount of money

JOPE

So, USC is engaging in illegal activity?

LOL of course, they've been doing that for decades.

iirc, Ohio State is the highest at around $20 mil a year.

Longseason

Well burning $20 million a year, would exhaust that NIL rather quick.

Assuming at least some of that is replenished every year.

Just need to invest it in the next great Utah MLM!

To your point…

Da Cougars

$13M annually would be huge and allow BYU to compete.

SnickSnack

Cougar Club gets closer to $20M per year. I think we'll spend just as much as the big boys over the next couple of

Great info! To your point, I hope it sustains itself.

No, you can't spend $20 million of a $100 million fund per year

Jaxson Dart is probably making over $5 million in NIL deals right now

Coug

That was for OL and DL starters. He said Chase Roberts is around the $400-450K

Mabuhay Coug

I don’t believe this for a second.

wildlandfireguy

12:42pm

Folks, he's not saying a $100million budget each year. As an endowment, I believe it.

CalGTR

12:46pm

Even as an endowment that seems like a lot to me unless a lot of it came from

JuicyJam

BYU's endowment is quite a bit more than that. And, this number isn't actually that crazy when you look at how BYU

Well yeah the real endowment is.

Before Sy Kimball passed away, he said there was about $17 million in the

I don't think it's an endowment but I think it will be treated as one.

Sure. I have no idea what the real numbers are or how they have things structured.

CalGTR

Hans is still discussing it and said the fund is fairly recent helped by results

This actually makes me sick...this money should be given to those in need.

cb1kenobi

It is.

You should give me all of your money because I need it more than you do.

Yes, let’s just give money to people. It always works. Solves hunger, illness

Reasoning with cougarboarders is so sad.

irony is a strong suit of yours.

Shouldn't you be serving in a soup kitchen rather than spending time on CB?

It’s a stupid system, but it’s just people getting paid what they are worth.

What percent of their total donations do you think Cougar Club members send to BYU? I'd bet it's a small fraction of

HarlemCoug

So people aren't allowed to get paid their market value under your opinion? Interesting

Coug

They should yes...

Who says there isn't?

JuicyJam

Apparently he thinks the billions of wealth created by college football each year should go to the universities and

No..."he" doesn't. That scandal is something that needs to be addressed on...

I love it when people judge and tell others how to spend their money. Thanks!

It's not the school's money. It's private people spending private money.

BYU and the Church donate many more times this amount through other avenues.

Why do you get to decide how others spend their money?

My problem with your post is that you for some reason think that donors to BYU sports are so shallow that they don't

Curious how you know this? Are transfers picking other schools because Kalani has the funds available to him but doesn't

HarlemCoug

This is a joke right? You don't amass $100M (reportedly) from donors if you refuse to spend it and make the team better.
