BYU has been clear that they're interested in players who aren't solely focused

Which is what byu needs to be based the vision of the school.

I'm sorry but that is ridiculously naïve.

We're talking about BYU's choice, not the kid's choice.

There is clear evidence that they are willing to pay (See AJ). You pay players who want to be at BYU.

You think BYU doesn't have the best business minds involved in NIL strategy?

This is why you are where you are, and BYU just had one of the greatest seasons

You mean for Football? Not saying AJ was motivated by NIL but at 5 million

aTm and Texas will always be top 5 NIL under current rules.

Too bad their top 5 NIL couldn't buy them more than an 8-5 season

They were 7-6 and 5-7 the two prior years while spending at the top of the ncaa.
