had donated $7 million NIL to BYU to pick up players. This surprised me but this guy really is a straight shooter so I thought maybe Ryan Smith did something this past week. Only thing I could find is this article:



I'm assuming this is hogwash? Happy if it isn't but I feel like Smith already addressed this. That said why would SI print this if it is not verifiable? They talk as though it is fact. Hard to believe that Smith would not have been transparent with a comment like he made in a world where people confirm comments like that by any means necessary. Thus I'm in doubt about this whole thing. That said, if I was a Ute fan and read this I would take it as fact, so I can't blame my buddy.
