Sorry. It was copying the wrong link. Tried 3 times and finally got it right.

Tell your friend that Ryan uses tithing as a straw man. He writes, “Tanuvasa” on the slip.

"Tanuvasa" is the Samoan word for tithing.

Not to me. I would love it if he did. But seems like false information given

Ryan Smith publicly tweeted he did not fund the NIL deal.

How did the statement damage him?

I mean you have multiple people on twitter claiming they are boycotting

Yes, he would have to show damages. I am sure a creative lawyer could come up

He stated he did not fund the AJ NIL deal. Never said he doesn't fund NIL

"I know, let's ask Ryan Smith if he funded AJ's NIL deal!"

Such a sad and hard fall for SI. They used to represent the best in journalism

Ryan has NEVER said he doesn’t contribute to BYU NIL, much less not significant

The awesome takeaway here is that BYU has other big diners not including Smith

I’m one of the bigger diners myself, if I’m being transparent.
