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.

Does it matter if he did or didn’t?

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

I personally thinks he donates more in terms of value. KY flew on Smith Private

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

Agreed. Funny thing is I was actually excited- Now Ryan dropped $7 mil? Sweet!

Then Smith should sue the media for libel.

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

It could get tricky if an owner appears to be using NIL to circumvent

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!"

When Ryan said that, I took it as he didn't directly fund him, but I find it

And most importantly, does anybody know the actual number he's donated? Nope. Just people guessing.

Even if it were true what exactly do they think are the implications?

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.
