I think, in the end, the only thing that will truly matter is which fan bases are willing to pay the most for their team/players. While I love that BYU has a few guys who pay 90% of BYU’s stuff, it cannot be ignored that every fan will need to do their small part. I think too many people write it off as “Ryan Smith needs to pay for ______” but they couldn’t be bothered to cut a check themselves. We can’t hide behind our billionaires if we want to succeed at the highest level; not any more. Obviously some fans do their part, and if you do, that is perfect, but freeloading fans might become an issue if we want to get to the highest tiers.
