I love the ability of people like you to weave this wonderful, not based in reality, reality. It’s awesome.

You mean, its out? WOW. I missed that notification! I’ll need to make an annoucement!

BYU is the mormon church’s biggest expense. If you think tithing doesn’t indirectly fund BYU…again…believe what you want.

“We can never become a place where the culture is pay to play. We would undermine everything at BYU if that wins out. It’s tempting (but) if they don’t fit the mission, we’d unravel everything.” Commissioner of Church Education Elder Clark Gilbert

Gotta disagree with this. It’s a learning institution pushing a particular religion. Whether it’s the university itself or private donors, you can certainly make the argument that the church could not allow such practices and instead encourage those donors to donate that money to more worthy causes. You can make the argument can walk and chew…[Read more]

How would you (and the rest of the BYU fan base) feel if we all got on Cougarboard and said stuff like this? In a passive aggressive way, you’re essentially rubbing this in our faces on our own website. Totally lame.

I would support this approach. Make it minor league NFL.

Then let college sports be students that play sports. Instead of athletes that got to class (sometimes).

I’ll respond point by point:

– I don’t doubt this. BYU has a shit ton of money. So do their alum. If Utah can get big bucks from donors, I fully believe BYU can…especially when BYU has “other” reasons to give money, such as “BYU being a good vehicle to advertise mormonism.”

– Believe what you want. I call bullshit. We KNOW Nike steers…[Read more]

How many points have he averaged in college so far??

Has he even step on the court for byu yet???

Seems like a lot of excitement for someone who has done anything yet.

He’s a year before he even reports to byu. A lot can happen between now and then.

Let’s talk in 18 months

I totally agree that there is no real monetization. The “investment” by a booster in NIL is one with extremely limited (if any) financial returns for the booster. It is essentially a hobby for the booster. But that has largely always been the case. There is no real financial return to donate large sums to an athletic department or buy a box seat.…[Read more]

Take this shitpost to cougarboarc.

But how exactly is Clark hypocritical? Has he stated that he supports Ryan Smith sponsoring an athlete? Does he have the ability to prohibit Ryan Smith from paying an athlete? Also, how are BYU fans hypocritical in this? For supporting a booster paying an athlete to go to the school they support? Did they collectively say that they would never…[Read more]

Harding is over the line and an Assistant coach. It makes no sense. He was also co/OC and OC at one point. He is the Shrutest regional manager ever.

Explosive offense 😂😂😂

I agree, not a comment to get worked up over or be offended about. Making fun of a certain group of people is how it came across to me initially (which I didn’t appreciate), but I shouldn’t assume that was the intention. And even if that was the intention, whatever.

Will Ryan Smith be able to draft any BYU player that he funds with NIL?
