We've also always heard how conservative BYU was in coaching salaries, and they

just opened up the coffers to the tune $4mil+ per year for a head basketball coach. Do you really think that they would do that and then not be more competitive with NIL? Especially with the influx of Big 12 money and the overall increased donor interest.

This is not new news by any stretch, but had an interesting conversation with

Theoretically, NIL is supposed to be completely disconnected from the school.

Just go through cougconnect. They aren't affiliated with the university

They have to have money to pay players.

Not anymore. NCAA isn’t really going to be enforcing anything.

I believe that is the point. The IRS doesn’t think they are. NIL entities that

I wonder what impact that might have on NIL operations and activity?

But they can cut the player from scholarship for HC rules.

there is HC rule for nil? what?

Sure there is… they dont want someone taking an NIL deal with Budweiser

What I think is funny/odd is I don't see ANY promotions with players.

Sure. I suppose if a player enters an NIL deal with Pornhub or Hamas, the school could do that.

Or take on flashy, high dollar. IL deals not approved. As I understand all NIL

They'll never reject an HC compliant deal. Lawsuit waiting to happen if they do

We need to let our boosters go all in, or it's not really worth "competing," IMO

The bigger issue is they want money being distributed equally which has caused

Which they have every right to do with AD donations, but not with private NIL.

THIS is the biggest issue...BYU is concerned about being sideways with title IX

No it isn't. NIL is outside of direct control by the schools...

Holmoe and BOT have nothing to do with NIL. It’s completely separate from school

This doesn’t sound right. Once a student is here BYU really couldn’t do much

Can’t Cougconnect in theory pay football players more , if they get those funds?

My understanding is players have to choose… RBC or CougConnect.
