My guess is NIL deal was much bigger. Nobody gonna turn that down.
As for Pope, I've defended his actions up til now and truth be told Pope is doing what's best for Pope. He has no loyalty to BYU clearly in any way.
I'm not gonna get butt hurt about it but I also hope he sucks at kentucky.
I know one thing is for sure, he won't be welcomed back at BYU ever now. Fans won't forget how he burned it down on the way out.
