Here's what needs to happen.

The Cougar Club needs to separate from the university and needs to act as an independent 'foundation' that helps with hiring coaches and running the program.

Big time programs have "independent" foundations to help keep the University accountable to the donors and fans...this isn't the case with BYU.

I agree with this. There needs to be much more $$ available for coaching.

While we're at it, maybe we should also discuss the professors being paid well

out of curiosity, how do you know how BYU professors are paid compared 2 others?

Nice straw man.

Actually, I think that you described 99% of the world. The straw man is that BYU

Respond after looking up the definition of 'Straw Man.' It doesn't mean what you

No...only tithes collected from Cache Valley go to the BYU football program.

How underpaid are they?

Bronco's salary isn't too far off from what some position group coaches get in
