way our coaches are underpaid.

The issue is compounded when those same coaches who are underpaid are asked to perform with limited support resources and under institutional constraints (academics, honor code) that greatly reduce the pool of athletes that they are able to recruit.

Again, this is all relative to other opportunities that exist for qualified candidates in the CFB world.

We like to pretend we are a P5 program in everything but name, and we expect our coaches to beat P5 programs regularly. But we don’t resource our own program like a P5.

If we are honest with ourselves we should be willing to pay coaches more than market rate, given all the unique constraints we ask them to operate under. But we’re BYU, run by Mormons, and we expect to get a lot for nothing.
