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.

But the IRS might.

Not if proper taxes are paid

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

I’m talking about paying them going forward.

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

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

Apr 24, 4:06pm

there is HC rule for nil? what?

bald man

Apr 24, 4:08pm

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

ordinary tri guy

Apr 24, 4:42pm

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

Madam Pattirini

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

Sandstone Cougar

Apr 24, 4:17pm

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

ordinary tri guy

Apr 24, 4:26pm

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

Utah passed a law this session to prevent NIL deals with porn, alcohol companies

"testimony of the truthfulness" - do we have 3 witnesses yet?

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.

NWCoug

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

coot20

Apr 24, 5:33pm

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

The numbers in the post are baseline guarantees for every player.

I've heard the money is much bigger...especially for some of the bball recruits

Stucoug83

The money is much more than 50k especially basketball and football….

The school can’t limit what $ amounts players are payed for NIL.

My argument against NIL: It’s too mercenary/leads to massive selfishness.

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

Really reliable report...not. You heard through "someone" what "we all know"...

Jasbo

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

zerome4sooners

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

davidmj10

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

I'mBatman

Apr 25, 9:59am

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