Why are BYU fans actively working against someone who’s giving $250K+ in NIL with zero personal profit?

If you don’t want to donate I get it… but what’s the point of being a fan if you’re going to complain about people helping the team you cheer for?

Connect guy Shares too much information.

CBers talking about their businesses gets shut down by Jefe - yet CC spammy

Riggins Rigs

Seems like a good thing for CB to support. Jefe obviously things so. His board,

Yeah I don’t get the complaints. These guys are NIL. Support them just for

The money Coug Connect shares is pennies compared to TRB.

Rise Against

Apr 27, 8:15pm

not to those players who TRB cut off

Zombre

Apr 27, 8:36pm

Not really. But I’m sure you have no idea what they actually offer

WP17

Apr 27, 8:48pm

You know actual numbers?

Don Carlton

Apr 27, 9:12pm

Yes

Rise Against

Apr 27, 11:05pm

It’s less (~$250k) but still meaningful and more rapidly deployed. They’re both great and fulfill different purposes

WP17

Apr 27, 11:10pm

250 a year? Sounds decent enough to help. Every bit helps

Don Carlton

Apr 27, 11:15pm

To me it makes sense to support both. TRB is for big time offers. Coug Connect for less bureaucratic rapid action.

WP17

Apr 27, 11:23pm

They also do quite a bit to help the players

CougConnect people aren’t writing this. You guys are bringing it up. Engaging with it and putting it on the front page

ThugMormon

Apr 27, 10:31pm

you're sharing too little information 😉

SingleStrapBackpack

Apr 27, 7:50pm

i saw someone on twitter tracking and he has something like 85% accuracy last

Zombre

Apr 27, 8:36pm

No way

Blue2thebone

Apr 27, 8:45pm

Some people just don’t know what CougConnect is really about

ThugMormon

Apr 27, 10:13pm

Are you running cougconnect?

Grock

Apr 27, 10:58pm

Fine line between “scooping” and “pooping”, I think, but I'm no "insider"...

No thanks.

Jeffacka

88.64% accurate over the last year

ThugMormon

Apr 27, 10:11pm

Honestly, the point of CougConnect isn't to give accurate inside information

krindorr

Apr 27, 10:21pm

This is true. That is the real reason CougConnect exists. Everything else is a bonus

ThugMormon

Apr 27, 10:27pm

The reality is that most real inside info is wrong. Things change rapidly. People in the know give their info and then

WP17

Apr 27, 10:54pm

Because they are annoying. And the information is dumb.

Grock

Apr 27, 10:58pm

You’re on a BYU message board… a lot of stuff is annoying. Just ignore their stuff. They do a ton of good.

WP17

Apr 27, 11:07pm

And they can do it on their own website

Grock

Apr 27, 11:13pm

They do a lot of bad too.

kalifi

Apr 27, 11:13pm

If you’re going to start to slander them then you should back it up. So come on, tell us what they do?

WP17

Apr 27, 11:16pm

It’s not slander if it’s true. If they would just stick to grassroots NIL…

kalifi

Apr 28, 12:40am

false rumors

Blue2thebone

Apr 28, 12:42am

So like Cougarboard? You act like he’s pushing dirt on players. At least suggest an alternative

WP17

Apr 28, 6:50am

If there were a Cougar Connect topic on CB it would be easier for me to ignore.

ochobeeguy

Apr 27, 11:32pm

Zero personal profit? I’d have a hard time believing that.

coug719

Apr 27, 11:01pm

Oh ye of little faith… their team are doing it voluntarily with the hope of going part or full time someday

WP17

Apr 27, 11:09pm

Are you a part of coug connect?

Grock

Apr 27, 11:14pm

I subscribe to support, yeah

WP17

Apr 27, 11:17pm

Because they have actually been a hindrance to BYU success at times, and that

Rise Against

Apr 27, 11:08pm

So they are unimportant and don’t have influence but they’ve been a stumbling block? Which is it?

WP17

Apr 27, 11:11pm

IYKYK, but they've messed something up royally in the past few days. Tom ain't happy.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 27, 11:47pm

This is a huge concern. Discretion is an art and you can’t have competing motives that

Soupie

Apr 27, 11:56pm

This is why CougConnect needs to focus on what it is, and not on being the inside source that people want it to be

krindorr

Apr 28, 6:38am

Lol. IYKYK that isn't true.

Zombre

Apr 28, 6:34am

Because th coug connect and RB have caused issues for the ath dept.

kalifi

Apr 28, 7:20am

I have absolutely nothing to do with Royal Blue. I do have friends in the AD.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 28, 10:00pm

It’s funny seeing you guys claim they’re a small ball unimportant org and then say they’re ruining everything.

WP17

Apr 28, 6:47am

Both aspects can be true. And in this situation they are.

Rise Against

Apr 28, 7:41am

Both can be true, especially when it comes to inside information.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 28, 10:05pm

You’re comparing Bradley Manning to Coug Connect?

WP17

Apr 28, 10:18pm

I'm just providing an example or "small-baller" who did some damage with information.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 29, 5:48am

The idea anything coug connect did was devestating is laughable. Stop with the royal blue intimidation.

WP17

Apr 29, 9:58am

You clearly don't know as much as you pretend to know if you think they haven't

Rise Against

Apr 29, 10:01am

Trying to hurt those actually doing NIL will have far, far more damage than any rumor.

WP17

Apr 29, 11:38am

Pro tip: you guys who defend CC so vehemently are doing

UofUsmellslikePoo

Apr 29, 11:47am

For the second time, I have no connection to Royal Blue. My neighbor works in the AD.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 29, 12:43pm

Interesting. Can you give examples?

ColonelMustard

Apr 28, 2:21pm

I'd rather not.

Rise Against

Apr 28, 3:12pm

Can you at least provide alternative constructive ideas for how to compete in the new world of NIL?

WP17

Apr 28, 3:25pm

Quit trying to be the gossip provider. There are plenty of other avenues to

Rise Against

Apr 28, 3:55pm

CB’s disdain for NIL is quite the conundrum

CougarCanuck76

Apr 28, 4:58pm

This is the most frustrating piece of this entire thread. Zero attempts to redirect or make suggestions.

WP17

Apr 28, 5:17pm

You are purposely being obtuse. I have seen many people say what must happen

kalifi

Apr 28, 5:29pm

Subscriptions are a fantastic way to ensure consistent and predictable NIL… that’s a terrible suggestion

WP17

Apr 29, 9:57am

The complaint isn’t about an IL. The complaint is about the over sharing of information and misinformation.

Blue2thebone

Apr 28, 5:31pm

That’s not a new phenomenon nor is it isolated to CC

CougarCanuck76

Apr 28, 8:55pm

I admit I am confused. How is it that anything CougConnect or fans post hurts

SwampyCoug

Apr 28, 7:55pm

The only way I see them interfering is on an extremely rare
