It’s like politics… you have to have some big money donors dumping $20M+… but you also need the road grassroots support that can act nimbly, and that comes from small $10 donations not billionaires. We need to put up or shut up as fans in the new NIL.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

No thanks.

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

HarlemCoug

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Apr 28, 7:41am

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

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.

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

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

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

Apr 29, 12:43pm

Interesting. Can you give examples?

Apr 28, 2:21pm

I'd rather not.

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

Apr 28, 3:55pm

CB’s disdain for NIL is quite the conundrum

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

Apr 28, 8:55pm

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

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