So the rumor is we're laying down hard cash for some young Euro stars. I think when you consider two things:

Wouldn't believe the $$$ part of the rumors. BYU will be competitive but not crazy.

With this huge investment for KY, though — they probably don't want him to fall flat in his first year, either.

You’re wrong. BYU is top 1/4 in big 12 for bball.

The rumor in question is a $2mm offer for 1 player, which is an ncaa record high

Yep. You can be top 1/4 but still not pay $2M for one player with 3 more open slots.

BYU can not legally reduce NIL.

BYU doesn’t pay the players for NIL. It’s donors and sponsors mainly.

Could be smart if it keeps the locker room from having issues.

Yeah, but we're without a Marquee player right now. I think Trev understands a guy like Jax is gonna be a bit more.

Well — if you want to compete in the Brave New world — the exceptions are the non-negotiable part of the roster.
