Every player BYU has come up short on has been due to not being able or willing to put up enough 💰

Pops Issacs preferred BYU. But creighton outbid (CC)

Blue2thebone

May 15, 10:44pm

With Pop’s reputation, he was never coming to BYU

dixdog

May 15, 10:57pm

That’s nonsense. We were his first choice and BYU was scrambling to match Creighton and couldn’t do it.

Blue2thebone

May 15, 10:58pm

He might have wanted to go to BYU, but he was never going to be on the team

dixdog

BYU had secured the car that he wanted and was An extra $200,000 to match Creighton

Coug Connect has been very wrong recently so if that's your source, I wouldn't go around spouting it as fact.

Blue2thebone

That is bad reporting and false. He was stealing most of his good stuff from my FO a few months back. No mas.

That’s interesting

Here's why we're asking...... because we doubt you "know" any more than the rest of us.

Soupie

It's clear to me he pieces things together from dubious sources, and then repackages the speculation as absolute facts

CLCougar

May 16, 6:53am

Horse pucky. BYU has better options. BYU is competitive, never outbids. Attending/playing at awesome BYU is worth a lot.

roseyscenario

Unless I’m confused I thought the school has no controls over NIL offers?

Link?

Kolipoki

May 15, 10:22pm

Well, it’s BYU versus the field. Of course the field is going to win some. BYU

VACougMD

May 15, 10:23pm

The field will win most

niqmadu

May 16, 6:49am

Can you substantiate how you know this so definitively?

CLCougar

May 15, 10:26pm

Can’t. Pure conjecture about NIL flying around.

Players who have spoken publicly, as well as others who have real knowledge of

Schultz is back

May 15, 10:29pm

Hall and Saunders took far less to come back and play for BYU so how is that being competitive?

Blue2thebone

May 15, 10:44pm

What kind of numbers are you talking about? What were their offers and what did

bigbossbyu

May 15, 10:50pm

"Far less"...overdramatizing like this only further weakens your credibility

CLCougar

May 16, 6:56am

Mark: “I personally know what those guys left on the table to return to BYU and it’s significant”

Blue2thebone

May 16, 7:51am

So, even if this is true, and they came back anyway .....

fattycoug

May 16, 7:39am

Can you at least give examples of who you're thinking of? Chandler was a Pope guy so think he goes to UK

Soupie

May 15, 10:44pm

Soupie you serious? name one player that BYU paid dollar for

Blue2thebone

May 15, 10:45pm

I don't know what we've paid nor do I know what you mean by "top dollar". I'd guess Hall, Richie & Keta

Soupie

May 15, 10:49pm

Top dollar means that they were offered the most by BYU. What they are getting paid is not competitive. Watch the Mark

Blue2thebone

May 15, 10:59pm

BYU will never be top 5 for NIL in the nation and frankly, we should all be okay with that. The guys going wherever the

Soupie

May 15, 11:04pm

Well that’s fair.

Blue2thebone

May 16, 12:55am

You have yet to give $ details. If BYU is within 10% they are very competitive

NYC and Japan

May 16, 7:02am

All points well made. You will likely get ignored or a just a defiant response with no substance. One addl point

CLCougar

May 16, 7:33am

BYU just paid top dollar for a coach. KY is top 10-15 highest paid coach in the

bigbossbyu

May 15, 10:55pm

This is true. But they are not matching top offers for the guys that have gotten away

Blue2thebone

May 15, 11:00pm

We're all still waiting for the numbers and where you got them.

Soupie

May 15, 11:06pm

I swear these are AI posters that blame everything on BYU not paying enough NIL without evidence

Hammurabi

May 15, 11:12pm

For Isaacs we were $200,000 short

Blue2thebone

May 15, 11:16pm

And how do you know this?

Hammurabi

May 15, 11:22pm

You’re not an insider with coug connect or any of the others are you?

Blue2thebone

May 15, 11:25pm

Pop was never coming to BYU.

Schultz is back

May 15, 11:33pm

Fans sharing super duper fan insight? Or validated contract info? I take all NIL rumored #s and divide them by the fans

Hammurabi

May 15, 11:44pm

CougConnect has been wrong a whole lot more than he has been right. Very

kimdaddy35

May 16, 1:40am

You are probably correct on both points in your last line.

NYC and Japan

May 16, 8:31am

So you're making the case that being the top bidder isn't necessary for BYU to land guys. I agree.

Soupie

May 15, 11:30pm

Good riddance.

niqmadu

May 16, 7:13am

BYU pays the Coach but not the NIL offers. Those are from private funds.

Deny deflect & distract. You’ve got it down

Blue2thebone

It is a joke about what seems to be like a one note piano from some fans

Hammurabi

May 16, 5:38am

Why aren't you paying more?

ochobeeguy

May 16, 12:15am

I pay plenty

Blue2thebone

May 16, 12:26am

Not enough to keep us from getting outbid by other schools.

ochobeeguy

May 16, 8:51am

This is absolutely correct

Blue2thebone

Such an incorrect post.

I’m sorry, but your post doesn’t exactly make sense in context of replying to the post you did

Blue2thebone

May 16, 1:20am

What you just described is called the power of differentiation, which is way different than “truckloads of money”

Hall said directly on BYUSN that BYU took care of him. Knell said directly on

In the future schools may start to trade with other schools. Like pros.

Dallin Hall said it was competitive. I think i'll take his word.
