Ryan Smith's words to the BYU football team before the season...

Hopefully he puts his money where his mouth is.

Pimpin4Paradise

Pretty sure he just did--- with the Jazz.

Soupie

But that’s not BYU.

LyleLanley

10/28/20 10:17am

Bingo!

Soupie

10/28/20 10:17am

He already has. He's BYU's biggest donor.

And remember, his dad and bro are worth Billions too, and BYU guys. That family helps BYU a lot.

I don't think his brother is much of a BYU guy. He never attended BYU anyway.

Stuart Orgill, the other co-founder, is a BYU guy I believe.

Stuart did graduate from BYU in accounting and is a good dude.

He's tried, along with other big donors but...

This is completely false.

It’s true

LyleLanley

I sure hope that it's false

That reason by itself

I just don't understand how this is true. Can you expound? When I donate I can and have directed the money to go

HarlemCoug

10/28/20 12:00pm

It a myth. Can you imagine BYU saying we will not accept your money unless you

Big Daddy D

They actually do that. See my explanation below.

ImBlueDaBaDe

10/28/20 1:27pm

I’m not talking about more modest contributions. I’m referring to large sums

Big Daddy D

10/28/20 11:04pm

small donations can say they want to be just for football too. all donations are allowed to be specially allocated to

HarlemCoug

10/29/20 10:18am

I testify that this is true, and very frustrating. You can donate wherever you want but if you give straight to football

ImBlueDaBaDe

10/28/20 1:16pm

this is inaccurate.. I'll DM you..

HarlemCoug

10/28/20 2:21pm

Reality is this true at most universities they just don’t tel you. Money is

cougarfann888

10/29/20 10:55am

one step in that direction would be allowing mega (potential) donors like him

Hope a tie with the Jazz and NIL helps with BYU recruiting

rmreitz

Maybe he could just fund a big dollar bowl game and

dfudge

He graduated recently

califcougar

Wow! Good to hear he's a big Y donor too.

I think he still donates to UH.

AntiSNOT

10/28/20 12:16pm

and Arte Moreno is still Arizona's biggest booster

molodyets

That's okay

southprovocougar

Pretty sure Jerry Jones is a big Razorbacks booster

califcougar

He still donates.

LyleLanley

Can he grant our backup QBs "scholarships" to 3DQB without breaking ncaa rules?

Great38

10/28/20 2:36pm

Maybe he can clean up the Yewt and Aggie love on the Jazz flagship station

airwolf

When and why did he say that?
