Cuts out the middleman for NIL deals? Pretty smart if that’s the case.

DieHarder

They are using someone who takes a cut off the top.

Bummer.

Yup, 18%

Go yoke, go broke imho.

I guess I don’t know if that’s a reasonable number or extremely high.

TCuz

8/10/22 4:08pm

I dont know either but, knee jerk reaction is that it seems high to me.

Gunga Galunga

8/10/22 4:16pm

It’s high for hosting, agency or typical NIL work

ThugMormon

8/10/22 5:11pm

It should be tiered. It's low if they don't get many donations. It's REALLY REALLY high if they get a ton of

HarlemCoug

It seems high, but they are running a lot of infrastructure for it

Can’t imagine cougconnect is happy about this.

coug719

8/10/22 3:59pm

They already posted about it

Viva Campeche

CougConnect hasn't posted since June I think

Maybe competition here is a good thing

They're posting on twitter about why they are better.

Baurak Ale

8/10/22 4:07pm

I’d assume that if they were better the entire BYU football team wouldn’t have

I just looked at the Coug Connect website. It is not good..

JuicyJam

8/10/22 4:13pm

if it is anything like its awesome logo, well then

PNC is basically run by an Atlanta company selling the same 'Site' to everybody..

Wow...curious how this impacts teams...playing or not playing could go right to

Fdnman

I can understand why some players decided not to participate.

coolblue

8/10/22 4:35pm

They say their goal is $55,000 a month.. so YOKE takes home $9,900

Funny enough, BYU has multiple groups trying to organize NIL, while Utah has…………nothing.

silentvelcro

8/10/22 4:49pm

But many other programs have NIl collectives

They don't want to play it fast and loose. Good idea to wait a few years.

Is there any reason that CougarBoard shouldn't just do this for free?

Dryfire

8/10/22 5:32pm

CB is partnered with CougConnect to do something similar. See the insider subscription plan.

durandal

8/10/22 5:55pm

Why partner with Cougconnect? The point of doing it directly is that all of the

Dryfire

8/10/22 6:03pm

Actually we're doing it on our own now

El Jefe

8/10/22 6:25pm

I assume that 100% will go to the players then?

Dryfire

8/10/22 6:41pm

Cougar Board is not a non profit.

ParentingNotForSissy

8/10/22 7:43pm

Doesn't mean CB needs to make profit on everything it does.

Dryfire

8/10/22 7:52pm

About 300% currently

El Jefe

Count me in!

Dryfire

Rule #1: if you’re good at something never do it for free.

Built Bar would strongly disagree with this.

Apples and oranges. Built bar is a company using this as advertising. Coug Conne

Isn’t this reverse NIL? We are supposed to hire them—not them solicit us, right?

Dr MoBYU

I’ll support these guys, why not!
