Money is a major factor

BYU is special

This is what I’m talking about. CB needs to focus on what BYU can offer that players can’t get elsewhere.

That is all true. If someone offered my son $300k, I'm telling him to take it.

And if the team he already has a position at matches it, I tell him to stay put.

For sure. The delta would be the measure.

Why so you could buy a crap townhome?

Did you turn down 300k to magnify your calling?

Yeah. If I’m making 100k at BYU and someone offers 300 I’m out.

Stop it! You don’t know that BYU isn’t offering $300k either. Why assume they aren’t?

I’m not implying any definitive number. I am saying we can’t judge a kid

The OP used the words “getting more money”
JoeExotic

They followed it by saying there’s more to success than that in the long run too.

I agree with that and actually agree with most of what was in the OP.

I’m not sure what you are so riled up about.
JoeExotic

Whatever you say defender of the tone.

But that wasn’t what the OP said at all.

The money still matters. “Special” doesn’t change that.
