I don't begrudge them the chance to make more money

But I think a lot of us maybe have an idealized view of an athlete coming here because it's BYU, not because it's a way to make money, any school could offer that. It might not be fair to expect some one to put ideology and religion over wanting to make as much money as possible but it's not such a crazy concept.

Then let’s do what we can to let them know there are good reasons to stay.

You mean the generation before NIL?

I hardly ever know the ages but it seems to me the younger gen is doing most of the crapping I have better things to do.

Do CBers do this? Disappointment leaving is fine. Personal attacks are not.

It kind of is. How many professionals get tuition reimbursement from their employees in order to continue to develop?

Entering the portal tells me you don’t want to be here

Yet a free college education isn't enough for these athletes.

Yeah, going forward. It’s good to remember that an announcement that the portal is happening doesn’t mean it’s happening
