donors would like for their donations to do, and what the admin will actually allow for. And if that misalignment doesn’t improve in the next year or two, we will fall behind in NIL prowess. There has to be change for us to compete in the future.

tidbits from former star player from last year...

I seriously doubt Salt Lake told him to tone it down.

I can see Kalani making a joke during a team meeting

Or the guys wanting him to dance and him not feeling it so he said that to get them to stop begging him. As a dad, I am

I’ve always been able to designate the sport or athletic dept fund. None of it goes to the university general fund.

There's a disclaimer that says the donation is church property and will be used

The fine print says the money may not be used as you designated it.

Really, this sounds exactly like salt lake

Nearly every day we learn of something else that Lamb “ran”. So again I question — what does Kalani do exactly?

Or he’s the assistant coach

What did Lavell do when he was the HC?

He hired & fired. Clearly met a lot w/ players. The face to fans, media & donors

More of a sacrificial lamb than a scapegoat IMO

stenso

What does Nick Saban do?

Broda

He builds national championship caliber teams year in and out. Without Saban, Alabama is Miami.

Or if Zack just hits Tyler Allgier running all alone down the sideline.

slatecoug

He is the AHC, it makes sense that he oversees many things.

TheLoneCougar

12/4/22 10:40am

Convenient that he oversees nearly every aspect of the program that fans get frustrated by and Kalani conveniently

Zach Morris

12/4/22 10:51am

Kalani isn't Harbaugh, Swinney, Sabin, or Dykes. Stop thinking he is. That isn't his pedigree nor who he is as a person.

TheLoneCougar

12/4/22 9:11pm

Lavell ran his staff similarly. It’s probably where he got it from.

HarlemCoug

It seems like there’s a very simple solution. Take the donation check intended for BYU football and give it to football.
