BYU is special

temosabe

7:32pm

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.

Madam Pattirini

7:37pm

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

Soupie

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

Don Carlton

7:44pm

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

Soupie

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

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