And what is BYU doing with all that HUGE cash? We know they're not paying market salaries to attract coaches because

they will not get in an arms race and it's unseemly to throw big money at something "worldly" as college football.

So what exactly is this GINORMOUS ESPN contract providing us as BYU football fans? Other than nearly a decade of less than great football.

Couldn’t agree more with Brett McMurphy.

It’s definitely something to listen to and seriously consider.

Brett McMurphy has always been biased against BYU

He was comparing BYUs current contract to the AACs new contract and stating how

That proved just how idiotic his opinions relative to BYU are.

6/26/19 6:47am

I would call his opinions "uninformed" regarding BYU, rather than idiotic

I’ve never liked Brett McMurphy and I’ve noticed he’s had a BYU bias.

The AAC's new contract, which may be renegotiated with UConn's departure

I think they are listening- but there are big problems with it IMO.

Boy, the bar is so low now.

Joining the AAC would be done specifically to lower the bar.

good points here

6/26/19 11:24am

So is McMurphy the reason we are talking about the AAC?

Yes. His "uninformed" views have raised the level of moronic takes on this board

I don't disagree with any of that, foof.

Better library and student housing? BYU May be the only school that spends athletic revenue in non athletics areas

Kalani and Grimes are getting fair market value. They are not underpaid.

Let's say Dabo Swinney converts (to satisfy the dumb coaching rule) and says to BYU - "I want to be your head football

Yes. But it completely depends on if the coaches Circle (or whatever they're called) can make up the difference.

Ok

Not from the salary the school is providing. Their "market rate" pay is coming from the mega donors.

6/26/19 12:49pm

So if BYU doesn't use the money wisely we should just get rid of it?

mudpupper

6/26/19 8:34am

If it isn't used wisely, should it even be mentioned when trying to determine which route is a better one to take?

6/26/19 8:39am

You honestly think McMurphy is putting his reputation on the line with bogus numbers?

6/26/19 12:47pm

Dude compared the current AAC media deal to our old media deal...
