BYU is special

temosabe

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.

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

Don Carlton

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

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