why the optics would be poor. Its just anteing up.

It would be a problem if the money put the BBall team upside down money wise, which I don't think should become an issue (especially if he grows revenue by winning like he is.)

Couldn't he pay Pope to speak annually at the company for $$$$, to get around

Seems like a good idea, but I think both BYU and the NCAA

I'm pretty sure NCAA coaches can receive speaking fees and endorsement fees.

It's not like paying players. Boosters can contribute to coach's salaries

They already pay $1M+. Paying $2M is not going to suddenly be too much.

BYU is super blessed to have a booster with those kind of means

Will be interesting to see if BYU will let him spend it for that purpose.

Question: will Ryan pony up like Phil Night from Nike? BYU fans are frugal

This isn't about boosters and donations. It's about BYU not being too snobby

Utah and Boise State are not as terrible as we might think. Sure, not fun to

False. Utah could be undefeated and they would still be terrible.

Smith also addressed fans with your attitude in his interview

He seems like a great dude, but he wears those stupid flat-brimmed hats.

He doesn't need to impress anybody but himself.

I didn’t hear anything that convinces me Pope wouldn’t leave for more $

Some people are motivated by things other than money. I know many people who
