have passed up big financial opportunities for other personal interests. Family considerations, location, work environment, etc. Not sure what drives Coach Pope. None of us do. He may or may not jump at the first big money offer. Time will tell.

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

You sound Russian so I don’t think I’ll trust your opinion on envelopes of cash.

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.

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

He doesn't need to impress anybody but himself.
