the same righteous indignation? All insurance companies and most sales organizations follow the same business model as network marketing companies. Uplines, downlines, contact friends and family, recruit agents to become a manager, etc.

Barf. Wish we had better (non-MLM) corporate partners. This is conflicting.

TCuz

Gimme the new and don’t care who sponsored. Gotta compete.

Turnpike Lane

The program needs money and the video boards are an upgrade.

TCuz

4/7/21 8:44am

So virtuous. So moral. Preach.

I could care less. It's not my money.

Glad you care a little

I think you meant, I’m glad you care a lot

Get over it. Just enjoy the games.

Indy Coug

4/7/21 8:43am

You're ungrateful, to say the least. NuSkin has done a lot for the fans.

Eggguy

4/7/21 8:44am

Sure. I’ll take their dirty money. But they suck.

TCuz

4/7/21 8:45am

They don't suck yes some of their distributors do that is the nature of MLM sadly, but Nu Skin is a great company

crimedog

4/7/21 8:46am

I’m sure they do lots of good with their dirty, MLM money. Thrilled for them.

TCuz

4/7/21 8:48am

Get a clue - it’s a complete scam. Many families lose a lot of money in

CrimsonCoug81

4/7/21 8:49am

I do have a clue, and yes I know that and it is always someone looking to get rich quick

crimedog

4/7/21 8:53am

Your comparable is people opening up a non MLM business and failing? That’s way

CrimsonCoug81

4/7/21 8:55am

That’s a horrible comparison.

TCuz

4/7/21 8:55am

Most MLMs Are Not a Scams

coventry94

4/7/21 9:52am

Not illegal. Definitely immoral and make money off of scamming new distributors, 99%+ of whom will make less

TCuz

4/7/21 10:00am

If only it were possible to have a line of skin care products without that

Charles Darwin

4/7/21 8:52am

Nu Skin sells products. If you don't like the 'direct distribution' then don't

Benfica1

4/7/21 8:54am

NuSkin’s model sells distributors sign-ups with 99.5% making less than minimum wage.

TCuz

4/7/21 9:00am

Um, don't sign up. I never have.

Benfica1

4/7/21 9:26am

Clearly I won’t. Sadly, many others fall for their scam.

Couldn’t the same be said for those who scam the elderly? Don’t send them money!

Charles Darwin

4/7/21 9:43am

Very dumb post. One is legal and the other isn't.

Benfica1

4/7/21 10:59am

But all you have to do is not send them money and you won’t be a victim

Charles Darwin

4/7/21 10:59am

As far as MLMs are concerned I'm not a fan and have never recommended them. Also

Benfica1

4/7/21 11:10am

It’s the people who are told they will change there life selling MLM products

Charles Darwin

4/7/21 11:13am

Clearly you are trying to come off as an expert and you are not. Nu Skin does

Cougarlehi

4/7/21 1:41pm

I definitely understand that their MLM distribution model is scummy. Glad they can get rid of it, then

TCuz

4/7/21 1:50pm

Great company that's been in legal trouble multiple times in multiple countries

Fargo

4/7/21 11:44am

NuSkin is such a great company that they keep getting hit with massive fines

krindorr

4/7/21 7:43pm

Nothing wrong with NuSkin. There are way way worse companies out there for you

CougarTailDevourer

4/7/21 8:48am

You don't know anything about NuSkin

Eggguy

4/7/21 9:01am

I won’t comment on any people specifically. I think it is a dirty company and would not work for them.

TCuz

4/7/21 9:14am

Just because he's a seventy doesn't mean a thing. You are naive.

Fargo

4/7/21 11:47am

I'm not a big fan of the MLM model in general--but Nu Skin is a wonderful

Coug-de-Lyon

4/7/21 9:42am

Nuskin has been an outstanding partner to BYU for many years.

TempeCoug

4/7/21 8:48am

Nuskin has in fact had legal troubles and settled them. More than once.

Fargo

4/7/21 11:48am

Every company known to man has legal troubles. That is why they all have

Look, I personally don’t like MLMs

BlackBart

That’s probably true. And like I said, I’d take the money anyway. BYU needs it.

There are lots of Utahns on this board. Of course many will defend MLMs because

airwolf

4/7/21 9:55am

The difference is, insurance companies don't require their agents to purchase

ebv

4/7/21 10:27am

True, but as I tell all my agents, can you sell life insurance if you don't own

airwolf

4/7/21 10:32am

I can agree with that. Most people in sales are on par with Nuskin

Charles Darwin

4/7/21 10:41am

Actually most people in sales are not nearly as successful as NuSkin. It is the

That is a great sales pitch. I hope for your sake you really believe every word.

Charles Darwin

If you knew me you would know that serving people is what is important, in fact

airwolf

Neither does Nu Skin. You can participate fully without using any product

I was told MLM stands for Mormons Lives Matter 🙂

I hope this doesn't mean just bigger ads on the sides

inertiaman

4/7/21 8:44am

So confirmation is really just a new advisement video board?

SpiffCoug

4/7/21 8:44am

“Upgraded sound system” as well. Which, if it really is a substantial upgrade,

Junior Deputy

4/7/21 8:46am

Our season tickets are in the North stands and it's way too loud at times.

jreid191

4/7/21 8:48am

We're in the north, too, and the sound is so loud. I wish they'd move the speakers back to the east stands

BlueBlood

4/7/21 8:50am

This is interesting, didn’t know that the sound is unbalanced in the stadium

Junior Deputy

4/7/21 8:56am

It's because there aren't any speakers in the SEZ. Let's get it right this time

Captain Rex

4/7/21 9:04am

They let some out of control audiophile design it to reduce interference

Charles Darwin

4/7/21 11:17am

How so? The shots they showed had plenty of full screen action

YIsForBrigham

4/7/21 8:46am

Two new video boards and video banners as well as the sound system.

Yiowa

4/7/21 8:47am

Should've gone bigger.

byubyu

4/7/21 8:45am

The new SEZ screen will be way bigger than the previous one.

Kavorka

4/7/21 8:47am

The board will already be the 8th largest in the country

chago04

4/7/21 8:48am

Is there a list of the largest videoboards in CFB?

BYUHgrad

4/7/21 12:19pm

BYU should have just allowed Nuskin to put in the video boards they originally wanted when they were last updated...

Coug

4/7/21 8:48am

Criddle said he’s hearing rumors they’re renovating the locker room

YIsForBrigham

4/7/21 8:51am

It shouldn't be a renovation... it should be a complete redo...

Coug

4/7/21 8:54am

Maybe. But the definition of renovation is large enough to include a complete overhaul

YIsForBrigham

4/7/21 8:56am

We are talking about BYU here and their definition of renovation... not Chip and Joanna definition.

Coug

4/7/21 8:58am

I heard both at LES are getting huge overhauls. Part of the master plan for LES. And the player lounge in the SAB.

runnincoug

Didn’t they just upgrade these within the last few years?

runitup590

4/7/21 8:50am

So weird that we have to say that no athletic or BYU funds were used for this

kotacoug

4/7/21 8:51am

I don't think it's about sacred funds as much as Holmoe was begging for money

runnincoug

Yep, this. They laid off a bunch of people, which is what the All In campaign was all about trying to prevent.
