Holy crap. We are going to get smoked in this war.

This is exactly why it should never had been allowed in the first place

byuguns55

12/7/21 12:47pm

Yeah, its not like they didn't for decades and the Supreme Court ruled against

Sircumference

12/7/21 2:00pm

It's not that athletes are profiting but

pappabear246

12/7/21 4:24pm

That's kind of inherent in it though...Example: Built Bar already published that "if you go to BYU" we'll give you $1k

krindorr

The original purpose of the NIL as Supreme Court ruled

pappabear246

12/7/21 5:41pm

But we’ll be fine among our class (mid level P5s). NIL is a good thing and will be

DieHarder

12/7/21 12:47pm

The next step will be the NCAA requiring schools to show value with NIL deals. As they should.

What determines market value if not the market? And absolutely no way the NCAA gets involved

krindorr

12/7/21 1:02pm

What is the NCAA going to do? Force private companies to open their books?

rad dawg

12/7/21 1:53pm

And after about a 30 second search reporting deals to your school is optional

rad dawg

12/7/21 1:59pm

Speaking of tax returns, I hope these athletes

pappabear246

Gonna spin out of control VERY quickly.

BoiseBlueCoug

Just wait until union lawyers try to get involved

thewaterboy

12/7/21 12:51pm

I wonder how many Ricky Williams and Arian Foster's this will produce

rocklincoug

12/7/21 12:48pm

We don't get those players anyway.

Ted Lasso

12/7/21 12:48pm

That QB from Ohio State that just flipped to Texas sat on the bench and made

AF_Puma

12/7/21 12:49pm

I think that is who the OP is about right?

BYUfan92

12/7/21 3:25pm

You're right. I didn't remember his name and quote sounded like "if" he went to

AF_Puma

12/7/21 9:28pm

I was just trying to remember which schools that involved so thanks

pappabear246

12/7/21 5:43pm

And all we could get Kingsley was a sponsorship from an unknown solar company?

Schultz is back

12/7/21 12:49pm

This was always inevitable. We will never compete with Texas in booster money

Hotlanta

12/7/21 12:57pm

That's ok, as soon as I win the lottery BYU

pappabear246

12/7/21 5:44pm

So basically the schools can’t pay the athletes, but the boosters can. I guess

kmcougar

12/7/21 12:49pm

That is exactly what will happen. They no longer have to hide in the bushes.

AF_Puma

12/7/21 12:54pm

That's because no rules were set in place

pappabear246

12/7/21 5:46pm

Who's going to set rules? NIL finally came into being because the Supreme Court

Megamind

12/7/21 7:50pm

I am under the impression that

pappabear246

12/7/21 8:42pm

They can’t regulate the athletes ability to make money

Call it what you want

Charles Darwin

12/7/21 9:09pm

A vaguely stated opinion? I dare you to come up with one rule that would

Megamind

12/7/21 9:14pm

If that is the case, I worry about the future

pappabear246

12/7/21 9:20pm

Here's the reason the NCAA isn't going to provide any limitations or oversight: Treble damages

krindorr

12/8/21 6:10am

In the end we will be better off. We already did not compete with Texas.

Baron

12/7/21 12:49pm

Nobody sees this point but its very relevant.

rad dawg

12/7/21 12:54pm

Personally I think its dumb to invest so much into unproven talent

Avery

12/7/21 12:50pm

Especially after he transfers again. Boosters will figure it out. NIL should be spread more evenly, and to known talent

Turnpike Lane

12/7/21 12:51pm

You guys don't honestly think these deals aren't contingent on performance, do

Megamind

12/7/21 8:04pm

When Texas pays him 10M and he doesn't get drafted (Rattler) will others follow?

ochobeeguy

12/7/21 12:52pm

This kid sounds like a great teammate

thewaterboy

12/7/21 12:52pm

BYU fans:

Mountain Rat

12/7/21 12:52pm

Didn’t he already get $1mm from Ohio state? He probably asked for more, didn’t get it, so now he’s transferring to get

RdF3

12/7/21 12:53pm

He got 1mil from a marketing firm not tied to Ohio state.

BYUheaven

12/7/21 2:34pm

Meh, it’s not like he was coming to BYU anyway. And as time goes by I think boosters will realize the ROI for that kind

Odysseus

12/7/21 12:53pm

This. Boosters either spend money on facilities or busts.

jrifkin48

12/7/21 12:55pm

We were never going to get those kind of guys anyways.

Nuke

Things haven't really changed. The big blue bloods will continue to get the big

LiveCoug

Correction: we are already smoking Utah in this war

elderyoda

12/7/21 1:08pm

It will play itself out. Once companies lose big money on kids who don't pan

Romex

12/7/21 1:17pm

Phil Knight has net worth of $62B. That means he gets $3B/yr just in interest

krindorr

12/7/21 1:28pm

That’s fine, doesn’t mean they pan out, they still are limited to # of spots

Romex

12/7/21 1:31pm

True...unless someone sets a precedent to pay walk-ons too

krindorr

12/7/21 1:43pm

Not all his money is earning interest, I am sure much of his net worth is Nike Stock

JOPE

12/8/21 10:26am

Yeah, but the value of Nike stock goes up 20+% each year so he's actually getting more passive income the more he has

krindorr

12/8/21 10:48am

No we wont. Texas and dozen or so others have the fanbases to run wild, but BYU

Thrill

12/7/21 1:28pm

People said that same thing when NIL was announced, and look at where we are. BYU has set the trends

Bob Vance

12/7/21 1:43pm

Each team regardless of resources can only field 11 players at a time

fatcracker

12/7/21 1:48pm

That's why you see all the NFL backups leave and join the CFL or other leagues right? More playing time, less $

krindorr

12/7/21 2:15pm

Most college players hope to play in the NFL and know they have to play

fatcracker

12/7/21 2:26pm

Not really. You’ll see the talented players flow from lesses programs into

Bluedomination

I won't pay money to watch a million-dollar salaried college athlete, EVER

I’ve contended this would be a huge problem for BYU competing nationally

jpal1397

12/7/21 2:54pm

They have always been getting more money to go to these schools than BYU was

Charles Darwin

College sports are now pro sports

wilsdad

The market will adjust. If guys like this flop, the money will slow down.

Getting high quality ***, **** and occasional ***** >> 1 or 2 top recruits.
