Two main impediments for top level performance:

1) Budget; and
2) hcOffice.

Modify both of those and BYU has enough drive to improve.

How elite would BYU sports department be with a $250M Annual budget?

So basically we’d be on even footing after the $50M worth of bribes to the HC office.

The honor code is the hold up. BYU would be significantly better with current budget if the HC went away

This.

A huge budget alone would help but as Texas shows

I think the drastically diminishing returns for BYU would kick in well before we got to $250M

Neither of these matters as much as the limited pool of recruitable athletes.

5/23/22 2:40pm

Isn't a large limiting factor to the pool in fact the HC and the HC office?

I don't think so.

5/23/22 3:12pm

Like ND, TCU, Baylor, SMU?

I had no idea ND taught Book of Mormon. That's cool.

5/23/22 3:31pm

As I stated "religious classes"...

BYUFam1

5/23/22 3:39pm

That's my point. Big difference between religious in general, and LDS.

5/23/22 3:44pm

Can't imagine a top recruit saying "no thanks Alabama I don't want to take that

A friend graduated from ND. While each dorm had an assigned priest, in between

Fine if BYU were willing to pay for players

This is where I am. likely a top 20 program, but never elite

BYU is one of the most efficient AD's in the country in terms of performance/$$

As others have said- the honor code is an issue- in the 80s the honor

Crowton came in and tried to do that. In today's world, the 80s attitude doesn't

5/23/22 3:24pm

Tried to get over the hump?

Exactly.

5/23/22 3:56pm

Well, it can't be forced.

CFP in 5 years if NIL. If BYU AD gets the money then it doesn't do much.

Which schools WOULDN'T be elite if they had a budget 25% more than anyone else

krindorr

5/23/22 7:52pm

They should keep some kind of honor code, but not the current one.

Colossal waste of money. Law of diminishing returns. No different than a 10-15

GeorgeAlbertsgoatie

Does ANY school have a $250M annual budget? Surely that is "no".
