Longseason

Hahaha no worries it is a simple answer.

ThugMormon

Mar 26, 2:24pm

My understanding is that if you include the value of things like the Tesla deals, it's much higher than 90%

Why does he talk about Pacific Horizon Bank getting him low interest rate then?

Coug Connect and fans do all that for them and a day later they dump BYU

Well said-this is the reality of college sports right now.

Sad but true. I struggle with the pervasive greed in D1 athletics.

Les IsMore

I get the frustration. Do you tip at restaurants?

To be fair, if I were building the system from ground-up, I absolutely wouldn't make tipping at restaurants a thing
