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%

This actually a really good point. We have even brokered deals with other comp

It's probably OK to take a deep breath and realize...

I have not seen as much criticism on here as you imply. strong words

My only response to your thread is, BYU athletes are getting Tesla's?

Indeed they are. Covered 100% by NIL. Come check it out:

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

Mar 26, 5:45pm

I get the frustration. Do you tip at restaurants?

Zman

Not even close to the same thing, but good try.

Hard to beat your logic of no it is.

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

Can Coug Connect move his mom to Provo?

I'm highly annoyed by the CougConnect clickbait ads, but I agree with this post

TaysomJimmerEraCoug

There's a bit of misinformation going on about that particular post

I figured that was the case since the referral code was generic

I've made a few jokes about CougConnect's inside info on Adams....but definitely as jokes

Adams should forfeit whatever he got paid to play for BYU. $200,00 IIRC
