Yeah dude it's not that serious first off.

Second, the Admin cannot look like a heavy hitter my guy. So of course we are going to say the wealthiest donor and NBA owner wasn't involved and the 30m salary was inaccurate because BYU is paying it all. It's just to save face. It's not anti-BYU. I'm a 4th generation Alumni and would go to war for the university. It's just the truth.

KY contract overstated by the media, not $30mm

Dr T-bone

Apr 23, 8:08am

Lol. I'd believe it's closer to 30m. It was leaked by reputable sources.

Rubbish. That's blind - BYU's administration did no such thing

Do you think BYU has never spun or lied about anything? Remember when there was

It's not. But okay.

BYU's goal with the statement was to downplay the salary, it is not at all an

Interesting. I never thought byu would straight up lie. Kind of weird

No demand for caffeinated coke?

Very great point. A straight up lie lol

You're basically calling BYU Academic VP Kevin Vorkink a liar -

It's also just plain wrong that they don't use outside doors to pay coaches. We

I think both the article and the $30M are likely both correct. BYU is directly

Excatly and the whole point of the statement was to downplay that salary. Seens

Good question. Why do you come here?

Apr 23, 2:34pm

I doubt it was leaked by BYU's side. Probably KY's agent.

100% the money and sources are accurate.

Exhibit A of "If one believe a falsehood enough, it becomes true to them"

That’s just the definition of belief. Independent of truth, you BELIEVE it.

But the issue wasn't whether he was getting a good deal but if it was 5m

They are referring to what BYU is paying. There has been a coaches circle and

Damage control portion of the article. Didn’t make any sense to include that.

BGRTHNUMEGO

It is better for people to think it is a big number right?

Baron

Apr 23, 8:12am

Not in BYU’s world. Way too many frustrated professors, members, Ute fans, etc

BGRTHNUMEGO

Apr 23, 8:13am

Which means that as a BYU fan you should accept your fate of never actually having enough support to reach your full

Baron

Apr 23, 8:14am

If I knew any Utah fans, I would tell them BYU is paying him $25M per year

Gustav

The church (rightfully) does not want to show an image of being big spenders

BYUCLA

Apr 23, 8:15am

That does not make any sense at all. Paying market wages for a job that brings in well in excess of that is showing

Baron

Apr 23, 8:18am

Agree 💯

JohnnyC

Agreed for market wages. But this seemed well above market wages

The Church often invests very well. Agreed

It’s always been 2 million no one said more. It’s published data

Apr 23, 8:49am

You may be right, church is super secret around salaries

Dr T-bone

Apr 23, 9:59am

We know KY was making $2M per year in the NBA so imagine he got a healthy bump

NorCal_Coug

Apr 23, 8:12am

It has to be in the range of $4M per year. He was up for $5.5M per year NBA HC

Schultz is back

I don’t pretend to know anything other than he got a healthy bump….

NBA people were involved, so it got leaked, let’s get some comments out there so people don’t focus on the money

BYU pay is one part of total compensation. Donars make significant contributions to overall compensation for head

Don't forget unlimited free conference tickets and kids get FSY every year free.

notaboy

Apr 23, 10:29am

Exactly the article is accurate and the $30M is true. Easy to manipulate words

NYC and Japan

Apr 23, 10:39am

My reputable source says $11M per year

Croweater

I heard it from BYU Pres. that we should not believe the number reported.

Whatever the amount it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the somewhere 100-200
