Does anyone know what happened with Collin Chandler

Was it really an NIL issue. Or did Mark Pope pull some more shady Sh** like he did with our last big time recruit. (Forgot his name)

The claim on twitter is that Ryan Smith (billionaire Jazz owner and known BYU fan) stepped in to help Chandler with NIL deals. 

Of course, take it with a grain of salt since it is twitter, but it does seem to me to be a situation of where there’s smoke there’s a fire.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but technically I thought NIL deals couldn’t be used as inducement for recruiting purposes? Of course, that would be hard to enforce, but appears to be what happened here. It also adds up with the story some Ute people are progating about scholarship issues, since they may not want to admit they couldn’t measure up with a big NIL deal, which hurts recruiting potential enormously. 

Just my two cents. Curious to see what others think.

I respect this completely. In this new world of NIL, schools will need to offer enticing potential earnings products to land players. Does Utah have the rich backers to make this a reality?

Since all of these comments are pure speculation and have no real factual basis I would refrain from making comments like these.  We are dealing with 18 year old kids who could change their mind in a second and then reverse their decision a moment later. Should Chandler have second thoughts this will not help.

When we lose players to a conservative religious school within which students are encouraged to inform on their roommates, ganja is very hard to come by, and classes about the golden plates are required to graduate, I feel obligated to care.

Yes, thumbs down to my opinion. Thank you.
