My gosh. You’re taking all our favorite guys.
Micah Simon’s best highlight as a Cougar v Tennessee.

byufan started the topic On BYU and NIL. Updates with the AJ Dybantsa news and some specific information in the forum Basketball (Men) 2 weeks, 1 day ago
A lot has been said about and NIL for BYU (MBB specifically). Some unsolicited thoughts and actual information from a BYU fan:
– Ryan isn’t putting up all or even most of the money for MBB. He has, however, gotten long dormant wealthy families engaged in BYU athletics in a major way for the first time ever. (Trust me on this).
– AJ’s total…[Read more]

Jason Beck is a true blue BYU guy. Loves Bronco, who we all know hates Whit…who hates Bronco right back. Beck has followed Bronco for most of his career. Then goes to Utah as OC under Whit.
Bronco is a former BYU HC and Becks coach and mentor. Goes to Utah State as HC…on the same day his OC goes to Utah as OC.
That’s not even mentioning LaVel…[Read more]

Ute fans with PAC 12 tattoos and car wraps 😉
There is a guy in my area in my neighborhood in Herriman with a Dodge Charger wrapped in a Ute logo and a massive PAC 12 logo. I always chuckle

It is weird to me that your attendance is so low. It’s not like you’ve been awful (like BYU in the late 90s when we had multiple seasons under 10 wins). It does feel like you need one amazing season to turn it around.

We filled the Marriott Center for 12 years in the WCC, spare me that argument.
And as far as NIL…your QB1 this year made more than any single BYU athlete has or does.

I agree. There’s a level of physicality in the Big 12 that simply isn’t allowed in the NBA. It’ll be interesting.

I think you’ll be fine in the Big 12. It won’t be pretty some nights, but it won’t be as apocalyptic as people thought.
BYU has been okay, but some of the NBA defensive principles aren’t working great. There will be some growing pains (particularly on defense) this year in Provo. I think Kansas wins the league by 2-3 games. They’re an elite…[Read more]

Well that’s a giant question regarding the Church and their operations at-large.
But, I would say…Jesus isn’t paying AJ Dybantsa. Boosters are.

You beat us last year. I was at Huntsman for that game.
BTW, Pres Randall came around and shook every BYU fan’s hand he could find. Good gesture.

I’m with you on the overall take about NIL. It’s ruining/changing college sports. But again, Ute fans loved it when Ken Garff showed up with new Dodge Rams.
And I will say, it is a bit disorienting for BYU fans who are used to our AD being SO cheap–like famously cheap–to suddenly have endless resources (and btw it isn’t just Ryan, it’s several…[Read more]

I’ve had that thought. My understanding is he can’t have much direct contact with prospects due to his ownership status, but IDK. All of this stuff for every school is done through 3rd parties anyway, so it may not matter.

Big 12 basketball is completely insane. It’s fun, but literally every game is losable in conference. I was convinced that we’d win like 2 conference games last year. Godspeed. Big 12 basketball is a different beast.

A lot has been said about and NIL for BYU (MBB specifically). Some unsolicited thoughts from a BYU fan:
– It’s odd to the BYU fanbase that Utah fans seem so annoyed by the NIL amounts and Ryan Smith specifically. BYU has historically and infamously been insanely cheap (there are famous stories of equipment guys not giving players new socks when…[Read more]

BYU fan here…
I watched the ASU game. I legit don’t know what Whit was thinking. Rising couldn’t move..that was BEFORE he got rolled up on. I have no idea why they didn’t go to Wilson. He’s been goodish. But Rising was unplayable. Truly one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen.
One more thought…I honestly think there was some hubris by…[Read more]
