      Well that’s a giant question regarding the Church and their operations at-large. There’s probably a lot of things the Church spends money on that Jesus wouldn’t.

      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 uber-wealthy families that are suddenly hyper-engaged).

      We’ve just been at such a disadvantage to Utah for a decade + (not to mention the Olympic updates to RES), that it does feel good to be on equal footing again.

      Regarding basketball for you all…I wish I had words of encouragement, but…I do not. Bill Self said he thought the conference champion would have 5-7 losses in conference. That’s wild.

      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.

      The level of physicality is unreal.
