This is the problem with Utah. We don’t have any big boosters now that can compete with all the other money being thrown around. The only way BYU would be able to double the offer (and I’m not saying they doubled it) would be them getting backing from those that are funding their bball team.

And we won’t be able to compete with any of the other blue-bloods, obviously. Not sure how we are supposed to keep up in this world of NIL without a deep pocket donor/booster.

Already a string on this.

Gotta have depth.

Love the portal guys they have brought in.

My understanding is what Gundy and Norvell did is not funding NIL but rather the schools fund once athlete’s become employees of the university. The money from the coaches goes to that fund to help pay players, facilities, etc.

Whitt should get on board with this.

I saw that Boumeister is taking a visit to Texas. Not sure if they have offered him yet but would assume he is not coming back.

Staff changes

Ganther and Whitted gone.

Micah Simon in at WR coach.

Makes sense. Thanks for the responses.

[highlandute7]

Thanks for the reply but not sure it answers my questions.

To be brief – can players still accept NIL money once they are considered employees of the University?

At this point, any QB we can get on the roster would be a positive.

Is smith and his billionaire friends funding some of these guys now then? I can understand maybe Pepa going there and I could care less about Wilson but if they are coming after a guy like Calhoun, that seems it is all money. Certainly not for a lack of playing time when he should have one of the CB positions shored up. When was the last time 💩💩 put a CB in the league? If he goes there, something is really wrong with where we are at NIL wise and there is no clear fix anywhere on the horizon.
