It's Almost Like He Has a Lottery Ticket
And BYU Looks Like They are Giving Away Plenty of Winning Tickets
When a 43-year-old former basketball player wishes he still had some college eligibility left it says all we need to know about life changing money. It also hints a little of what BYU is paying out for those lifetime dream dollars.
Watch and Wow!
They didn’t mention BYU, but he is currently on the Cougar (signed and sealed) roster. Just my opinion, but he didn’t come for the scenery. I find irony in the fact that “Bidding” and Brigham both start with a Capital B.
Capital, and plenty of it is also what I call $300,000 to $1,000,000, as mentioned in the video above.
BYU won’t and doesn’t have to say what the collective payout of their roster for next season will be. But if Kennard was reportedly offered a million bucks by some school, other than BYU, then you can do the math and methodology to figure what the cost of having additional roster adds of AJ Debantsa, Rob Wright, Nate Pickens, Dominique Diomande and Tyler Mrus must be.
Now, if we think Richie Saunders isn’t getting what the 5 transfer guys, minus Debantsa, are getting, we are fooling ourselves. It’s a competitive and cold cash market out there, and warm tater tots alone isn’t enough to keep players like Saunders staying home.
Cash also impacts a team’s exposure nationally. BYU basketball isn’t getting big time nationally televised games scheduled this year because of its academic credentials. It’s because of its alumni. Some of whom have nationally relevant cash and have donated some of that cash to the Cougars so the video shown above is now more factual than fiction.
