Re: KAR: BYU's New Head Coach
can we have byu topics in the general sports forum and aggie topics in the aggie sports forum? We don't play BYU in basketball anymore.

Re: KAR: BYU's New Head Coach
Every once in a while there is the opinion that there are a few closet zoobers on this forum. After the last few days I'm starting to think that might be true.

I get you on this. I am talking about from only transfer portal and recruiting side of things, and our closet BYU fans blew a gasket over it then went supernova.

I pointed this out years ago. Notice how some "Aggie fans" get to bashing everything Aggies when you talk about BYU in certain ways.

Not exactly. Reportedly, we had reached out to Pope when Sprinkle left to see if he was interested. If their new coach was making 2M in the NBA, they would have had to sweeten the deal. It gives us an idea of where we may need to be when we start looking for a new coach next year.

Re: KAR: BYU's New Head Coach
Man, I totally get what everyone is complaining about. People who start new threads really need to work on their subject titles. I came into this thread thinking I would find out about Calhoun, and all of our new recruits. Instead, I was tricked and manipulated into readying about BYU's new head coach. Why didn't the original poster put in the subject line something more like, "BYU's New Head Coach" as the title instead of something that logically made me think it was about Calhoun and our recruits? People who play these tricks on an Aggie board are just sick and twisted!

Re: KAR: BYU's New Head Coach
I never read the general forum, and am glad this thread is here in the basketball forum... yes, it's not directly related to us, but they are still an in-state school that we compete with for recruits. The divide is getting greater every year tbh and BYU opened up their wallets for this guy. I hope it's a failed experiment, but having BYU pay big-program salaries is really something I didn't see coming.WasatchAggie wrote: ↑April 16th, 2024, 12:21 pm^^^^Winning Team wrote: ↑April 16th, 2024, 11:05 amPlease move it mods.

In the past ten years (I would say 5 years but I might get accused of cherry picking) we have had:
More NCAA tournament appearences.
More NCAA tournament wins.
More NBA draft picks.
More finishes in the top 25.
More conference championships.
But yeah, you keep telling me how BYU is a better program.

Re: KAR: BYU's New Head Coach
I think there isn’t much of a competitive divide, but there is a financial divide that appears to be getting bigger. But then again, maybe it’s not so big, just inflated on both sides. It’s probably fairly proportional to how it’s always been. Hopefully this dude fails miserably. Assistant NBA coaches don’t necessarily make good college coaches, see Jim Boylen. BYU could have had almost anyone with that amount of money. Hopefully they wasted it.LarryTheAggie wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 8:24 pmIs the divide getting bigger?UStater wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 8:12 pmI never read the general forum, and am glad this thread is here in the basketball forum... yes, it's not directly related to us, but they are still an in-state school that we compete with for recruits.

Also, I’ll be shocked if they sniff the tournament next year. Their coach is way behind on recruiting and won’t be starting until his team is done in the playoffs…

Re: KAR: BYU's New Head Coach
The financial divide is getting way bigger...BYU used to say they needed to be financially responsible with their sacred funds, and that sentiment went out the window with this hire...I'm not judging...it's not my money to spend, but they ate entering a new era for BYU sports that might keep them playing with the big boysLarryTheAggie wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 8:24 pmIs the divide getting bigger?UStater wrote: ↑April 17th, 2024, 8:12 pmI never read the general forum, and am glad this thread is here in the basketball forum... yes, it's not directly related to us, but they are still an in-state school that we compete with for recruits.

Re: KAR: BYU's New Head Coach
I bet they are just using that rich guys money. Have they ever disclosed how much of the widows mite goes to sports? This was most likely outside money so they don't look bad spending gift money.

as someone who is not Mormon.... you are speaking in a foreign language I feel like I should understand widows mite (maybe a bible reference?) and isn't all their money donated I don't mean this as a religious debate or anything like that, ...or even saying they should not spend this money on a coach, just trying to understand more context... heck, If I had a religion... I would spend lots of that money on a good coach

- The widow's mite refers to a bible story about a widow giving a tiny amount of money that was 100% of what she had being compared to rich men who gave large amounts of money that was a small percentage of what they had.
- The LDS church collects tithing and sometimes leaders give talks about trying to be careful with how they use tithing funds, comparing them to the widow's mite in importance to the donors that paid the tithing. Many others have taken to referring to all tithing funds as the widow's mite.
- BYU is sponsored by the LDS church, and many of BYU's expenses are paid for with tithing funds in addition to donations, tuition expenses, etc that are collected directly by BYU.
- Many people have discussed what amount of BYU's expenses, especially sports-related expenses, are paid by tithing money from the church versus donor money given directly to BYU separate from tithing.
- As a private institution, BYU does not have to disclose where money comes from or goes to, but there are sometimes claims made that a large portion, if not all, of the sports-related expenses are covered by sports donations and related income collected directly by BYU. Others claim that a large portion is paid from from tithing money from the church (that many people wish they could specify to NOT be sent to BYU but used for other purposes instead, but that has not been possible so far). These claims tend to support whatever opinions those making them have of the LDS church and BYU.

So thinking about this, a guy that rich, if he donate's to BYU (or any University), it is considered a charitable donation and a tax write-off, correct?
I mean, the guy is probably just donating the money instead of using it for paying taxes, correct?

Lesson Learned: You need to get a billionaire that is passionate about your University and its athletics.
SEE:
Oregon - Phil Knight (they were equal to Oregon State and Washington State before Phil Knight)
OK State -- T Boone Pickens. Donated a lot before he died
Houston -- Tilman Fertitta
probably other out there that I can't think of or don't know

They desperately want to "belong" and be "accepted", and they will leap at the opportunity to have a professional sports team, including footing part of the bill.
