BYU to sign the #1 player in the country for 7 million, assume that's just for his 1 season in Provo
the Mormons just raised the bar
- Thread starter kurt cloverdales
- Start date
hard to say, adding the best player in the country should make them better. and give them a ton of exposure.
Juan Soto just signed a $765 million contract for 15 years with the Mets. .285 career hitter. The world has truly gone mad. Freaking .285 hitter!!
NIL is going to really go crazy.
Damn. The old one year NIL record was probably $2.5M or something like that. This is about 3x that. I guess we’ll see if he is worth it… still a team game.
Lots of money in religion. Buy your way into heaven.

We all grew up in the wrong era! If I had these NIL opportunities 25 years ago, I woulda tried to make any kind of sport! Now ima probly have to work til I’m either 90 or dead!
Why not put that money in your farm system?
In American Legion BB I had a high batting average and could hit for power. My dream of a MLB contract died the night we played a team from Sullivan or Terre Haute. Too long ago I am not sure. Charlie Noble was the pitcher and had signed with the Reds. There were a few scouts there. I batted leadoff and hit for the cycle that night. The scouts told my coach I was too slow. They told him they could teach kids to field and hit but not run. My bubble was burst and I started thinking about what I wanted to study in college. 😂
