Regarding Bear and Tiger, I have heard that BYU came with significant NIL dollars in hand to "help" convince them of a move to Ogden.  NIL money is going to be what's needed to dig out of this hole.   As our coaches have stated, we don't need to be the highest offer, but we need to be in the ballpark.  Maxime could have received more money last year, but he valued the Stanford experience/degree and appreciated that we came to the table with something respectable.  We need more quality student athletes like him in this new NIL world.  It should be easier to do in hoops, given the numbers, but I'm optimistic Andrew and JD will figure out a strong path for football.
