Asked Jazz owner Ryan Smith about his BYU NIL donation plans. "When I'm no longer here, they're going to get a big chunk of whatever I've got. But that's the right thing to do, because that's where it all started. You gotta remember where you came from, and I... show more

This is easily one of the dumbest things wealthy people spend their money on.

I saw FOS and I thought it was Friends of Scouting...and if you ask an LDS member about that, it brings up PTSD. 😀

So what Ryan is saying is he's going to leave the Jazz to BYU in his estate plan.

I pay for your upgrades to the Delta Center, so in a way I'm making a donation to BYU. I wish you would pay for your own facilities instead of asking taxpayers to do it, but I'm glad you don't donate to the U.

So typical of this dude. Talks like he understands the problem and then continues to perpetrate and makes it so much worse. He wants his cake and eat it too.

Cure cancer? Nah. End animal abuse? Nah. Save the great salt lake? Hard no. Unwatchable Athletics, he’s in.

Is he wearing his temple clothes?

Imagine God blessing you with an enormous bag and you spend it on your favorite sports teams instead of helping widows and the poor.

My fortune is my house worth about $500K it will go to BYU football 100%, it would be a handicap to my kids. I learned a long time ago that you don’t reward bad behavior,

Well its been a long long Jazz haul. I hope he and Danny's plan works and we get a championship with the Jazz. On the other hand ALL UTAH ALL DAY!

Is this the guy who founded the survey company Qualtrics? If so, I hate their product.

This just drives them nuts!

Indulgences are a "heck" of a drug.

A large sum of money just went from Brian Santiago's bank account to an overseas shell corp.

Fuck this guy
