He has 4 in the first couple of rows of the upper bowl, 50 yard line, West side...basically primo seats. No annual fee...just has to buy the tickets. One catch....he can never move them. BYU has been raising prices slowly, and eventually the geezers will be priced out. He and I just talked this past month about my taking over payments on 2 of his 4 seats. They are currently in the name of his oldest son, but his oldest only wants 2 of the 4 now (he thinks they are too expensive), so I may wind up buying the other 2. not sure, though.

If you have passion for BYU, you have a right to voice your opinion. 71 has more passion for BYU than some guys that donate more than he does, and some guys that donate a lot less than 71 have more passion than he does. If 90% of your casual wear is BYU gear, you plan your vacations around BYU games, and you can name the starting QB's for each year going back to 1972, then you have every right to voice your opinion for BYU no matter how much you donate. |

I have a relative who is well connected. He is very much "in the know" of things that happen at BYU and in the church.
Over Thanksgiving, I mentioned to him that Jerry Jones annouced the $100,000 donation requirement for the rights to purchase the best seats in the Cowboys new billion-dollar stadium. We got into a discussion similar to this thread. He told me that every year, the Legacy donors and other prominent members of the church that have ties to BYU are solicited for additional donations, and every year, over $50 million is raised for the university. |

BYU gets nowhere close to $50M per year in donations to athletic department. Maybe 1/10th of that. |
