It is appalling and disgusting to me that the church has members cleaning its toilets for free after they laid off all their janitors years ago when they lost a boatload of money during the last financial crisis and when Beneficial Life went belly up but now has $32 billion in their stock portfolio, built a high end mall and condos in downtown SLC for $5 billion, owns 3% of the land in Florida for a future 500,000 person metropolis owned and operated by the church as landlord, keeps buying up office high rises and apartment complexes around the world to the tune of billions, yet, penny pinches with its religion and schools and then tells the president of Zimbabwe that we are 'not a rich people' and thus cannot assist in the development of clean water wells or construction of water piping projects. It's unreal.
As a member of the church that happily cleans the toilets once a quarter for free you've completely lost me on this diatribe.
Again, I cannot name any coach that BYU lost out on over money. You obviously have a big problem with the church's finances, and I hope that someday you'll catch up on whatever sleep that you've lost of this issue, but the money issue is not what is currently holding the football program back. If Kyle Whittingham had told BYU that he'd switch schools if BYU paid him more than the Utes were then this would be an excellent argument. However, I'm not aware of that being the situation. If Andy Reid had called BYU and said I really want to come home and coach in Provo, but I'm unwilling to take a pay cut, then again, this would be a spectacular argument. As it is, I cannot think of anyone who has chosen not to come to BYU over the money, so its a argument that addressees something that is not the actual problem.
