00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,399
momentum going into next season as well. So uh, we're

170
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:29,759
just we're just focused on on h on this game.

171
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,759
Speaker 5: And that that flipped the page mentality.

172
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 10: Bear, When did you start practicing again after the injury

173
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:34,879
in the board game.

174
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,799
Speaker 9: Yeah, I've been been out here and uh yeah, uh

175
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,279
slowly increase in uh in the in the reps and yeah,

176
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:41,840
feeling good.

177
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: People talk about motivation for these.

178
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:49,159
Speaker 4: Okay, so what is the mechanism of the injuries? I

179
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,440
went back and looked at it and I sent it

180
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,639
over to a number of my orthos, my sports met

181
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:54,440
docs and asked them, Hey, what does it look like

182
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:55,879
from your vantage point?

183
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:57,919
Speaker 5: I'm looking at like these and I'm talking with.

184
00:08:58,039 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: Foot and ankle guys for the particular injury because they

185
00:09:01,399 --> 00:09:06,480
maybe see it more often than other traditional the knee, shoulder,

186
00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:11,159
hip or thos. And it looks like a high ankle

187
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,720
sprain we have had. We even had Brady Papinka hop

188
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,000
on and discuss the high ankle sprain.

189
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 5: And you look at the body type of Bear Robald.

190
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,879
Speaker 4: When you see the lower extremities of Bear, right, there's

191
00:09:23,919 --> 00:09:26,639
a lot of musculature right, There's a lot of tendon

192
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,120
and I mean he looks like he's he's pretty thick

193
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,480
jointed too. I mean it takes a lot of torque

194
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:38,159
to to ultimately disrupt a ligament attendant or muscle right like.

195
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,519
Speaker 5: I mean, he's a thick dude.

196
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: You went up against some thig dudes as a rugby player.

197
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,799
Speaker 5: It's hard to like, you.

198
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: Know, I know that guy's three hundred and thirty pounds

199
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:51,240
at Texas Tech defensive tackle, but it's crazy to me

200
00:09:51,279 --> 00:09:53,639
that he came back so like that. That gives me

201
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,600
at least some optimism that it was just a grade one.

202
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:02,679
If it's a grade one mild sindismosis injury, it's you

203
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,679
can look it up sindismosis, sindismodic injury.

204
00:10:06,759 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 5: Okay.

205
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,039
Speaker 4: You're looking at two to four weeks before you can

206
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,639
return to play. I had a Grade one okay, high

207
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:16,799
ankle spray and I got back in two weeks.

208
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:17,159
Speaker 5: Okay.

209
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: Air Force two thousand and seven, I had a Grade

210
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,320
one high ankle spray and I had an external rotation

211
00:10:23,639 --> 00:10:27,600
issue with contact and I got back in two weeks.

212
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:27,919
Speaker 5: Okay.

213
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 4: And I'm a defensive back though, so like foot and

214
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,960
ankle stuff, I mean your health, your foot ankle healthy

215
00:10:34,039 --> 00:10:35,679
is a priority.

216
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 5: You don't have.

217
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 4: Foot ankle healthy, it's hard to get back on the

218
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,000
field and play better than your backup, especially at corner safety.

219
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 5: You can get away with it at corner.

220
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: It's a little bit tougher whenever you're playing any sort

221
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,360
of even zone based coverages, but.

222
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,519
Speaker 5: Definitely man coverage.

223
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 4: So you're looking at two to four weeks if it's

224
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,240
a grade one, and that's what I think. This is

225
00:10:54,279 --> 00:11:01,000
a grade one sinnismosis, ligament stretch or tear because he's

226
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:04,039
been able to gradually get back and and I can't

227
00:11:04,039 --> 00:11:06,159
remember what his verbage was there, but he's like, yeah,

228
00:11:06,159 --> 00:11:09,639
I've been working in What what percentage do you think

229
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:11,360
bear Bachmeyer is at right now?

230
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 5: What percentage do you think he's gonna be at kickoff?

231
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 4: With the the Orlando Pop Tarts Bowl on the horizon

232
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,159
just a week away.

233
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: I think eighty percent is what it'll be at.

234
00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:25,799
Speaker 6: Look, I think it's anytime you have an injury being

235
00:11:25,879 --> 00:11:29,480
and you have to practice on it, you know, do

236
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,440
any type of movement where you're just not off of

237
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,840
it completely, that's gonna take a step back now.

238
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: Eighty percent is better than you know, no percent, But.

239
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,879
Speaker 6: I believe he's probably my opinion, I probably believe he's

240
00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:41,559
sixty percent. I've had a high ankle sprame, you know,

241
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,879
and you know you feel it. It definitely affects you

242
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,879
moving and doing what you want to do. So I

243
00:11:46,879 --> 00:11:49,039
think that's what he feels at now, because maybe he

244
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,720
can't run the way he wants and he still needs

245
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,399
to heal up a little bit more. Now he has

246
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,399
a couple of weeks removed from it, you know, just

247
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,840
about so I think by the time kickoff, eighty eighty five,

248
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,000
I think it's gonna be close to get to that

249
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,080
ninety one hundred because you know, you really can't be

250
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,440
that dinged up, and it's it's a foot in. How

251
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,159
Baar is able to you know, really execute his game

252
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,720
is in the run style. So I think by the

253
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,320
time kickoff is, I think he'll be at a higher

254
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,559
eighty five percent, which is still really good, but I

255
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,799
think he definitely might be limited of how they use

256
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,120
him in a run game because you don't want to

257
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,080
get him beat up too bad.

258
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're right.

259
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 4: I think we're looking at more like a more severe

260
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,120
grade one here where you know it's gonna take him

261
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,360
like four weeks to feel completely healthy. I don't think

262
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,440
he's gonna bee hundred percent, but he'll be able to play.

263
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,840
I wonder how much of the QB run game will

264
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,159
be implemented. You look at the second half of that

265
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,240
game versus Texas Tech. He ran a little bit, but

266
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,000
he was not the same. How much will he be

267
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,039
involved in the run game. How will that impact the

268
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:45,919
ability of l J.

269
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 5: Martin.

270
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 4: I got some actually good news today about LJ. I

271
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:54,480
think his Draft Garrett grade is gonna come back in

272
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,879
between that kind of that fifth sixth seventh round Mark,

273
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,440
And we discussed this yesterday with like Puoka's rookie deal,

274
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,200
and you look at some of these other rookie deals

275
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,960
if you're if you're a guy that's on the fifty

276
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,559
three man, yeah, you can get paid pretty well.

277
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,279
Speaker 5: But depending on which state you're in.

278
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,759
Speaker 4: And maybe we talk about with Blaine about that with

279
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:18,200
income tax, you know, you're making maybe five hundred thousand dollars,

280
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,159
which everyone's like, oh my gosh, it's a lot of money.

281
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:23,639
Speaker 5: But guys, you can make way more than.

282
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,919
Speaker 4: That if you stay at by You can't LJ what

283
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,639
type of what type of money is LJ gonna make

284
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:32,200
if he comes back to BYU.

285
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: And I know there's a lot.

286
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 4: Of people out there that don't want to talk about,

287
00:13:35,799 --> 00:13:38,559
you know, fair market rates and what these players, uh

288
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:42,360
should or should not be paid. But these are donors

289
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,279
in corporate sponsors, Okay, realize that are paying for these

290
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:49,320
players to represent Brigham Young University. It's not the church,

291
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,240
it's not BYU as an institution.

292
00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 5: Remember BYU athletics.

293
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: You get to play in their sandbox, okay, and they

294
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,279
get to eat what they kill.

295
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 5: As I've said many.

296
00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 4: Times, no ties or offerings uh fast offerings are being

297
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,720
given to these football players, so don't get it twisted there.

298
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:10,919
They're not so the corporate sponsorships, the the nil collectives.

299
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,840
They may say, LJ, you're coming in with your draft

300
00:14:14,879 --> 00:14:18,600
rate at six seventh, fifth, sixty seventh, maybe even practice

301
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,679
squad depending on you know where you're getting picked up

302
00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:25,159
and and what availability they they need from you and

303
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:26,399
how good you are.

304
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:29,559
Speaker 5: And I'm being optimistic, I think with that five to

305
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,360
six round.

306
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,759
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's a second day guy, and

307
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,240
so if you're getting more more of those that third

308
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,639
day type of eboil LJ told us, And we may

309
00:14:38,679 --> 00:14:41,360
have to play that sound again today like he's like,

310
00:14:41,399 --> 00:14:43,360
I'm gonna evaluate it all and then figure it out

311
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,240
if BYU is willing and capable.

312
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:47,759
Speaker 5: And when I say b y once again, it's the

313
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:49,080
the the donor base.

314
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,519
Speaker 4: If they're willing to offer him a million dollars as

315
00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:54,799
an independent contractor W nine, there's a lot of tax

316
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,159
advantages there to take.

317
00:14:56,039 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 5: In the million and then offsetting some.

318
00:14:58,879 --> 00:15:03,559
Speaker 4: Of your tax exposure through a strategic wealth management and

319
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:05,960
WELP advisement opportunities.

320
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,159
Speaker 5: Does that make sense? Running it may?

321
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: It's a lot better you know, to take that seven

322
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:11,879
to fifty to a million, and it could be more

323
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:14,559
than that to retain him at BYU and he comes

324
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,639
back in two thousand twenty six. How great would that

325
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,919
be for BYU if you get Bear and LJ back

326
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,279
in the backfield in twenty twenty six.

327
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I mean what they did this year, you

328
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,399
just have to think, and I want to go broader picture,

329
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,679
right Ben, because they can't do what they did this

330
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:33,879
in order to win a big to a conference championship.

331
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:36,440
But getting those two back, then adding the likes of

332
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,559
a Devon Ecka, adding maybe another guy or two from

333
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,720
the portal bin that and Sioni Molla coming back healthy,

334
00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:44,600
that helps you, now right, that helps?

335
00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:45,639
Speaker 3: So that's gonna add.

336
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:48,039
Speaker 6: So yeah, getting lgback will be a big portion, especially

337
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:50,639
if that if that draft grade bin is between fifth,

338
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:52,720
six or seven, that you can up that comeback for

339
00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:55,600
next year and that you wouldn't make more until your

340
00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,120
next contract and you can get drafted out in a

341
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,840
third or fourth or second or fourth that you come

342
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,200
back for a year, you can make seven figures. Absolutely,

343
00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:04,720
you take that. That's why you go test it, see

344
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,440
what it is and figure it out. And then you

345
00:16:06,519 --> 00:16:08,480
come back because right now in the Landstepe of college

346
00:16:08,519 --> 00:16:11,159
football band, like you said, it's ninety nine these independent

347
00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:14,600
contracts that these twent athletes can get, it's beneficial and

348
00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:17,399
better actually to come back for one more year than that,

349
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,440
you know, And Pukah's different. You know, Puka's signed a

350
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,879
deal that's gonna be make him the highest paid wide receiver.

351
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,039
That guy's an anomaly. You can't say, well, I'm gonna

352
00:16:25,039 --> 00:16:26,559
be a pooka the cool you could be. You could not.

353
00:16:26,879 --> 00:16:29,440
That's different. But even Puka, I feel like if you

354
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,639
were in this day and age is a seventh figure guy.

355
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,799
So I think to your point, getting LJ back with

356
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Bear would be great and the depth that they add,

357
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:40,440
and LJ definitely deserves it to me, the donors that

358
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,360
are out there that are listening to people, if that's

359
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,480
what the decision comes to LJ. Martin Ben, I'm gonna

360
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,240
say it right now, this is me being declared of

361
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:49,120
is worth a million dollars, He's worth seven figures.

362
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 3: I think he's that guy. He proved it this year

363
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,399
and look he's come close.

364
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 6: Been having a thousand yard seasons to me in the

365
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,840
last two years, even before this one, if he stays healthy,

366
00:16:57,879 --> 00:16:59,639
if you go look at the numbers, he's only three

367
00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:01,360
or four games away where if you would have been

368
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,960
in what could have happened. So I think this is

369
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,359
a guy that's definitely earned his paper. We'll see what happens.

370
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,119
But at BA you got him back. That'd be huge

371
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,480
for the Cougars going in the next season because not

372
00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:12,799
really an RB one right now on this roster.

373
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,519
Speaker 5: Love that. Let's get back to the bear Bachmeer sound.

387
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,680
quarterback for the Popcards Bowl.

388
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,839
Speaker 1: You know, non playoff type games. What is the motivation

389
00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,400
for this game?

390
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 9: I mean we just we just like that fun. I mean,

391
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,400
we just like to play with our brothers on the field.

392
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,680
And and uh, I think that's kind of self explanatory itself.

393
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,640
And and as as to why and how much we're

394
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,599
motive motivated to play this game, how far.

395
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: Percentage are you at Hew twice?

396
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 5: Would you say?

397
00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:15,079
Speaker 1: Ninety?

398
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: Yeah?

Speaker 9: Yeah, feeling good?

401
00:18:16,759 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: So how important would be to get a twelve get

402
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,920
three something this program hasn't had in twenty five years?

403
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,319
Speaker 9: Only Yeah, it feel really good and and uh you know,

404
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,720
I know, I know, uh we're we're attacking practice and

405
00:18:28,759 --> 00:18:30,880
so we're yeah, we we want to get that twelve

406
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,400
win and but but we just we just want to

407
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,039
go out fun and go play with play with our brothers.

408
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,319
Speaker 1: This would be your first ball game opportunity. How much

409
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,640
what do you expect you just to call? The festivities?

410
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, uh looking forward to Christmas and in Florida and

411
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,880

and also just having that that time with the boys

415
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:02,440
will be fun. Teen year man, I just think the

416
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,559
the love that that we have for each other, and

417
00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:06,559
and me coming in as a freshman, I never felt

418
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:09,519
as an outlier or any other freshman like we we

419
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:11,759
we can talk to the fifth year, senior, senior, and

420
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,880
and that's just the brotherhood and and the camaraderie that

421
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,240
we have and in the culture that's instilled here at

422
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:16,599
the OU.

423
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,799
Speaker 11: Talked to Hank it all about what it's like playing

424
00:19:19,799 --> 00:19:20,359
in bowl games.

425
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 10: Does he lean on him at all for that?

426
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,279
Speaker 5: I actually actually haven't.

427
00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 9: I just uh just talked to talk to to the

428
00:19:27,279 --> 00:19:29,599
guys and obviously we played the album Bowl last year

429
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,599
and they said it was it was just a surreal time.

430
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,400
So just cherishing every moment and and yeah, hope hoping

431
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,039
that's really fun.

432
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Are you a big Disney kid growing up? Probably gonna

433
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,119
go to Disney World?

434
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:38,599
Speaker 5: I don't think.

435
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I wasn't. I wasn't too far from Disneyland.

436
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,960
I think I only went one time, but uh, yeah,

437
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,440
I watch a lot of Disney movies and so yeah,

438
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:52,119
I'm really really excited for that is Moana Disney, I think, yeah,

439
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,640
Molana or Maui one of those.

440
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 5: I hope the Jordan tax defense.

441
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 3: Where are the things that's.

442
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: Happened in attack?

443
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, they they got a great scheme, they got great players.

444
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,440
I mean they held Georgia at sixteen points. You know,

445
00:20:06,519 --> 00:20:08,119
they good good to the pressures as well.

446
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 7: So we did.

447
00:20:08,759 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 5: We just gotta be ready.

448
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, pop tarts ball in the a couple of years

449
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:15,720
that it's been around, has a little bit of application on

450
00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:17,920
the years football. Guy, are you aware of starting the

451
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,880
kind of the band tags, the nationally viewpoint and a

452
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,119
lot of people to the team. I think they're kind

453
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,680
of calling those the people's national championship, a lot of

454
00:20:25,759 --> 00:20:27,599
money kind of the games.

455
00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:30,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, I understand the lineage of the bowl and and

456
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,920
you know it's it's it's a it's a really fun

457
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,480
time and a really great bowl. And so I'm just

458
00:20:35,559 --> 00:20:37,440
really looking forward to it and and yeah again just

459
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,559
playing with my brothers.

460
00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:41,279
Speaker 1: How important are these practices? Is you carry a momentum

461
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:42,119
into spring ball?

462
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, they're really important. I mean, yeah, you can think

463
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,519
about it as spring ball, but just I mean we're

464
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:49,920
practicing for for for this game, and and so we've

465
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:50,839
got a mind on this game.

466
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 11: Have you been able to accomplish some extraordinary things?

467
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:54,599
Speaker 3: It's a true freshman.

468
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: What have you learned about yourself maybe this past year

469
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,960
or just about the college games?

470
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,519
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think, I mean, I I think it just

471
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:07,119
kind of goes back to how it was raised and

472
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:09,720
I knew I could play it just I think it

473
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:12,279
was as a testament to the team, the coaches and

474
00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:14,359
and yeah, I mean just people around me and making

475
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:14,839
me better.

476
00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:16,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

477
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,599
Speaker 9: So it's just it's been a great season. But you know,

478
00:21:18,599 --> 00:21:19,640
we got we got one more game.

479
00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:23,519
Speaker 5: Any other questions for Bear, thanks so much?

480
00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 4: All right, So a couple of things, A couple of

481
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,200
little nuggets there. Number one, he was very hesitant to

482
00:21:31,319 --> 00:21:34,680
declare percentage. She's getting up there, getting up there, right,

483
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,559
So look, if he's at ninety percent prior to kickoff,

484
00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:41,920
I'll be happy because that means he's still he's gonna

485
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,519
be able to be taped braced. Give him a little

486
00:21:44,519 --> 00:21:47,519
bit of toward all that's an anti inflammatory, right, Maybe

487
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:49,759
give him a little light of cane injection, because it's

488
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:52,359
not going to you know, impact him, it's not gonna

489
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,400
you know, this guy kind of worsen the condition, and

490
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,000
he's back and he's playing, he's gonna look pretty similar

491
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,759
to what he was prior to the injury. So I

492
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,160
think that's one element there. Once getting like leaning into

493
00:22:04,839 --> 00:22:07,400
his you know, one of those final questions, great, great

494
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,799
question by g Man discussing you know the things learned

495
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:13,400
and and and where he leans on and and you

496
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,000
know where his success stems from, obviously family, and that's

497
00:22:17,039 --> 00:22:19,720
what makes like his love okay for the game, the

498
00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:22,119
first question that he answered right and how he's getting

499
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,720
up for the game BYU loves Ball Colony says, this

500
00:22:26,759 --> 00:22:29,319
team loves ball. Bear Bagmer loves to play ball. It's

501
00:22:29,319 --> 00:22:31,880
a it's a game that they grew up playing. It's

502
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,839
for fun. And yes there is some financial incentive as well,

503
00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:38,640
but it's not all about just making that cash money.

504
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,880
You gotta love the game. You gotta love your teammates,

505
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:42,759
you gotta love who you're representing. You have to have

506
00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:45,519
a foundational why about what you do and how you're

507
00:22:45,519 --> 00:22:47,240
gonna do. And it just can't be the filthy loop,

508
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,480
can't be just be the Benjamin's okay. So all of that,

509
00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:54,000
you know from those sound bites, legit believe that Bear

510
00:22:54,319 --> 00:22:59,720
is going to be the leader for BYU for the

511
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:03,039
next three or four years. Man Like, it makes me

512
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,119
optimistic about the potential future b YU football. Knowing that

513
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,000
Bear is gonna that just completely aligns with BYU and

514
00:23:12,079 --> 00:23:16,079
Kilane culturally. And even if you if you've listened to

515
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,839
there's an interview with Bear Bachmeyer and I think Tiger

516
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,400
Bachmeyer discussing the alignment that they.

517
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 5: Have with b YU at a as a as.

518
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 4: A high level football program, highest level football program with

519
00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:33,359
faith and academics combined with it and the right culture.

520
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,759
So it makes me optimistic about the future, is what

521
00:23:35,799 --> 00:23:37,759
I'm getting at Ronald three man Weaver, I think you

522
00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:38,519
would agree with that.

523
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:40,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely do.

524
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 6: The future is you know, it's bright and the alignment

525
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,440
these guys are perfect right from BOU and I know

526
00:23:45,559 --> 00:23:49,799
that maybe Tiger's role hasn't maybe been what people would

527
00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,039
thought would be, but I had the chance to see

528
00:23:52,039 --> 00:23:53,960
Tiger coming out of practice and talk with them, and

529
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,480
these are guys that want to be here like their

530
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,799
fittest culture in this mode. You know, I shouldn't say,

531
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,359
but they fear right and you wouldn't think honestly that

532
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,839
they were any different, you know, if you were to

533
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,759
go talk to them, and I think, look, there was

534
00:24:05,799 --> 00:24:07,519
a group of media members they did a good job

535
00:24:07,519 --> 00:24:10,680
of asking, you know, as you know, what advice would

536
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,519
they give to them being And I bring this upthing

537
00:24:12,519 --> 00:24:15,359
because it's always an ethnicity race.

538
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,839
Speaker 3: Culture always matters to me. Other people might not care.

539
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,799
Speaker 6: And I don't care if necessarily if people don't want to,

540
00:24:19,839 --> 00:24:21,960
but it matters to me, like them being you know,

541
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,720
Asian American, like playing at Byu, Bear being one of

542
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,440
the first Asian American quarterback, like that matters. Telling that story,

543
00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:32,079
telling people that hey, you can accomplish the sas fit

544
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,279
in the mold, that sets the president and the foundation

545
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:36,519
for the next kid down the line that sees Bou

546
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:37,960
and I go back to this. If you say it

547
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,400
doesn't matter, what about the kid in the stance and says, hey,

548
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,119
here's my twin And they put up on the screen

549
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,000
and Bear puts a why up right. That's influence, that's impactful,

550
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:47,920
That showcases the culture in the world and lets people

551
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,039
know that hey, I can thrive and I can sell

552
00:24:50,079 --> 00:24:50,599
and I can be.

553
00:24:50,519 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 3: A part of this. I also belong to Byu.

554
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 6: So I love that love that they're leading it during

555
00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:57,559
something that's phenomenal, and you know, you hope he's ninety

556
00:24:57,559 --> 00:24:59,680
five percent Ben, because if he's ninety five percent, that

557
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:01,880
Joe there's the tech defense is going to get really pushed.

558
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 5: Guys, we live from the road Home the road home

Tis the season to be giving. Because we have been

568
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,480
given much, we too must give. Let's give back to

569
00:25:33,559 --> 00:25:35,799
those in need at this time. The road Home is

570
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,000
the best place to give right now, as they are

571
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,000
housing those that are homeless and during the holda seas,

572
00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:44,319
you need a home, you need a hearth, you need warmth,

573
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,720
and that's what we provide here at the road Home.

574
00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:49,559
Eight oh one, eight one nine seventy three hundred. That's

575
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:52,559
eight one, eight one, nine seventy three hundred. The road

576
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,319
Home dot org. It was great breaking down Bear Bachmeyer commentary.

577
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,240
We'll be back with our question pull to day end

578
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:04,079
of the day, and also we're welcoming in Blaine Anderson

579
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,359
of band or Wealth to talk a little bit about

580
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,960
the strategy behind either go into the NFL. Right, you

581
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,960
look at what a practice squad player is making in

582
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,720
the NFL two hundred and forty thousand dollars as a

583
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,200
practice squad guy. If you don't make if you don't

584
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,119
make the fifty three man roster, okay, and that can fluctuate.

585
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,799
Some weeks you may be on the fifty three man roster,

586
00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:29,720
but sometimes you may be on the practice squad. So

587
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,440
if you're on the bubble, you know you're a fifth, sixth,

588
00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:35,519
seventh rounder, you're not guaranteed that you're going to be

589
00:26:35,519 --> 00:26:38,160
a fifty three man guy. Even if you do make

590
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,400
that fifty three man roster for the entire year. Let's

591
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,759
say you know you're looking at one point four million.

592
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 5: You could be taxed on half of that.

593
00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 4: Do you take you know, the seven hundred thousand, okay

594
00:26:48,839 --> 00:26:52,200
tax income, or do you take the million that you're

595
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,400
being offered to stay in college football as an IC

596
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,200
as an independent contractor what's better and why. We'll talk

597

Speaker 11: I'm doing great. Merry Christmas, Ben.

630
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 4: Merry Christmas, Happy holidays. Appreciate you joining us. I have

631
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:30,640
a question for you. I know, we we we We're

632
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,279
gonna go into a number of different topics here today.

633
00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:37,839
But I've been evaluating recently the Puka Nakua situation. Right,

634
00:28:37,839 --> 00:28:41,680
Pooka's balling out last night. He had himself a night.

635
00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:47,680
Poka Nakua is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL.

636
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,440
The crazy thing about this, okay, he is on his

637
00:28:52,599 --> 00:28:55,559
rookie deal. It's a four year deal worth four point

638
00:28:55,640 --> 00:29:00,319
one million dollars with the Los Angeles Rams. I think

639
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,720
you probably know a little bit about California and how

640
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,799
they tax you know, people, and uh, you know the.

641
00:29:05,759 --> 00:29:08,559
Speaker 5: Income tax, et Ceterably, half of that.

642
00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:12,839
Speaker 4: Is going to to federal in state taxes. So he's

643
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,640
maybe taken home what four hundred and eighty thousand something

644
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,319
like that. What would you guess to make there after

645
00:29:20,519 --> 00:29:22,920
all the taxes that he's having to pay.

646
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 11: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised at all. He's at least

647
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,559
thirty seven percent marginal bracket and then the state of

648
00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:33,400
California is another ten percent. So yeah, he's probably seeing

649
00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:34,920
net about half of that.

650
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,359
Speaker 4: Okay, so we're see in half half of that, So

651
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,519
it begs the question.

652
00:29:39,759 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: He was a fifth.

653
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 4: Rounder out of brig Up, fifth round pick one hundred

654
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,799
and seventy seventh overall. Obviously he never saw the practice squad.

655
00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:52,519
The practice squad players make like two forty, right, and

656
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:54,759
sometimes they may be called up to the fifty three man.

657
00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:57,400
They'll get a little pay raise, but their minimum is

658
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,720
essentially to forty. He bangs the question, do you take

659
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,319
a rookie minimum contract, Say, for instance L J. Martin,

660
00:30:06,359 --> 00:30:08,759
he's a fifth, sixth, seventh rounder, Say he doesn't get

661
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:13,640
a grade a Day two draft grade and so that

662
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,039
puts them probably in that bracket of these these rookie

663
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:22,279
deals that are a million dollars a year roughly. Okay,

664
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,119
depending on where you're drafted, right, it's gonna determine how

665
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,640
much tax you're gonna pay. These are things you've discussed

666
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,400
with some of the players that you represent, the people

667
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,519
that you represent. Is it better than to stay in

668
00:30:37,559 --> 00:30:41,240
college represent a place like BYU. Let's say you make

669
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:44,960
I don't know, seven hundred and fifty k, or let's

670
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,359
say you make a million, but you're a W nine

671
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,440
for that year as an independent contractor what's the better

672
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,599
thing to do? Is it to take that rookie minimum

673
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,079
contract you're and take the chance of where you're getting

674
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,599
drafted and the taxes that are associated with that, or

675
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,880
do you take a seven hundred and fifty k W

676
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,160
nine or one.

677
00:31:02,079 --> 00:31:06,359
Speaker 5: Hundred or one million dollar W nine instead? What would

678
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:06,799
you say?

679
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,279
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I think more than ever, this is a

680
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:14,680
complicated decision and even something worth debate. Years ago, of

681
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,839
course it wasn't even a question. But like for example,

682
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,640
talking to LJ when he was on the show and

683
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,440
joined me for one of these segments recently, he talked

684
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,640
about it being a dream of his going to the NFL.

685
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,759
I can understand that it's tough to place the value

686
00:31:29,799 --> 00:31:33,039
on it. But if you get down to just the numbers,

687
00:31:33,599 --> 00:31:35,599
being a big fish in a small pond, and I

688
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,200
know BYU feels like a big pond to us that

689
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,279
are here local, but in the grand scheme of things,

690
00:31:40,319 --> 00:31:43,079
it's a small pond, and a player like LJ is

691
00:31:43,119 --> 00:31:45,720
a big fish. And now where they can make the

692
00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:48,480
kind of money that they can and do at seven

693
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:52,000
hundred and fifty thousand dollars range versus going to the

694
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:55,480
NFL and making a couple hundred thousand. But if you

695
00:31:55,559 --> 00:31:59,440
go to a state like California or Massachusetts, New York

696
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,359
to pay a lot in state taxes, now Florida, Arizona, Nevada,

697
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,519
some of these other states where there's not a state

698
00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:09,480
income tax, that might make a difference. But the bottom

699
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:11,720
line is I would say, unless you're a first or

700
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,039
second round pick, I would be tempted to play and

701
00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:18,480
stay my senior year. And I think hopefully that does

702
00:32:18,559 --> 00:32:21,400
keep guys like LJ. Martin if they can put off

703
00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:25,200
going after their goal, which was at professional From a

704
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:28,119
number standpoint, I think a great argument can be made

705
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,279
that third round and below staying enjoying some of the

706
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:36,400
benefits of nil from the dollar standpoint, make a lot

707
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,240
of sense. The only thing I would throw out that

708
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:41,720
maybe the NFL guys have even more than the college guys,

709
00:32:42,279 --> 00:32:45,599
could be more of the endorsements and some of the

710
00:32:45,599 --> 00:32:48,079
brand deals and the other things that they do. I mean,

711
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:51,519
we do see Puka doing a lot with Little Caesars

712
00:32:52,319 --> 00:32:54,799
for one. I know I've seen him on some other commercials.

713
00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:56,720
I bet he's making more there than he is even

714
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,279
with his NFL contracts.

715
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 5: No, that's intriguing.

716
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: But you have to be a pooka, right, I mean

717
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,960
he's you know what I mean, you have to become

718
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,359
a puoka by year three on that rookie contract.

719
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,519
Speaker 5: You gotta be balling out.

720
00:33:07,599 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: You have to be one of the premier players either

721
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,720
in the market you're in, right, You're gonna get market deals, right.

722
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 5: If you're in LA.

723
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,359
Speaker 4: I mean that helps him, right because he's a because

724
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,759
he's in a big market. You go to a smaller

725
00:33:19,799 --> 00:33:22,440
market made you're gonna have to go local deals rather

726
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,839
than maybe national deals. So that's an of intrigue, Like

727
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,119
when when does it benefit what's the threshold, right.

728
00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 5: Do you think let's say a practice squad guy.

729
00:33:31,279 --> 00:33:35,519
Speaker 4: Okay, say a guy has an eligibility left and he

730
00:33:35,559 --> 00:33:38,400
could come back and make you know, five hundred thousand

731
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,160
as an independent contractor, or even two hundred let's say

732
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,799
it's two hundred and fifty thousand as an IC or.

733
00:33:44,839 --> 00:33:46,960
He goes to the NFL and he's probably a practice

734
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,640
squad guy making that same rate, but he's having to

735
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:54,480
pay taxes on it immediately. What's the better route there

736
00:33:54,519 --> 00:33:56,880
if you're kind of that practice squad guy, but you

737
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,039
can make you know, two hundred thousand or so in

738
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:00,920
college football?

739
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, Well, as an NFLPA advisor, we've done a number

740
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,840
of webinars, and especially around the combine and the rookie camps,

741
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,679
we were involved in a number of trainings around the

742
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:18,559
rookie contracts, the practice squad contracts. And I'll tell you

743
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:21,280
based on what I saw, I would rather be a

744
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,440
big fish in a small pond to have a senior

745
00:34:23,519 --> 00:34:27,199
year at a college with the opportunity to participate in

746
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:31,079
revenue share in NIL than I would practice squad NFL guy.

747
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm right there, And you can take an

748
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:36,440
insurance contract out right. So if you're coming back, you're

749
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,719
going to get an insurance type of policy to protect

750
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,079
your right if you do get injured that final season.

751
00:34:43,119 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 11: Correct, Absolutely, absolutely, and a lot of guys do that.

752
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:50,000
They're expensive, but that does give a little bit of protection.

753
00:34:50,079 --> 00:34:52,519
I think a lot of it is something I remember

754
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:54,960
that LJ said, and that was just that playing in

755
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,599
the NFL was part of his dream, and I'm sure

756
00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:00,400
that's a big factor with it all. But if you

757
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:03,119
if you have some of that perspective and you know

758
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,519
your outcome or at least where you're at. You mentioned

759
00:35:05,559 --> 00:35:08,760
some of these NFL guys that may have a year

760
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,079
of eligibility that to me, I would rather take a

761
00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:17,079
year of college and now with the opportunity to earn money.

762
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,039
It's a whole different landscape and a whole different decision.

763
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,159
Speaker 4: So as a as like, let's say I'm a I'm

764
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:25,360
a student athlete here, I'm an athlete student with a

765
00:35:25,679 --> 00:35:28,840
I create an LLC. I'm gonna have a million dollars

766
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,360
coming in this year with my deal. You meet with

767
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,400
CPAs all the time, and you you have these these

768
00:35:36,519 --> 00:35:40,679
forums where you're you're representing your client and they have

769
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,360
their CPA there what are some of the tax mart

770
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,239
wealth things that you can do in that year to

771
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,679
maybe offset some of your tax exposure. If you're bringing

772
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,440
in seven hundred and fifty to a million dollars and

773
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,440
fifty thousand to a million dollars in a year.

774
00:35:57,599 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, like you mentioned, when you have an ll

775
00:36:00,159 --> 00:36:03,239
year a business entity set up, we'll go and set

776
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,400
up a retirement plan with that business entity. And especially

777
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,760
if you have very few employees, we even set up

778
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,000
pension plans. They're called defined benefit plans or cash balance plans.

779
00:36:14,039 --> 00:36:17,239
They're way more advanced and way more opportunity than like

780
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,280
a four to oh one pay But that's a way

781
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,119
to put a lot of that money that you received

782
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,719
now into a tax deductible tax deferred account and an

783
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,719
investment account. We do other types of investments we've talked about,

784
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,719
whether they be oil and gas or even in real estate.

785
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,920
Start creating passive income. So having that business LLC or

786
00:36:37,119 --> 00:36:40,360
entity having a ten ninety nine income, put in together

787
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,639
a tax smart wealth strategy, especially where that income is

788
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,760
going to flow. It's going to be heavy in some years,

789
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,840
maybe not others. There's some wonderful planning that can be done.

790
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,480
We even put together a playbook for business owners for

791
00:36:52,599 --> 00:36:56,440
ten ninety nine high income earners and it's part of

792
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,880
our Tax Smart playbook and it's one specifically for business owners.

793
00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:01,840
There's a lot you can do with that type of

794
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:02,880
setup and arrangement.

795
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, now, a great insight there.

796
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,599
Speaker 4: Blaine Anderson, Financial Advisor, Tax More Wealth Advisor here on

797
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,199
your Utah ESPN.

798
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 5: Ready to network.

799
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,679
Speaker 4: There's a lot of players in college football right now

800
00:37:13,679 --> 00:37:16,400
going through this process and trying to figure out what

801
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,119
the best route is for them.

802
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 5: A couple other things there.

803
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 4: New year is on the rise of some entrepreneurs will

804
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,440
want to think about strategically, you know, their income flow,

805
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,119
when and how they take income from their businesses in

806
00:37:29,159 --> 00:37:33,440
the coming year to stay as tax efficient without maybe

807
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,320
limiting growth. Can you share a few insights, maybe a

808
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,760
few strategies around income flow that they might consider right now.

809
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:41,199
Speaker 9: Yeah.

810
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 11: Just in the call prior to us stopping on today,

811
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,719
I was talking to an investor out of Colorado. We

812
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,559
had done a tax observations analysis for him and realized

813
00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:55,840
that he had about eighty thousand dollars realize capital gains

814
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,639
that he could still play with before the end of

815
00:37:57,679 --> 00:38:00,679
the year. So he's We're looked at his portfolio, figured

816
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,960
out where we could sell some investments, free up some

817
00:38:04,119 --> 00:38:07,719
cash flow, keep him in a fifteen percent long term

818
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,480
capital gains bracket, not push him over the net investment tax,

819
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:16,320
which is an additional unnecessary three point eight percent, and

820
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,960
keep him out of the short terms bracket. So what

821
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,800
we were able to do is free up eighty thousand

822
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,599
dollars in cash, save him ten percent on these transactions

823
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,880
in the sale. And that was just by some planning

824
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,639
and doing a tax observations and analysis. For many of

825
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:33,840
our business owners, we tell them, hey, let's pay some

826
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,800
of these costs that we know you're going to have

827
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,760
in January now, and let's take some of that income

828
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,559
that we know is coming in January and push it

829
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:43,000
off to next year. It's a little bit about timing

830
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:46,119
and management, and yes, we may run into similar situations

831
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,360
next year. But I just had a meeting with an

832
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,039
accountant this week and I heard him say something to

833
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:54,519
his client that I really liked, and he said, paying

834
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:58,000
taxes later is always better than doing it now. That

835
00:38:58,119 --> 00:38:59,719
was something that came from him, and that's part of

836
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,559
the strategy and some of the timing that we help

837
00:39:02,639 --> 00:39:04,960
them implement with clients at the end of the year.

838
00:39:05,599 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 4: Love that great breakdown, Blaine. Always appreciate our time together.

839
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,039
Always love talking stats with you. For those that are

840
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,239
wanted to maybe hop on a fet free Q and A,

841
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,920
no the case doing best Q and A at the

842
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:18,480
end of the year.

843
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 5: What's the best way to go about doing that?

844
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 11: Yeah. On our website on the contact us we have

845
00:39:24,519 --> 00:39:27,000
a section where you can request a copy of our

846
00:39:27,079 --> 00:39:30,320
tax Smart Playbook and that'll give you some ideas. I

847
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,159
actually was just with on a call earlier this week

848
00:39:33,199 --> 00:39:35,400
with a caller that had got a copy of our playbook.

849
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,039
Incited three or four strategies that he wasn't aware of

850
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:41,760
if he scheduled a call. I met with him yesterday.

851
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,280
We're gonna hop on again early next week. I'm going

852
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,079
to do a tax observations analysis for him so he

853
00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:48,719
can get some ideas at the end of the year.

854
00:39:49,679 --> 00:39:52,519
But the call really is meant to be about you,

855
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,679

few things that are happening in your personal world, and

857
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,199

00:40:57,039 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 4: You know you canna you would you take that fit

878
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:04,639
sixth seventh round spot with a you know, a four year,

879
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,519
four point one million dollar type of rookie deal. I

880
00:41:08,519 --> 00:41:10,960
think that's what Lj's up against right now. He probably

881
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,199
is gonna be a fifty three man roster guy, fifth, sixth,

882
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,159
seventh round. He's gonna be on that traditional rookie deal

883
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,880
because he's not gonna be a day to guy. He

884
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,760
could make anywhere from seven hundred and fifty to if

885
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,800
he went into the portal, he'd probably get more than that.

886
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,239
He'd probably had one point five million on the free market.

887
00:41:32,519 --> 00:41:34,760
It's probably gonna be somewhere between there. What do you

888
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,760
do and why? We'll discuss it on the flip. This

ladies and gentlemen. All Right, we're gonna get into our

931
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,320
questions and polls of the day here in this segment.

932
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,760
One of my questions is around the LJ. Martin situation.

933
00:44:00,159 --> 00:44:03,599
So I reached out to a few individuals that I noticed, say, Hey,

934
00:44:03,599 --> 00:44:06,519
what is the market rate for a guy like LJ.

935
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:12,480
Martin Big twelve Offensive Player of the Year thirteen hundred yards.

936
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:18,519
He's a well rounded all purpose back, has become fantastic

937
00:44:18,559 --> 00:44:22,880
in the in past, catching pass pro in between the tackles.

938
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:23,559
Speaker 5: Off tackle, he.

939
00:44:23,559 --> 00:44:26,639
Speaker 4: Can run inside zone, outside zone, you can toss, he

940
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,639
can speed option with him off tackle.

941
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 5: He is a phenomenal running back.

942
00:44:32,679 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 4: And so the market rate that I've gotten back is anywhere,

943
00:44:37,559 --> 00:44:40,280
depending on the school right, anywhere from nine hundred to

944
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,920
maybe one point five million on the free market.

945
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 5: Okay, And I imagine with Rev.

946
00:44:46,519 --> 00:44:50,519
Speaker 4: Shaer and nil and if he does get a draft

947
00:44:50,599 --> 00:44:53,199
rate that would put him in the fifth, sixth, seventh

948
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,679
round or a high high priority undrafted free agent.

949
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 5: Imagine he's five to six or seven. Right.

950
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's a Day two guy just

951
00:45:00,079 --> 00:45:02,360
at with the running backs that could be coming out

952
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,280
this year, but let's say he gets that Day three

953
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,400
type of draft rate similar to Puka.

954
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 5: Puka is still on his.

955
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 4: Rookie deal, four year, four point one million dollars. Now,

956
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,920
as Blaine Anderson pointed out, he's got because he's balling

957
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,599
out over the last couple of years, He's got plenty

958
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,719
of endorsements and that he's probably making more money off

959
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:25,719
the endorsements than he.

960
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,599
Speaker 5: Is off his NFL salary. So you have to take

961
00:45:28,679 --> 00:45:30,239
that into account maybe too.

962
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 4: But you know, if you're LJ and you're getting a

963
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,719
market rate of as an independent contractor nine hundred to

964
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:42,320
one point five million dollars as a you know, and

965
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:46,960
you get to maybe take that home, set up your LLC, strategically,

966
00:45:47,079 --> 00:45:50,880
get an investment, you know, strategy and place, et cetera.

967
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:55,280
Do you take that or do you take the NFL?

968
00:45:55,559 --> 00:45:57,519
Where you know, if you go to LA, if you.

969
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,079
Speaker 5: Go to a certain state that has high taxes.

970
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 4: You're only taking about half of that home. What say you, Roddy,

971
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:05,599
where would you lad?

972
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah?

973
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,840
Speaker 6: This has tough, Ben, right, because you obviously want to

974
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,760
live your dream of getting to the NFL. That's the

975
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,880
first thing that's most important when you have aspirations. If

976
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,119
your time is now, you want to go, especially as

977
00:46:17,159 --> 00:46:18,800
a running back. It all depends, Ben. If I'm a

978
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,000
running back, that's tougher. I know I only have a

979
00:46:21,079 --> 00:46:22,599
six to eight year span. I don't know if I'm

980
00:46:22,639 --> 00:46:25,599
going to be a Jonathan Taylor or a Derrick Henry.

981
00:46:25,679 --> 00:46:27,840
Like its an anomaly. You get beat up at that position.

982
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,639
But depending where I'm at, if if I know that

983
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,079
my market rate is seven figures been, if I want

984
00:46:33,079 --> 00:46:35,000
to enter the portal, if I know that I can

985
00:46:35,639 --> 00:46:37,639
talk to BO you and persuade them to give me that,

986
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,920
and I know that I'm not going earlier than the

987
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,480
fifth round and it could even be later depending on that,

988
00:46:43,519 --> 00:46:45,360
then I'm probably coming back for that year and taking

989
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,000
that seven figures to doing it. It has to be

990
00:46:47,079 --> 00:46:49,960
seven figures though it can't be the seven hundred and fifty,

991
00:46:50,599 --> 00:46:52,599
you know, because I think at that point you might

992
00:46:52,639 --> 00:46:54,400
as well just move on. Because you play well, your

993
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,960
next contract would be more depending where you're at. So yeah,

994
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,920
I would take the seven in that FI year, six year,

995
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,840
depending on it, and then set up obviously my LLCB

996
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:06,400
at ten ninety nine, start to put some money away

997
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,599
and do that and negotiate that and if LJ has

998
00:47:08,599 --> 00:47:11,440
that opportunity or any VA football player, Right, Chase Roberts

999
00:47:11,519 --> 00:47:14,000
was in this situation last year coming back, I think

1000
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,639
you should definitely take that opportunity to do that to

1001
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,599
do so because it's a great opportunity.

1002
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:19,159
Speaker 3: Right.

1003
00:47:19,199 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 6: You want to be the big fish in the small pond.

1004
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,440
You want to set yourself up for the financial future,

1005
00:47:23,639 --> 00:47:25,119
and I think that's the best way to go about it.

1006
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:27,360
Because if you look at a guy like Pooka, if

1007
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,920
you're not going to have that impact and you go

1008
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,039
to an LA team or San Francisco, unless you're going

1009
00:47:32,079 --> 00:47:36,920
Ben to Texas, Florida, you know, maybe Kansas, what is Missouri?

1010
00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:41,280
You end up in these big city Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, California.

1011
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,039
Speaker 3: Taxes are high, even Washington up.

1012
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 6: There, you know, Ben, you know Oregon like it's those

1013
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,559
are the places where it's tough.

1014
00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 3: So I would take the fifth year for sure, that's

1015
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:51,400
that's what I would do.

1016
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, I heard some good news earlier today that makes

1017
00:47:55,119 --> 00:47:59,159
me believe that b Yu can be competitive here and

1018
00:47:59,519 --> 00:48:02,840
maybe he retain the talents of l. J.

1019
00:48:03,079 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 5: Martin. If you get l J.

1020
00:48:04,519 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 4: Martin to come back, you get Bear Bachmeyer to come back.

1021
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,880
He still has some needs in the portal. You gotta

1022
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,079
go in address. You're gonna have to go pick up

1023
00:48:13,079 --> 00:48:15,239
a tackle or two. You're gonna have to go into

1024
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,159
the portal for some offensive line and no doubt you

1025
00:48:17,199 --> 00:48:19,920
may have to go pick up a wide receiver as well.

1026
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:23,840
You know, as far as a tight end is concerned,

1027
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,719
you may have to go pick up that four stard.

1028
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:28,639
Speaker 5: Tight end that just entered the poorer portal. Walker.

1029
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 4: Lions defense looks pretty good, you know. I think you

1030
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,440
may have to pick up a linebacker maybe or two.

1031
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:37,599
But we have great depth there. Don't get a twist.

1032
00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:40,320
We got great playmakers there that can step up in

1033
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,000
the absence of Jack Kelly. Still to be determined what

1034
00:48:43,079 --> 00:48:45,440
Isaiah Glasker is gonna do. He's got a tough decision

1035
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,840
to make as well. Gonna he's gonna receive a pretty

1036
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,760
penny at BYU or elsewhere. If he's in the NFL

1037
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,480
or if he decides to take his talents to the Portal.

1038
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:59,000
So it would bode well for Brigham. If they were

1039
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:01,119
able to retain L. J. Martin, that would be a

1040
00:49:01,199 --> 00:49:04,880
huge get in the off season, the best recruiting get

1041
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,079
and retention get of the off season.

1042
00:49:07,159 --> 00:49:09,760
Speaker 5: Know IF's answer butts about it. Guys, we're live from
