Hughes

I had heard Jay Norvell kept playing his qb last year because of the NIL he was getting. If you're paying a player a lot, benching him means admitting you made a mistake. Could it be Hughes will be on the field because the coaches don't want to admit they wasted 800k?

Very well could be the case. Further, this says an awful lot about they eye for talent from the current staff...eh...head coach. Travesty.

How did the $800k number come about? I thought they were big into hiding those numbers

It started with Sawvel announcing last year following the season at a press conference that he needed $1 million to go get a quarterback...

Gee...wonder what it would have cost to keep Kaden Anderson and actually coach him to his potential (which appears significantly higher throwing the ball than Hughes).

This disproportionate NIL crap absolutely does cause issues on a team. How many of Wyoming OL (making peanuts compared to Hughes) probably look at Hughes as an overpaid professional athlete versus a normal college teammate who they would defend at all costs?
