A lot of teenagers are awash in money these days

2FarGone No One of Consequence

10:44am

I hate to break it you but it's not just because of minimum wage laws

cougarfann888

10:46am

Min wage in UT is less than $8 an hour. It's hard to find a job paying that low

SLC-Durham

10:49am

Jobs paying that low would have zero applicants. Supply and demand at work.

BoiseBlueCoug

10:51am

You hate to break it to me? Idaho pays that because they have to because that is the expectation

2FarGone

10:51am

Idahos wages are not because of minimum wage laws it because of inflation and

cougarfann888

10:53am

That was my point, they are driven a market expectation of what should be paid

2FarGone

So they learn very bad spending habits early. What could go wrong?

Kinda like the generation that had discipline with their money? 💰

Federal minimum wage is $7.25. No one is hiring at that wage. Government isn't

SUU coach was a yewt last year after the game

arizonacougarfan

I'm sure Alabama and Ohio State would never do such a thing.

Kilgore Trout

10:41am

That’s different. SUU has no boosters so they have to do the tampering

DieHarder

10:42am

He's a huge yewt. I liked him when we first hired him, but he's got a rotten attitude.

He’s a big Utah fan. Not surprised

Is a two hour layover at London Heathrow long enough? I would have to go from

jskcoug

10:26am

Plenty

macdizzle

10:27am

Disagree. T5 to T3 requires going through customs, security, and a bus ride

Skeptical Optimist

10:40am

I agree with this disagree!!

BYUforlife

10:41am

I hope so because I've got a 1:20 layover on Tuesday. LAX-LHR lands at 2pm. LHR-Zurich takes off at 3:20.

brj8

10:32am

You can make a 50 minute layover in Amsterdam or CDG

Archaea

10:34am

British Airways for both.

brj8

10:36am

It will likely work out.

Archaea

10:37am

I’m shocked you’ve made 50 min transfer at CDG. I’ve always been stuck

Thanks....so, how is the collective helping all students athletes like their

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

10:14am

Yes there would, they would just be operating on a fraction of their current budget.

Joe Banks

10:16am

To add, without football or basketball some of those Olympic sports would become much more revenue generating.

Joe Banks

10:17am

I get that football/basketball revenue helps with Olympic sports... I'm asking

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

10:21am

No idea. On first impression, I would say the statement is poorly worded in an attempt to sound grand.

Can "Urgency" & "Effort" be learned/improved in a player as experienced as Jax?

Part of me wonders how we will do when there are others better than him on the

LeonMarek

10:24am

I don't think so. I think it's similar to "seeing the court". You could drill "seeing the court" all day and

mokelembembe

10:39am

Does KY's NBA-style gameplan mean positions 1-5 don't really apply anymore?

DirtyWater

10:01am

Positions definitely still apply in the NBA. You don’t see Rudy Gobert at the three point line

RealTaysomHill

10:04am

But you do see Chet, Wemby, Turner, Lopez, etc doing it.

PHXSUNS31

10:04am

Those guys have range. Plus they still hover in the paint on defense.

mudpupper

10:10am

I’m just saying being a C doesn’t mean you don’t shoot 3s

PHXSUNS31

10:11am

This is my point though. I named a center who doesn’t shoot threes. You named a bunch that do. The fact that you are

RealTaysomHill

10:16am

Right but they don’t often play C exclusively ala AD or Draymond. It’s fluid

arcawley

10:20am

When was the last time AD played a point guard role? He exclusively plays at the 4 or 5

RealTaysomHill

10:24am

But draymond does play pg..Giannis runs offense and plays the 5 at times

PHXSUNS31

10:27am

Well sure, there are still position designations, but roles are fluid.

PHXSUNS31

10:26am

He’s out there every possession.

scootsy

10:07am

That’s based on his offensive limitations, not the NBA norm anymore

Tare

10:07am

NBA has been heading that way for awhile. I’d definitely expect an nba offense

Guess you'll have to stop traveling now. We'll miss all your travelogues but somehow we'll manage.

durandal

Are you worried people will think it’s weird an adult is screaming?

SBB

You should probably stop screaming then

Jazz fans, would you trade 29 and 32 for 22?

PHXSUNS31

I think you’d probably hope to get a couple of spots higher than that, but

DieHarder

10:05am

Ya that’s what I thought…I wonder if Min at 27/37 would be a better bet for PHX

PHXSUNS31

10:06am

Depends on if they guy they really want is there

ballen

10:07am

Sure. I definitely agree we don't want three rookies.

JuicyJam

Might make more sense to package picks to move up from 10 though

If they have title they should sign it over when you bring the cashiers check.

HuskerFan2

9:54am

Seems like you use a cashier's check so that the seller knows it will go through

cougarmeister

9:54am

No, not common. There are steps the seller can take to ensure the authenticity.

Corn Pop

9:54am

Do the exchange in the parking lot of the bank. Walk in together and verify the money.

IAmSpartyCoug

9:54am

^ this. Seems super fishy. I'd understand a personal check, but cashier's is already taken from the account.

Ragnar Danneskjold

10:03am

Do they have title or do they still have a loan?

Niiineteeen84

9:57am

They have the title

Adam_Pontipee

Then they should hand it over as you give them the cashiers check

Niiineteeen84

If it's me I would verify the cashier's check clears too.

Do NOT walk away without the title. Go to the bank if they act

What form does that verification take though? Is it a letter, a phone call to
