realistically count the costs. There IS some risk involved, here. Now, for some players that risk will be negligible. For others, not so much.

I hope KY gives these BYU portal departures ….

I don't think it's that easy. Our portal guys are proven commodities.

Hall and Ritchie are great players...for BYU. At Kentucky, they will play some,

Expecting loyalty from players in this day and age is silly

It it goes both ways too. And if they are getting paid they better perform well

And make them maintain some minimum but respectable GPA. After all, they're in college.

You might want to step away from college sports altogether then.

What will you do when your wife enters the portal?

My NIL for her is enough to keep her for her entire eligibility.

I don't get this sentiment. If Hall was my kid I'd tell him to shop himself around. He need not take the highest offer,

Exactly. Some dudes don’t have a grasp on either reality or common sense.

You think Dallin Hall is worried about not finding a D1 scholly? Really? There isn't an once of risk for him.

Literally no one has suggested taking $200k less.

All the posts being accused of that I've read had something abt money being at least similar if not matched.

Ridiculously program killing terrible idea. It’s the 20’s time to adjust

Not sure they “want out” as they entered when coachless. Testing waters might be a better phrase.

Let's start over and make it good. OK, there were words. Leaders fix these kinds of problems. BYU and Dallin together.

Yes, you're right. The situations are different for each player.

Soupie

Apr 19, 10:06pm

There is such thing as reality. Who would demand a youngster stay on a job for $200K, when offered $600K elsewhere?

Bro, you would do the same thing…

Why even give scholarships to kids with NIL money? Give those scholarships to athletes in non-revenue sports.

I like that idea

During a coaching change, I can’t blame a player entering the portal to see how you fit in the new scheme and relate to

Pope has literally zero players right now. Sucks but can’t blame him for reaching for low hanging fruit.

I get what Pope is doing. It sure doesn't taste good for BYU fans. Kinda sour.
