A little wild how NIL was a benefit and not a hindrance to BYU landing Demin

Dr T-bone

It's interesting that nil is not really controlled by the school.

Unspoken implication: Before NIL, players were getting $$ in violation of NCAA rules. BYU couldn't compete with that...

noise cancelling headphones don't cancel out the screaming that well, but I agree with your premise regardless.

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

Minimum wage doesn't effect wages like that.

Kilgore Trout

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

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

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

Skeptical Optimist

I agree with this disagree!!

BYUforlife

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.

You can make a 50 minute layover in Amsterdam or CDG

Archaea

British Airways for both.

It will likely work out.

Archaea

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

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.

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

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

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
