Apparently Happy Birthday to Puka Nacua. Maybe the brightest hope in BYU

He didn't even play for BYU last season.

Being from Holland, I’ve heard windmills are fairly effective at water removal, if that’s what you’re aiming to do.

Does anyone think Ryan Smith/Jazz are going to leverage BYU as a farm program

Das_Countach

11:30am

No.

NOCAL_YFAN

11:31am

Would be awesome. But no.

Knee Brace

11:32am

I think Ryan Smith is really rich and really likes BYU so he is spending money

LaVellIfIKnow

No.

Eddie

11:36am

Impossible in NBA because other owners see them as well.

Thrill

11:39am

The one benefit to the Jazz is you get players comfortable with Utah.

Huh? You know the NBA has a draft, right?

POLL: We need more Q1/Q2 quality OOC games. Who do you prefer to schedule?

SEC team = Kentucky at the MC = revenge

HimmerFredette

11:23am

Revenge? Or "thank you" ?

Preppy

11:25am

All of the above

HimmerFredette

11:27am

Actually we don't. The B12 schedule gives us plenty of Q1 and Q2 games

BYUMizzou

11:28am

Hot take: I would like BYU to play a tougher non-con than last year. BYU was not

spidercoug

11:30am

Tougher OOC prepares you more for conference and for March Madness

arizonacougarfan

11:30am

With a new coach and probably a very new system, I'd prefer not overdoing OOC

BYUMizzou

11:38am

Apparently not. Big 12 didn't prepare us at all for March Madness.

Mitty

Only MWC that project to be Q1/Q2 next year are Utah St, Boise St, and SDSU

Charges against Scheffler dropped. Cop who arrested gets disciplined

But he sacrificed his body!? And pants

Longseason

11:16am

So, was the Cop a Xander Schauffele fan?

Adrielle

11:19am

"Disciplined"

COUGND

11:22am

Cop was way out of line. Should be suspended or fired.

BYU Folsom Fan

11:32am

Could be an interesting lawsuit for potential lost earnings because of this.

BW84

11:32am

Charges dropped against Scheffler.

Not surprised one bit.

What prosecutor would want to pursue and lose that case? Incredible he even

Plato

Seems like them kept them alive mostly to get him to agree not to sue?

Plato

11:13am

Haha. That's illegal.

the rural juror

11:14am

it's leverage. And the arrest was bogus, so don't count on them to follow rules

COUGND

11:24am

It's not leverage because it's illegal and would jeopardize the bar license of

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

Dr T-bone

10:58am

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

cougarfann888

11:02am

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

PJMort

And we don't have to just pay them in socks and volkswagons.

Clark Addison

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

Yeah, they are great but the noise that is cancelled is the static drone, not the screeching. You're drowning the

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

People are also overstating it. At fast food restaurants in Utah most of them start at $10-$11.

My daughter is getting paid $16 an hour at swig. She’s 15

BulldogCoug79

11:21am

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

10:55am

Minimum wage doesn't effect wages like that.

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

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

Tare

Awesome, now do the state minimums . . . which are the ones that matter

2FarGone

10:58am

Here ya go

Tare

11:05am

Not accurate at all; Arizona is $14.35 . . . what else is wrong?

2FarGone

11:12am

Not arguing the effect of minimum wage laws, but Los Angeles County is $17.27 on 7/1/24. San Francisco is $18.07 on 7/1

PJMort

Have you ever found yourself complaining that BYU games are not in the afternoon

Jaxson more likely to Kansas than BYU

Tidbit on Jax. No idea how valid the info. If true, could bode well for us.

I hope Demin has a better year than Johnny Furphy did with Kansas.

Lamont Butler withdraws, Koby Brea withdraws, still waiting on Jax

I will go out on a limb

Pope has recruited well & now 3 guys are opting out of the draft and going to UK

Egor Demin told Spanish newspapers he went to BYU “for a lot of money”

Do athlete recruits need to write all of the same essays as normal students?
