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...

I would 100 times rather sit next to a crying baby than a smelly adult. I have noise cancelling earbuds, but I have yet

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

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

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

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

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

British Airways for both.

It will likely work out.

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

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

Joe Banks

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

Joe Banks

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

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

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

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

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

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