Can you imagine being a mid major in today's college basketball world...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

9:22am

Not sure, there is a lot more talent than ever before.

A Drew Aitch

9:24am

Is that just a BYU thing? What's your major? Kids.

2ndTrombone

9:25am

Do they let the kids sign with agents now to help with NIL?

BoiseBlue

9:27am

Yep. That’s where this is headed. G5 schools are now farm teams. BYU was

BlooCoug

9:28am

for now NIL is fan-based. Until that changes, Gonzaga in a mid-major conference

cwilke1

9:37am

A mid major could also have a billionaire donor or two level the playing field

JuicyJam

It’s smaller than ever in terms of talent. Bigger than ever in terms of dollars.

The demand isn’t there

If BYU will let him come, I'd gladly have him

I'd be very happy to have him here. Great basketball player.

Take away his throttling of BYU and he is just a chucker. Even with his

I really don't understand how this is allowed. Even with NIL. NCAA is a mess.

he's already gotton our guys into the NBA...sort of.

Cougarclaw

I would think this would be some sort of NCAA violation

The Falcons picking Penix is one of the most baffling draft picks I can recall

macdizzle

9:11am

Really is. It makes no sense especially considering all the needs they have,

oryguncoug

9:13am

Yeah, then they panic and take a TE. Raiders do Raiders things.

macdizzle

9:13am

Here's the other weird thing. If they were going to take Penix they had done a

macdizzle

9:15am

I don't think that's a safe assumption.

JuicyJam

9:24am

Isn't Cousins short term there? I think it's smart. Sit Penix 1-2 years.

LifeLongLakerFan

9:15am

This. It’s the Packers approach with Love. Will be interesting to see if it

CougGolf

9:18am

A team that actually wants to take their time to train a rookie QB instead of destroying him by tossing him

scall

9:19am

He signed a 4 year deal 40 days go. It's not a 1-2 year rental like Rodgers or

macdizzle

9:20am

4 years and the cap hit even if they trade or release him is a crazy amount.

Blue for Life

9:23am

4 yr contract, the guaranteed 100MM is front loaded for the first 2 yrs

RockyBalboa

9:23am

The salary cap makes it a very strange move.

Belboz

9:18am

Sorta like drafting an RB high in the first round when you have a good one

BigD Coug

9:21am

Yeah they've gone back to back head scratchers

SWKTNative

9:23am

It’s even more wild when you consider Cousins got a no-trade clause

Medute

9:23am

Exactly. The HAVE to pay him $100M and he has to approve any trade.

macdizzle

9:24am

Agreed, I was checking my phone for draft results last night and did a major double take on that one. My suspicion is

Hall has a 75-100% chance to return to BYU according to Robbie McCombs. If true,

Great, now BYU is DEFINITELY going to the Elite Eight next year!

Lost CC

Can't lose what you never had (technically).

kccougar

9:14am

And SJ to graduation, but yes strong retention 🤞

wisconsincougs

9:12am

Thx

spidercoug

9:14am

And AAA and JR probably would have been lost even without a coaching change

nephicoug

From the Bright Future Suns to the Bright Future Cougs. Someone tell KOC

Soren Tversky

9:13am

Not sure I would call it amazing, but certainly solid and better than what it

kimdaddy35

9:14am

We really only lost two players (CC and AK) that would've impacted next year.

spidercoug

9:17am

I guess we have different ideas of amazing. Amazing to me would be to retain

kimdaddy35

9:22am

It has looked bright since Coach Y was hired, despite need to focus on darkness by some. Athletic Dept is sky high on BB

roseyscenario

9:17am

AK is redshirting next year, AAA was most likely transferring before coaching

cougarbob137

9:28am

Quite the recruiting pitch to Hall!

hardcorecoug

9:05am

That should be a great sign of the direction he’s heading.

Soupie

9:06am

how bad a look would that be if Hall announced he was going somewhere else after

ordinary tri guy

9:07am

Kind of hard to say no to your teammates like that.

Cougar TD

Hall's portion of this trip isn't going to cost BYU $100,000

9:09am

You going to say no to a playoff game with all your friends and teammates?

cre1ghton

9:09am

At halftime KY needs to have a dance number and hold up a sign for Hall

ryebrye

9:12am

Good idea but NCAA would probably rule that the candy is a recruiting violation.

No, not a bad look

Indianapolis to launch a campaign for an MLS franchise:

RSL 429 Too Many Requests

9:04am

MLS needs to chill. It’s diluting an already weak league.

HingleMcCringleberry

9:04am

I don't think it's diluting it. Inter Miami was an expansion team and didn't exactly steal talent from others.

RSL

9:06am

Two words: promotion/relegation. Will they ever do it? No.

LegitCoug

9:06am

Maybe pro/rel will work here eventually. But I hesitate to get behind it without compelling evidence it will actually...

Tokolosh

9:11am

Pro/rel would necessitate getting rid of playoffs to determine the champ.

LegitCoug

9:19am

It's more likely that Europe will abandon pro/rel than that the US will ever

shoganai

It’s a ponzi scheme in many ways. Lots of the original clubs only make money off

Merge ownership groups, use the Indy Eleven structure instead of building new.

Sitting at BYU Graduation zoned out as they call names- I hear “Cutter Mendenhall”. Has to be Bronco’s son, I’d guess.

Be surprised if they aren’t. Seems I remember that name too.

This is a good question, which made me think. Who are your top 5 all time?

Top 7 (in no particular order):

Baron

8:51am

This is a good answer. I think if you add Duncan it is a clear best 8 of all

kimdaddy35

MJ, Lebron, Kareem, Wilt, Kobe

Bird and Magic were both better than Kobe.

Yes, easily.

kimdaddy35

MJ, Kareem, Lebron, Duncan, Shaq
