Interesting the way NIL has changed the game

I wonder if the new law in Virginia will change things. If schools are able to directly pay athletes rather than a

Aly’s $600k is for 2 yrs so $300k a year. Still good but let’s be accurate.

Who is pope? Never heard of the guy.

IMO, he is also no Watts, Rose, or even Arnold and Anderson.

Well they both weigh 105 soaking wet

delinquentcoug

Z has been injured, so can't really determine who is better yet

What’s crazy about that too is Akshay hits a ton of low stingers barely off the ground as well.

SinkingQuffa Intervention Needed

What’s happening at byu isn’t unique to byu. Look at the entire landscape.

blackandblue

I do hope you're right on that. I do think our kids were all encouraged to jump in the Portal, though

SinkingQuffa

And just like Pope, money and me above all else. Nothing else matters

Forbidden Fruit

Dude, he worked his butt off for us. Money is NOT his prime motivator in life. Look at his family, man.

SinkingQuffa

Stick to your latest theory, you on to something

Forbidden Fruit

And if I am — I still have to read the situation through the lens of the post you just responded to.

Off topic, Saunders is gone. Lost cause. Pope disciple and he was sold hard

Forbidden Fruit

No kidding? I hate to lose Saunders. Dang.

DawgHaus

He's a tough, tough loss if true. He's the one that makes me sense a bit of vindictiveness is at play, I'll admit.

This is definitely not true. Yet.

A winner like Pope? Are you from the future? Pope couldn't even win the WCC.

JAGA97

And our all-timer HC before him did better at that? With more tries — & in an easier WCC?

SinkingQuffa

7:04am

Rose never finished 5/6 in consecutive years in the wcc

BYU '80

7:22am

Rose never finished below 3. He had a few 2nd places. Average WCC conf ranking

Forbidden Fruit

Whoop-de-doo. Sounds like coronation material to me. Oh wait — yes, that's already happened.

SinkingQuffa

7:29am

You seem to think pope deserves coronation for much less

BYU '80

7:31am

No. Just some acknowledgment as a dang good HC in his limited time. Who saved our program.

SinkingQuffa

7:33am

If UK plays D for Pope like you, I think they’ll be pretty good next year

Forbidden Fruit

7:38am

Or if they just play D like Pope's teams do. Our best defensive HC since Roger Reid. Hands-down.

SinkingQuffa

7:39am

Pope and Rose are close by the numbers. 79 and 85 avg D efficiency rankings.

Forbidden Fruit

He made it clear his entire adult life that he was a Kentucky man

SinkingQuffa

The athletic dept and bot don’t control nil

BYU '80

7:20am

Don't be ignorant, man. They have the control board & console entirely before them. And always have.

SinkingQuffa

7:27am

I don’t hate Pope, I loved him as our coach. My one and only gripe with him now

Sircumference

7:28am

He's presently trying to retain/poach players. I understand (& appreciate) why he ain't thanking BYU right now.

SinkingQuffa

7:38am

I appreciate that but also see bigger time coaches than him manage being gracious to their departing school/fanbase.

Soupie

The issue I see is NIL is not sustainable as it is currently structured.
