is NIL money paid to players through the Universtity of through third party channels? This has confused me...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

8:36am

its not paid through the university

cwilke1

Let me remind you what BYU is elite at…

MD Rebel Coug

When does football start? Kalani may have some added pressure.

vabeachcoug

8:35am

Kalani just needs to focus on winning. It's his only out.

BlueFever

8:37am

Bottom line, we need to bring in our new Coach ASAP so we can move on. Forget about Pope and focus on keeping the rest

I was excited that Chandler committed to BYU, but anymore I never care about

Cougar TD

Pope was someone who just loved to hear himself talk and was always flapping his gums. If Kevin Young is actually hired,

RdF3 Inactive user

8:33am

How do you know he can win in March?

RockyBalboa

8:35am

I don't. But I do know how highly respected Kevin Young is around the NBA. I suspect there's some substance to that.

RdF3

8:35am

Fans, looking to byu to lead them into the future!

Division Bell Recovering

8:31am

My prediction...Collin Chandler will play 1 or maybe 2 years at Kentucky and transfer...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

8:31am

He probably plays one or two years and then goes to the NBA

kC Cougar

8:31am

He is that good? He is a talented kid but that's pretty crazy talent level

TNT

8:35am

My prediction, Pope fails at UK within 3 years.

Swag Kazekage

8:31am

Chandler would go to Utah if that happens

arizonacougarfan

8:32am

Depends. Who would be Utah's coach at that time?

RockyBalboa

8:34am

If the hair fits...

kccougar

8:33am

Chandler is really good, not your typical top byu recruit.

Dr T-bone

8:33am

He will be like watching Furphy this year but slightly worse.

Forbidden Fruit

8:35am

Then he’ll transfer to the U

pegushin

the true problem today is NIL and Transfer Portal. No one else, not even Pope.

What % of players stick with their recruitment after the head coach leaves?

Kdubb

8:27am

Kevin Young "is in line for a head coaching job." It's happening.

spidercoug

8:27am

hes not going to know anything about college.

Deleted

8:27am

This alludes to him getting the Hornets job, no?

Kdubb

8:28am

BYU changed their mascot to the Hornets.

Hypnotoad

8:29am

No. It's just an NBA blog, so they pointed out he interviewed there.

spidercoug

8:29am

You seriously think the head coach job they're alluding to is BYU?

Hypnotoad

8:31am

I just don't see how it is alluding to the Hornets either. Just says elsewhere.

spidercoug

8:33am

I think they would specify it's a college job

Hypnotoad

How fun would it be for Kentucky to play us a the MC?

Yeah, that isn't ever going to happen

VinnyBYU

Clearly his value to Chandler is overplayed. He was still committed to BYU

ordinary tri guy

A couple CB posters have inferred that Chandler has already been getting BYU NIL

porl thompson

Sounds like you inferred that.

Don't NLI only last 1 year? I thought if you go on a mission it's already expired by the time you get back.

It says in one article I read that BYU released him from his NLI.

Maybe. Someone posted that UK had signed something like 45 players rated higher

Does Pope recruit Chandler if he is at UK when Chandler is in high school?

dallasbyu

8:19am

Probably not.

BYUtka

Then why take him now.

dallasbyu

8:20am

Bird in the hand. Chandler's a great player that can contribute on any team.

Ol Big Bear

8:22am

He lost 3 5 stars and a 4 star to the portal

Cougz19

8:22am

A lot of players have left Kentucky as well, and the recruits have all Decommitted... Pope maybe has like 4 or 5 players

Coug

8:24am

Because he is good enough and he is familiar with him. Lack of talent isn't the

BYUtka

8:24am

All of the big KY recruits decommitted. He’s scrambling.

Absolutely. Are you kidding? He’s a top recruit with LDS ties.

Kdubb

8:20am

Yes

BYUheaven

8:21am

Chandler to Kentucky is a little weird.

rad dawg

8:21am

Yes. Kid is a baller. Top recruit.

vabeachcoug

8:21am

Did Calipari recruit him?

Madam Pattirini

8:23am

no idea but he was playing in Team USA practices. He was known

vabeachcoug

8:26am

This is how I feel about Pope

Forbidden Fruit

8:18am

TH better be learning from this disaster & update the contracts for new coaches

CaliWG

8:18am

Your second contract clause may not be legally enforceable

cougarfann888

8:21am

It is drafted so the limitation is not on the athlete. It is on the coach.

CaliWG

8:23am

Similar provisions have been deemed collusion to restrict

cougarfann888

Contracted employees have specific restrictions on their being hired full time

That’s why it should be the new industry standard

Chandler released a thank you to cougar nation on IG.

Mostlyaccurate

What love and support has he felt from Cougar Nation? He never even suited up.

ChiCityCoug

8:21am

Screw off, totally disingenuous tripe

pegushin

I guess this is why Pope never released a statement.

Mostlyaccurate

Wish him little success and hope he doesn’t pan out. Raking in NIL $ before even

Hiring Mark Pope was a good thing for BYU to do.

Goatnapper'96

Pope was the "safe" hire after Rose. It wasn't a "risky move." Good or bad, it

BYUtka

8:16am

Except it turns out is was a huge risk.

The Y's Insider

8:21am

Only because BYU's legal team lacks insight on how to structure modern coaching contracts.
