A large tip might help the process

Do you have a platinum or higher level status with Marriott. If you do and the

it all depends on how full the hotel was the night before

mobicurious

10:17am

At the very least, most hotels should at least hold bags for you so you could leave those before checking in and go out

POLL: Found out my 6th grader plays QB at recess and another kid has been paying him $1 every time he throws him the ball. My son has $46 cash from him so far. Should we intervene?

Odysseus

10:09am

Keep accepting the deal, but don’t throw to him at all several days in a row. The price will go up.

TCuz

10:13am

Does the rest of the team know what he’s doing?

Crowgar

10:15am

I’m not sure. He said there are like 20 people on each team calling for the ball

Odysseus

10:20am

Yes you should take the money

Cougrrrs Roll

I’m in favor of sixth grade NIL

Maybe consider mentioning it to the parents of the other kid - but that's as far as I would go. I appreciated it when

USU fans if he came here:

provoprodigy

Does he have any ties to BYU? Or Utah?

ldssdl

10:18am

Played at USU for 3 years. Followed the coach to VCU last year.

Mostlyaccurate

10:19am

Beyond the basics do fancy facilities matter anymore?

CougarCanuck76

10:07am

Apparently many pro facilities are kind of dumpy, so maybe not.

BlueFever

Proposed solution to this NCAA NIL mess…

TheManintheArena

10:06am

It's nuts to think that BYU's head coach is going to get paid more than Arizona

Schrodizzy

10:06am

That's what a top dog program does - so refreshing.

NOCAL_YFAN

10:07am

I’m surprised the even released contract details at all, the amount is even more

Rhubarb

10:13am

BYU doesn't release that stuff, it was probably his agent.

Schrodizzy

10:19am

Question begged, though: was Kevin's hefty price tag reflective enough in regards to his value as a D1 HC?

SinkingQuffa

An acquaintance of mine was sitting passenger in our work vehicle. Name of company was on the side of vehicle.

The Band of Brothers chapters about D-Day have been used at West Point

The academies use popular books to get the 18 year olds excited and into reading

2FarGone

The collaboration between Ambrose and Winters makes that book special

mobicurious

Some of Winters' stuff has also been questioned, as well.

Arnhem - Antony Beevor...D-Day adjacent but an amazing book

I enjoyed D-Day by Stephen Ambrose.

I find it interesting that Ambrose continues to be loved by the masses, but hated by the historical community

Not D-Day, but Neal Bascomb – The Winter Fortress was great.

YLife

9:57am

I think you make a case as to why he has a legit shot, anyway. AND as to why he prob wants to stay put.

SinkingQuffa

9:59am

I've been a big defender of Hall's play. He directs the offense very well & has better size & strength than many PGs

Soupie

10:01am

Only if he stays does he have a chance

palangi

10:03am

I’m laughing he won’t legitimately play in the NBA.

RdF3

10:04am

“It” factor in Utah high school basketball ≠ NBA

RealTaysomHill

10:05am

Why do so many people think Hall can't defend?

ochobeeguy

10:05am

Because he is a physical defender and doesn’t get steals with quickness. Steals

BYUheaven

10:06am

Yep, Harden was top 5 one year in steals…

ochobeeguy

10:15am

Because he’s not super fast laterally

It may be the best part of his game

If you're not on draft radar going into your Junior year it's very unlikely.

"He will eventually figure out how to defend and make FTs."

shoganai

I think he was saying that he will eventually figure that out while in college

travelcoug

He is not “crafty enough” offensively. His finish% at the rim is terrible. He

Excellent college player. Will never play in the NBA

Iman23

Here are the things that make that unlikely: Size, quickness, and shooting.

Also Age. I forgot to add that one.

Mikey

I agree he could. Being a 22 yo sophomore hurts.

This is like the 10th time you have posted this

The reason for that is pretty obvious

It is kinda weird, agreed. Don't tell your employer you're leaving? Or the team?

So, if you want someone to stop something then just don't say anything to them?

Meh, I wish Mark no ill will. He's gone I don't care anymore but this season was a lot of fun

Yeah, after watching the press conference my feelings changed on this. Go Suns!

The Dark Knight

Really? How many times do you see the associate head coach interviewed? It may get mentioned, but won’t be a storyline

Not interviewed, but every mention of it is good press for us.

Cougrrrs Roll

9:40am

Will ESPN focus on an NBA assistant during the broadcast?

WJCougar

9:45am

He said he is behind the offensive scheme

The Dark Knight

9:47am

He asked that players & fans watch to see what offense he'll be running at BYU. That should be of at least mild interest

Soupie

9:57am

All I ask is he has a different offensive set than Pope...

WJCougar

10:02am

The NBA is slightly different from the college game.

John Doe

9:56am

You mean the NBA game is very different

Schools in Virginia will be allowed to directly sign athletes to NIL deals now.

Cougar TD

That is pushing towards employee status which becomes very messy.

Baron

9:41am

There’s already several lawsuits pushing for that

I'mBatman

9:45am

As opposed to the super tidy and problem-free current model

BoiseBlue

9:46am

It is 1000% tidier than employee status. Worlds easier. I am not sure you understand the legal and cost implications

Baron

9:48am

I haven't looked it up, but I'd guess literally millions of people in the US

BoiseBlue

You have no idea what you are talking about in regard to the implications of this. Would high school athletes be

Baron

The issue isn't whether it complicates things, it's whether or not it

BoiseBlue

Yup. Unions, collective bargaining, contracts, long term health insurance, etc.

P-Widdy

9:46am

Yep, what they don't understand is with employees status, comes contracts.

volleyjiver

9:48am

Honest question. I don’t understand why it’s seen as messy

TheManintheArena

Let's start with one complication. Worker's comp. Then overtime. That's just two things.

Baron

9:53am

It's not remotely complicated for sports that generate money. It is extremely

rcbyufan

10:01am

It is very complicated. Complicated doesn't mean it won't be figured out but it is very costly and complicated.
