Hall, Khalifa, and NIL

Doesn’t Khalifa only have one year of eligibility left?

CrimWalCoug

Apr 19, 7:47am

Redshirting next year

Mexicougazul

Apr 19, 7:48am

We heard during the season that he'd need surgery in off-season

AF_Puma

Apr 19, 9:59am

He's RS'ing this season. It was announced shortly after his Louisville signing was announced.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 7:49am

How? I thought foreigners can’t get NIL deals due to visa restrictions

carwasher3000

It’s Louisville

You can pay them for things they do when they're not in the US

Please use an Oxford comma.

Please, use the vocative comma when addressing someone directly.

EEcougar

Wow they over paid NIL for Khalifa.

crimedog

Apr 19, 7:48am

Hmm. Maybe not. His style of play could put a lot of people in seats. Including non-fans.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 7:51am

Ramadan is earlier in 2025, so maybe he will be more useful come March.

TheLoneCougar

Apr 19, 8:22am

He's not playing next year.

ochobeeguy

Apr 19, 9:07am

Standing at the top of the key and passing the ball?

crimedog

Apr 19, 8:24am

He's actually a great ball handler on the perimeter. Not stationary out there at all.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 8:28am

yes I am over simplifying it. He was still an extremely one dimensional player.

crimedog

Apr 19, 8:44am

His athleticism & reach are really bad, but his D in the paint was surprisingly good, despite.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 8:49am

He did pretty good for a guy with one leg held together with duct tape

niqmadu

Apr 19, 9:45am

At the end of the day, he's a tough dude. Which is why I'd invest in a post-surgery version of that gimpy knee.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 9:56am

He's taking the redshirt to heal and yes you are oversimplifying

stansburycoug

Apr 19, 10:12am

He was playing on one leg. Athleticism isn't his game but he's a crafty scorer..

icecougar

Apr 19, 10:16am

I'm sure individual players jockeying for more money from a limited pool

runnincoug

Apr 19, 7:50am

It needs all the contracts, obligations, and caps of a professional sport then

If BYU can’t keep prototype BYU RM guys named Dallin…I don’t know what to

Iman23

Apr 19, 7:52am

Yep...we are screwed if we can't keep RMs named Dallin who are barely top 100

Lifer

"cheering for laundry"

Bobber

I'm told the reason Hall was asking for 600K is that he felt players should be

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

Apr 19, 7:52am

I actually heard it was the number

Blue2thebone

Apr 19, 8:51am

That's good

TNT

Apr 19, 8:55am

Pro sports where everyone is a free agent every year would suck

FatThor

Apr 19, 7:53am

Ever since Ashworth visited last year before signing with Creighton

RockyBalboa

Apr 19, 7:55am

The same ashworth that I saw on tv helping his team actually win a tournament

Ojiisan

IGlowInTheDark

Apr 19, 9:40am

Ashworth made the best choice for him

RockyBalboa

Apr 19, 9:41am

we should always be looking to upgrade with players in the portal. CB often...

icecougar

Apr 19, 10:23am

Sucks. Can't say I wouldnt do the exact same if I was them tho

Lifer

Apr 19, 8:17am

But doesn't he know our coach is an NBA assistant??? That's what really matters!

gangbusters

Apr 19, 7:59am

Can't blame him. Unlikely to make out in the nba. Might as well get paid now

Covid-19

Apr 19, 8:00am

Doesn't mean it doesn't suck as fans though

TNT

Apr 19, 8:55am

“Unlikely” is still an overstatement

reagan21

Apr 19, 10:35am

I’m fine with NIL, but that AND the transfer portal with no sit out penalty

ballen

Apr 19, 8:05am

Yes, and need a cap

palangi

Apr 19, 8:49am

Paying these kids big $ is fine with me….once there are actual contracts in place.

cougXor

Apr 19, 8:20am

Agree 100%. I’m okay with NIL in principle

mjmill

Apr 19, 8:38am

Sounds pretty spot on. Creighton #1 fan is Warren Buffett. They get who they want.

roseyscenario

Apr 19, 8:20am

If we're really in the big boys club now, pay DH what he wants. We need him

AF_Puma

Apr 19, 8:21am

Dick Harmon?

KCFan85

Apr 19, 8:36am

Does he have any eligibility left? 😉

AF_Puma

Apr 19, 9:14am

If you can't pay your best player 300k, they will transfer every year

ochobeeguy

Apr 19, 9:09am

Wow maybe I can get paid for my one inch vertical too

MrSandman

Apr 19, 8:51am

NBA vs NIL

Conquistador

Apr 19, 9:01am

Do these kids who will never make it in the NBA

BYUJoJo

Apr 19, 9:56am

Let's assume $300k/year for 3 years of play.

Madam Pattirini

Apr 19, 10:10am

I can't fault Dallin Hall or others for wanting to get paid

BYU Fan

Apr 19, 10:29am

If it’s just power conference athletics that are pro leagues, let’s go back to

Cooouuugs

Apr 19, 10:24am

NCAA sports is now professionals with no contracts & unlimited free agency

BYU Fan

Apr 19, 10:25am

Exactly! And how is that sustainable?

BYUJoJo

Apr 19, 10:29am

Somehow we hope limited schollie spots & limited playing time keep us non-elite teams relevant.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 10:34am

Your operative word is, "hope."

BYUJoJo

Apr 19, 10:44am

In so bleak a situation — I can't muster anything stronger.

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 10:52am

And maybe the atmosphere at BYU and its affiliation

BYUJoJo

Apr 19, 10:46am

The internet has made us more viable to a wider range of kids. Our fanbase is key if we live

SinkingQuffa

Apr 19, 10:55am

that is crazy money...

Hill4Heisman

Apr 19, 11:26am

Hall will get 150-200K this year from BYU with potential for more his Sr year if

bigbossbyu

Apr 19, 11:32am

I wonder what how Khalifa has navigated around all the VISA stuff.

BackPacker

Apr 19, 12:43pm

If we just paid $30M for a coach, why are we concerned about paying

andrewg3

Apr 19, 12:55pm

Let Hall walk then. He’s not worth it

bookofdaniel

Apr 19, 3:01pm

I hated NIL from day 1 and it's just as bad as I imagined, maybe worse.

zonacougar

Apr 19, 3:07pm

Hall is worth it. Hope he chooses to return to BYU. Biggest reason Cougs had such a good year.
