Hall in particular had MANY options, Duke, Creighton, you name it. I honestly don't know what the particulars were re: NIL deals etc (and it doesn't really matter), but there were many comments blasting them over it. Look, of course they went exploring deals, checked out the market, good for them. But for them to explore options and have many respected journalists say they are GONE, and for them to come back, IS HUGE for BYU. KY is having a heck of a run his first 2 weeks.

These pieces are crucial. They can mesh the new talent coming in, with what is needed in Big12 to succeed.
