Suspend him to deliver $ penalty, don't cut him to deny him opportunities

Why? This change does nothing to my interest in the Ryder Cup

chilawcoug

8:02am

What makes you believe that, if anything it seems to be picking up in popularity

Because of the perception of its now about money.

I don’t think a flat $200,000, which is less than most of these players make in

Maybe so, but the 2025 is Ryder cup is setting up to be the biggest one of all time. There’s already mass hysteria

Some observations from the game Saturday:

macdizzle

7:50am

Crawford didn't play at Stanford a year?

Covid-19

7:53am

No

Indy Coug

7:53am

Good, makes me feel even better about him

Covid-19

8:14am

Catchings has a ton of potential, but he needs to learn how to earn and take good shots

Indy Coug

7:53am

Yeah he needs to play but his efficiency has been poor so far.

JuicyJam

7:58am

Feels like he doesn’t trust his ability to be physical

Zombre

8:05am

And needs to slash to the basket without the ball and drive more. His spin and drive on the inbounds was awesome.

GoodBetterBestBYU

8:24am

part of me wonders that in high school it was too easy for him

bald man

8:31am

On your Knell point: agreed, but don't understand how people ever thought

oxcoug

8:02am

Agreed, two really coaches are high on Knell, but many on CB aren’t. He doesn’t get his face caved in like Richie

GoodBetterBestBYU

8:26am

Catching is 3rd in minutes per game at 25.5.

Spiff

8:10am

The upside for Crawford is very, very high.

bald man

8:29am

I noticed it, and now I can't not notice how short Knells arms are. T-rex arms.

pinolero

8:30am

Knell's been playing very well overall — & splendidly at his main role of finding his screens & hitting open shots

SinkingQuffa

8:33am

He actually got to the basket at times in Big 12 play

puntersarepeople

8:37am

Yes, WHEN the opportunity arises he needs to take that. So long as he's not forcing the issue (like we NEED from others)

SinkingQuffa

8:39am

Move the portal window

Longseason

7:36am

Move it to when?

BigTex

7:38am

After the season

fattycoug

7:40am

It’s the only thing that makes sense. Can’t do it during the season

Borg

7:41am

It makes little sense from an academic standpoint

RGGeemer

7:42am

Yep, and they are still students

Littlerich

7:43am

They are essentially pros. Missing a semester or making a mil is a no brainer

Borg

7:48am

That’s both a non sequitir and a strawman.

chilawcoug

7:49am

No. It’s obviously the only thing that matters to these guys else they wouldn’t

Borg

7:50am

Twice in a row. Impressive again

chilawcoug

7:51am

Not everyone is leaving for money

fattycoug

I would venture the majority are

Borg

8:19am

Quite wrong. The well known ones are leaving for $$. The vast majority will not

NYC and Japan

8:33am

The number who are "making a mil" is miniscule

NGB

7:50am

Then the athletes are screwed with the academic year

7:42am

Yep. They have to drop out of the old school (have to enroll for the new

chilawcoug

7:45am

They can dry their tears with hundred dollar bills. It’s not about academics.

Borg

7:49am

If you had read my post, you’d know I never said it was about school

chilawcoug

7:50am

If the portal opens mid Jan (after NC game) …they can still make it

Borg

7:52am

Only at some schools, and only if they enter, get offers, make decision

chilawcoug

7:53am

Hmm…I guess there are risks hitting the portal. Guess the grass isn’t always

Borg

7:56am

I know you are already on your condescending high horse so whatever I say

chilawcoug

7:58am

I hope they do bust up the current system with an anti trust lawsuit. What’s

Borg

8:13am

Okay so you admit your proposed system won’t work. Got it.

chilawcoug

8:16am

Academics are still part of it though. Players can be suspended for poor grades. If you’re arguing that college sports

7:51am

Do players enroll in Spring semester if they plan to leave in the portal?

Borg

7:53am

They have to enroll in the school they will be attending if they want to participate in spring ball

7:57am

Can’t they transfer after the season is over and finish the semester and then

ballen

7:51am

If my season ended in Dec. And I’m hitting the portal. Why would I enroll in

7:55am

Wait now you want a variable window depending on the team?

Make it so that if they enter the portal before the end of the season, including

This is what Deliingham was talking about. He told his guys they can enter the transfer portal, but he still wants

P-Boy Squad

7:42am

The bigger problem is timing of the playoff/bowls. School starts in January.

chilawcoug

Don't most schools allow transfers at the beginning of the quarter (mid-semester

thewaterboy

7:45am

Some do, some don’t. And even for those who do, it’s not always in time for

chilawcoug

7:46am

In addition, one portal entry a year might be susceptible to antitrust claims

chilawcoug

7:46am

There's already a spring portal. They need to lengthen the time on that one and

thewaterboy

7:43am

Reinstate sitting out a year and move the portal dates

Indy Coug

7:46am

They’d have to make athletes employees and collectively bargain that restriction

chilawcoug

7:47am

the settlement with congress already paved the way to make athletes employees

Saxa

8:01am

Settlement with Congress? What do you mean?

chilawcoug

8:03am

I really wish this rule came back.

TADOW

Athletes sued and the courts got rid of it. Not much the NCAA could do.

Tucson, closer to things that interest me

Covid-19

Tucson is a dump. And has more traffic than it should because no freeway. Also,

Is I-10 not a freeway?

BYUtka

It’s a freeway that doesn’t really serve most people trying to navigate Tucson.

Hopefully it takes his play to the next level. Like Seljaas’s stache/mullet combo in 2020

keithcoug

Hey Dawson: Just cut your turnover rate down to where Trevin now has his, and your game becomes legit.

Big part of his TO rate is what the coaches/team is asking him to do
