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

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)

Move it to when?

BigTex

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.

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

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

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

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

Borg

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

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

7:46am

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

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

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

Saxa

8:01am

Settlement with Congress? What do you mean?

chilawcoug

I really wish this rule came back.

TADOW

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

Ghost of Peanut

benny1982

8:27am

That is a "back up the brinks truck if you want me to play in the playoffs" move

JimmyZ

The easier answer is you let them opt out of the next season for the transfer
