If NIL World is about the creative movement of large amounts of money through non-profit organizations with little transparency, let's just say principal figures at BYU are competing with, for starters, a serious experience advantage.

I could see a future in which a School of Scientology becomes a D1 powerhouse in this environment and fields a team of burger boys every year.

All that $$ you give to get your Thetan levels up will do wonders for our basketball program!

Wow, I had to watch that twice. Seems to have the movements and feel that I saw in young MJ when he arrived at North Carolina. Looks strong, coordinated, and has the confident “it” factor. Does he have the skill? I haven’t seen enough of him to warrant the full comparison.

He is further ahead of Jordan, longer as well. Jordan just kept getting bigger and better. Dybansta reminds me of Wiggins at around the same time.

Love Sencire but had a long way to go offensively. DGL is showing signs of being a defensive stopper and has much more offensive game.

Quick shout-out, Sencire welcomed a baby a couple of days ago!

The amount of talent and minimal redundancy coming in has me thinking that a bunch of guys made the right decisions at the right time. Good for them, hopefully good for the beloved.

Delete. Ditto new regime at BYU recruiting well. (Demin... Catchings...)

Not surprising with the dough possessed by LDS church. However, no alcohol, tobacco (even CocaCola) on campus by the students might inhibit a few athletes.Especially a European like Demin who probably has been drinking watered-down wine since he was four....

But MONEY talks...for a while...then creature comfort takes over! Prepare for a Demin transfer to Champaign at semester??

Izzo is worth 13M and spent his career benefitting from having full control while being close to a major talent center & free labor.

He's upset that the system changed and he no longer has those built in talent advantages and that players now have power.

He is literally entirely wrong. And whiny.

He sounds OLD in that article. And that's good for the rest of the teams in the BIG because it means he's not adapting.

It makes me wonder where he gets it. I mean, the reason he makes 100 times what an average person makes isn't because he's put in his dues, it's because he works in an industry where he can produce a ton of revenue/value, and he's very good at what he does. Which is exactly why those young kids can make a lot of money. And they might go on to make 10 times MORE what even the best of them make now, in only a few years. Is he going to tell all sports leagues that those young'ns make too much?

Granted, I don't know the context for the article --maybe he said something that made sense in the interview, and it got taken out of context. I like Izzo --he's been the best coach in the league for a long, long time, and had a FF as recently as 2019, but it does seem to me he's behind the curve since the seismic changes.

It'll be interesting to see what the next few years are like at MSU.
