Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
A coworker shared this episode of the ALL BALL podcast with Jerrod Calhoun: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1-the-do ... 256816792/
At roughly the 48 minute mark Calhoun says, "Today there's fourteen guys on my roster. Eight of them have been contacted by NIL agents. Eight of the fourteen. Various schools have tried to try to get involved, right one being not too far from here. It's totally out of control. It's off the rails."
And then later at the 50 minute mark he talks about how it is unethical to talk to players during the season, "You know, we have two really good players that are trying to be poached now."
I'm thinking BYU has their eyes on Drake Allen and Mason Falslev, and they've already made contact mid season. I highly doubt it's any other school in the state. BYU has virtually unlimited NIL funds with donors like Danny Ainge and Ryan Smith. And they've recently had allegations made against them of tampering with recruiting in football.
I agree with Calhoun. NIL is off the rails right now. It's the wild west and there needs to be some more structure around it.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
I was just going to post about this. Pretty crazy that byu the school with unlimited money and resources is coming after players from such a "small" school like Utah State. Everyone was so high on their team and their future and how successful they were going to be, it's mind blowing that they would even need any of our players with all of these lottery picks they have there!!

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
Unfortunately, BYU is learning quickly that teams loaded down with just talented 18 year olds don't often make deep tournament runs. Those guys certainly help, but you need some older veterans to compliment those guys. They absolutely need players like Falslev on their team.ustateaggies1 wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 12:01 pmI was just going to post about this.

byu has been contacting Mason. I'm curious if the timeline of the contact begining coincides with his free throw trouble.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
You are spot on, you need veteran players as well. Look at what Calhoun compiled, he brought in very seasoned transfers in Allen, Albury, Akanno and Gatereste. You obviously need to some younger up and comers but having experience at this level is paramount IMO.3rdGenAggie wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 12:06 pmUnfortunately, BYU is learning quickly that teams loaded down with just talented 18 year olds don't often make deep tournament runs.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
It pisses me off because I know a lot of butt fans and none of them realize that their coaches, AD, and boosters are playing a dirty poaching game. Most of them also don’t realize that it’s them that won’t schedule us. Whenever I point these things out to them they are always pretty upset because they are typically church members that think butt should follow the rules and be ethical like the church teaches. I think if the church leaders actually got word of this then their athletic department would be shut down in a hurry.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
I am saying it brought a ton of attention to BYU basketball. So unless you are hiding under a rock as an LDS leader you would be paying attention.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
I’m glad JC is facing the issue head on by recruiting our own players mid season. I think Danny was doing the same thing though, only difference was it was to the Pacific Northwest!!

Coaches are in a precarious situation when it comes to poaching.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
The only reason why butt has an athletic program is to help bring attention to the church. They are totally fine with that. I assume that they don’t realize all of the poaching that is going on behind the scenes. Just like the majority of butt’s fanbase doesn’t. Technically they aren’t even breaking the rules because it’s just NIL agents reaching out to players and not the coaches themselves. It is definitely unethical though.TrueAG wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 12:39 pmI am saying it brought a ton of attention to BYU basketball.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
The problem is that it's being done in ways that can't be confirmed. Everyone is doing it through 3rd parties, or using some other loophole. I think that not only would it be too complicated to set up rules to close all loopholes, but the NCAA also no longer has teeth (or even dentures). Player contracts is the best way forward. It will protect the schools/teams, as well as the players, and bring stability.FromLItoLogan wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 12:53 pmIf he publicly confirms it and leads to a penalty to byu just build the statue now.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
More and more coaches are talking about this, but what is preventing schools or collectives from establishing multi-year NIL contracts with buyouts today? The players are all moving toward signing with agents already. Let them earn their money with something binding.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
No offense intended here whatsoever, but you're putting way too much faith in the LDS church leadership on this issue. Not only would they not do that for fear of upsetting the masses, I think they welcome the attention it brings their church. I would venture that a good number of the LDS church's upper brethren are sports fans and byu-p fans themselves. I also don't think they're naive to the facts this is going on: it's mentioned everywhere.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
Only a matter of time before they do these buyouts and contracts. It's all the legality side of it now and who will be the first school to "pioneer" this idea per say. Lot of moving pieces that are happening and I think schools are mainly trying to play catch up on this all especially the mid-level schools.AgTime wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 1:27 pmMore and more coaches are talking about this, but what is preventing schools or collectives from establishing multi-year NIL contracts with buyouts today? The players are all moving toward signing with agents already. Let them earn their money with something binding.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
It's known that coaches usually won't turn in schools out of fear that it would hurt their chances of being hired by that school down the road. But you would think that given JC'S inability to ever be the head coach at BYU and the spot he had risen to on the coach totem pole, he should at least be willing to turn in BYU unless he thinks he will have a few bad years and be begging BYU for an assistant job.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
Unfortunately I think you are correct. Way too many of the leadership are alumni of this school and won't ever think of harming that stupid athletic program. It stems beyond the main leadership body as well. There are mission presidents out there doing their best to convince kids to attend ybu and give up scholarships at other schools. It blows my mind at the lines that are crossed in these situations. Pisses me off unbelievably and I'm an active participating member.Aggies1888 wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 1:42 pmNo offense intended here whatsoever, but you're putting way too much faith in the LDS church leadership on this issue. Not only would they not do that for fear of upsetting the masses, I think they welcome the attention it brings their church.

Re: Calhoun talking about NIL and player poaching
Isn't it a good sign that Mason hasn't kept these poaching attempts secret? I'd be a lot more worried if he hadn't spoke up. But we better be prepared to increase his NIL this offseason.aggies22 wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 12:55 pmCoaches are in a precarious situation when it comes to poaching. The coaching fraternity can be very close-knit, and it's tough to turn in another coach or program.FromLItoLogan wrote: ↑January 14th, 2025, 12:53 pmIf he publicly confirms it and leads to a penalty to byu just build the statue now.
