As a Miami guy, I’m obviously not a Bills’ fan but I really wish Cole and Dalton nothing but the best come Sunday.

At the end of the day who cares? Give me guys who want to be a Ute! If Snowden wants to go to BYU for extra money then so be it! Snowden won’t fix their O line or D line which is by far their biggest area of need going into next year.

With or without Snowden, Utah will have a top 25 defense …

The issues for Utah falls completely on their hea…[Read more]

The interesting part of the story is that I had to make the decision on a Monday. On the Saturday night before, the wife and I did an analysis of Stay vs Go. We wrote in the margin everything we could think of, house, neighborhood, job, church, friends, town, money, etc. etc. We ranked them all 1-10, and at the end of the list when we totaled…[Read more]

I have had two similar experiences. Both times I left a company strictly for an increase in pay. Both times I didn’t care if the working conditions and responsibilities would make me happier. Both times I was miserable and regretted the decision.

On another occasion, I left a company that included a nice salary increase, but that wasn’t the…[Read more]

Ever so true. The lessons we learn at the school of hard knocks but we all know you can talk to a kid until you are blue in the face and they will do just the opposite.

I did that once in my career, wasn’t quite double but it was nearly a 70% increase, and within one year I was on the cusp of cracking 6 figures. I wasn’t even 30 years old yet, so it was pretty exciting. But after 18 months, I left to return to my prior company for a different, not nearly as good of a position for a 20% pay cut because I was…[Read more]

Good points. Isn’t there an independent source that sets player values based on position and past performance? If I have 5 employees doing the same job and one makes double the other 4 that creates issues.

Utah pays market value. They have a policy of not overpaying and it not because they don’t have it. Utah’s NIL fund is in the top half of the Big12.

BYU on the other hand will way over pay to get players especially if they come from Utah.

Over paying players creates discord between players and between players and coaches and boosters.

Go after LJ Martin and even if you don’t get him they will have to pay up to keep him. Good point steel. As my dad would “give them a taste of their own medicine”

Yeah, if this isn’t resolved in some meaningful way soon then I’m gonna bail. I’m quickly losing interest in college sports.

Why not go after their guys?! They want to play dirty- let’s out dirty them. Go after their biggest playmaker? Or raise the prices on their nil donors.

Yeah, we are firmly middle of the pack. I think the only question is whether we are bottom middle or middle-middle. We clearly don’t have the horses to be at the top of the conference even if RM was at the helm. I honestly think we could be top middle if Craig was a good coach. We could be in the mix with Baylor and West Virginia with the right…[Read more]

You can just stick to professional sports. I’m leaning in that direction myself.

good chance this is my last year of college sports, NIL has ruined it. time to find new hobbies!

Now they’re saying ohios budget was more like 30 million, but your point still stands.

From a Snowden standpoint, I think Utah has to match to set a precedent that this won’t keep happening. Only thing that worries me there is if the match causes discord in the locker room with NIL discrepancies (again).

Who else will they come after when spring semester ends? I doubt it will be just Snowden.

Thanks kindor. I think the tds finally got tired of playing second fiddle. They want to feel relevant again. They can bend the rules and buy their way in to success. As I spend more and more time at the Huntsman cancer hospital I realize how grateful I am that our big boosters (Huntsman and Eccles)spent their fortunes to help all of society and…[Read more]

This is dumb.

First, the PAC 12 dissolves for money and we have to join the same conference as TSPP.

Second, we all drink the Koolaid, then go on to have two of the most painful years I can remember, filled with injuries and inexcusable coaching.

Third, we have a football landscape where just when you get to know and like a player, he is…[Read more]
