My primary concern with NIL is that players now are ONLY about money. I don’t blame them at all (especially since a lot of these guys won’t go pro so get all the money you can while you can), but it makes it easy to be concerned about the bigger/long-term picture.

This current environment made NICK SABAN of all people retire. If there was ever a…[Read more]

“game center” 😂

who is this byu clown zoobie boy? get off the Utehub. your sister wife is calling!

the last time he rode his Harley was on game center against Oregon and the got pistol whipped. Whitt needs to ride his Harley into the sunset now.

Sounds good to me. We can always hope.

I believe college athletes are only required to report their NIL deals to their schools and it appears that Isaac’s NIL deals have not been disclosed to the public. Does anyone have an inside source on this?

He was on the summer leadership counsel. I can’t remember if he was the first early enrollee that Utah had, certainly the most high profile at the time. Since that time an early enrollee Freshman has always been a representative on the leadership council (which is different than captains and includes reps from each class, the scout team, etc.)…[Read more]

Having JJ, Cam hands it off instead of scrambles playing Baylor, not getting his finger cut/dislocation and keeps playing and we are 8-0. What if … I stepped on a butterfly ;). But we pay JJ and Cam leaves, so we have Rose handing off to JJ and they stack the box and our qb throws a lot of interceptions and we are 4-4…

He has redshirted. He has 2 years of eligibility including this one, so he has next year left and can’t redshirt this year (although if he had not already redshirted, he could have at this point in the season – it’s 4 games or less).

If I had to guess teams with above average NIL money, may find themselves struggling with this problem more than teams with less money to work with because of the locker room rifts the disparity of NIL money is causing.

Examples:

Utah
Oklahoma State
UCLA
Florida State
Arkansas
Iowa
Wisconsin
TCU

I call for an audit! Just kidding-

To answer your question DataUte, this would need to be a breakaway semi-pro league. I know that nobody wants that, but we are already there. We are a semi pro league living in anarchy. A semi-pro league with guidelines would be much better than what we have now.

NIL will ruin college sports, soon i will find other past times

How much is IW’s NIL deal for this season?

Who is going to do this? NCAA? no. But I could see this type of concept gain traction when the P2 break away and form their own governance and rules (read SEC and B1G meeting a couple weeks ago to discuss how to mutually benefit each conference).

True. But Utah offense needs the defense to pitch a shutout or at most 7 points. So it isn’t typical.

In my 41 years on this planet I have worked for the majority of them. I have worked in all sorts of situations and while they are not D1 college football nothing can upset a staff more than people stepping out of their lane to work on others p…[Read more]

I suppose so. Keep on trying!
