Sure, as long as playing what if’s count. I’m all in.

If Whitt’s staying, it will be his decision and his decision alone whether we like that or not. Morgan might be able to have some advice and input, but it’s still Whitt’s show.

5 days. Not even a full week. That’s how long it took to shift the blame for the performance of the offense this season from the coach who stepped down to the players.

It’s your team, own it, can’t blame Ludwig for the miserable performances that been represented on the field

“I find nothing contradictory with the statement by the BYU dude.”

He’s actually not a “BYU dude”. He’s a high-ranking church leader that has “stewardship” over BYU and other church educational endeavors – at least it appears to me.

You’re right in that BYU doesn’t directly pay. That isn’t the point.

The point is that the high-ranking church…[Read more]

Would Witt leaving help NIL funding- no.

Would Witt leaving make recruiting to Utah easier- no, it has always been hard.

Would Witt leaving put Utah into a better conference- no.

Would Witt leaving increase Utah’s athletic budget- no.

Is Utah’s next coach going to be better than Whitt- probably not given that Whitt has been Utah’s best coach,…[Read more]

Could get very ugly. The transfer from Real Madrid (hoops not soccer, and they are a damned good professional basketball squad considered to be one of the very best European teams) will likely be paid far more in Provo then he made with his former team.

College sports, in particular hoops, are going to be about which schools have donors/sponsors…[Read more]

Like many things the church says, it’s pretty two-faced and surface level. They are so desperate to project a certain image while their actions tell a different story.

Definitely wish Utah had NIL donors like Ainge and Smith seem to be becoming for BYU, especially for basketball, but let’s not pretend a future top-10 NBA draft pick would ever…[Read more]

No doubt one of the biggest issues, in hindsight, is that this season’s hopes were riding on a historically injury prone player to avoid an injury. Unfortunately, that was a statistical improbability.

Sounds about right. 3 mil to go somewhere good or 4.5 mil to go to BYU. Yep.

Maybe you can ask Tony to eliminate the “They So Poo Poo” category so we can pat ourselves on the back as we don’t “stoop down to their level”.

Come on, this is what the TSPP category is for. We actually don’t have too many posts in this category as compared to all the others.

I’ve been wrong before. Hopefully I’m wrong this time.

Lots of the criticisms here seem to be envy and a misunderstanding of NIL.

I think every fan base wishes they had a Phil Knight or Ryan Smith as a booster. I sure do. That said, I think NIL has caused my interest in college sports to diminish–I am still a HUGE fan, but my interest has certainly not increased since NIL. Because the genie is never…[Read more]

I doubt we find 20 pts per game. We have 1 good running back with nothing behind him, 1 decent freshman QB, an inconsistent offensive line… I don’t know. If we would have started the season off like this we could have pulled it off, but not mid season.

I’d be happy getting above the Ferentz line (25 ppg) We’re currently at 15.6 vs. P4 competition

It’s gone from the BYU experience and not paying players to here’s a few million and you only have to deal with our quirky rules for a year or less. Just sayin.

his just being nitpicky about your word usage. Pay to play is typically a phrase used for games/events that require you to pay to participate, or require you to pay to actually have a chance to compete (Again, as a player). Pay FOR play, according to BSC8 would mean teams paying players in exchange FOR them playing for BYU.

Its a useless…[Read more]

” just didn’t love that we started a thread about how TSPP is “breaking their own rules”

BYU fans trash LDS Ute fans all the time. When BYU “breaks their own rules” it is utter hypocrisy when their fans support it.

HC being the “closer” is exactly why Whitt should retire. Let Scalley be the closer with a new direction and energy. Ludwig resigning and disgruntled players are a crack in the armor of the culture that has been our best recruiting tool. Scalley is the coach in waiting to continue the culture Whitt has built (which in my opinion is his gre…[Read more]
