If i were to move there, I’d aim for the Paradise Valley area, not sure i could afford it yet, but I love it. It is alone of the rich rich area.

Will be interesting to see what happens with Retzlaff. If he doesn’t play for BYU, they could end up having what happened to us last season.

You’re doing God’s work Tony.

I wonder if there is like an AI based tool or solution or something that can auto do this, like some open source thing on Github?

I’m not sure it will crash and burn but it will look very different.

The most likely outcome, IMO, is that a new governing body for the top level of CFB and that the players will be able to collectively bargain. Once this happens everything will be reigned in. Contacts will be enforceable, transfer rules set, payment models established, etc. And restrictions will be enforceable because the players will have agreed to them. At that point it will essentially be a professional sport.

What I think will be interesting to see are two things:

1. What happens to non profit making our even non revenue generating sports? My guess is that football and basketball become their own separate entities.

2. How does this effect FCS, D2, D3, and NAIA? Do these stay as cfb had always been? Where the players are just getting scholarships but they can also go out and get sponsorship /NIL deals?

I’ll simply take the QB being healthy for 10 games.

Wouldn’t be surprised, but to be fair, some of our fans on X do a plenty good job of doing that without BYU’s interference.

I was going to suggest reporting to Twitter and getting that acct taken down for spoofing the site, but apparently Uteshub.com is a thing and has Utes related stuff. Looks like a site that may be auto generated with scripts, pulls and posts latest videos and auto updates rankings or something.

They are trying to create something that will get the maximum number of viewers. If casual fans and fans of teams outside those conferences stopped watching them, it would make an impact. But it won’t happen.

And honestly, the only power we fans gave is to stop watching and engaging. I, for one, refuse to watch a Big-10 or SEC game. They are destroying sport, so I won’t watch them. Unfortunately, too many big12 or acc or other conference fans will watch.

I won’t blame any of you one bit if you abandoned college sports. You make excellent points about what each entity has the right ti do. For me, I enjoy watching the Utes so much that I’ll keep watching them, but that’s about it.

[AlohaUte]

Is that true about Oregon State?! Crazy.

And yeah, Utah is in some trouble if NIL doesn’t get regulated soon. BYU seems to have a the benefactors they need, but I don’t know that Utah does. Regardless, I’m trying to just be chill with it and enjoy Utah football. I’ll love my Utes, watch them, and cheer for them regardless of whether they are playing in the B1G, Big-12, Pac, or MWC.
