      I don’t really watch college sports beyond Utah. So most of the time it is me seeing highlights in social media or something.
      I think that is the normal for most fans. I will watch games while waiting for Utah to come on and then maybe watch highlights to discuss things with my family or friends.
      It certainly is what it is. I don’t see it getting better or getting fix. Clearly it is a lot like most sports the billionaires and millionaires are having little hobbies now. You see the success the Jazz have had with their new money.

      College sports has always been unfair. It is self evident.

      Without a Collective Bargaining Agreement I don’t see how it gets any better. Problem with that is the players are going all around to different conferences and levels within college football. They only have to remain subject to the CBA for two years? I am not an expert but I think a lawyer would have problems with any contract.

      Which is why some super conferences deal needs to be in place. But frankly any school can sign kids to NIL so it doesn’t solve the problem completely.

      College football is dying. Which maybe it isn’t a terrible thing because it has always been based on a pretty unfair system.

      Seems fair glad they told him GTFO.

      Social media is really unkind to any sort of moral stance an organization attempts to profess anymore. It is just too easy to identify the cognitive dissonance in modernity.

      I find it hilarious that the Jazz are an absolute dumpster fire while Ryan Smith is investing all them millions in TSPP basketball.

      Sports in general unless it is my kids I just don’t care about much anymore. It really didn’t take me long either. I am glad that some kids are getting compensated for being talented and honing their talent. It is lame now.

      Goes without saying but you always hope it works out for these type of people in life. They want to earn what they get and try to stay humble. It is something that is viewed as admirable for sure. I hope he is compensated at least a little for this sort of value system.

      Blessing in disguise imo. He would run the completely wrong route. Maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt but I just don’t think he has the head for Football.

      The best players are smart with their money in the nba now. So these billionaires are connecting their players with ways to invest their funds. It goes beyond just what they are paid it is a new way of networking these guys.

      NBA is full of that mentality. I would say I am optimistic.

      I am really thinking about buying tickets to MBB for the first time since 2011. Alex Jensen is what I grew up with and a dream come true because he always seemed like an on court coach.
