Initially the big schools are going to have a boom in talent. This will lead to a less competitive environment and damage the product. When the product is diminished advertisers will be paying less and boosters will find themselves subsidizing the programs more than ever. At this point only the programs with the most built in advantages and boosters with the deepest pockets will remain competetive. So while the top 6 or 7 programs maintain their advantage the question becomes at what point will the disadvantage teams form a seperate more competitive and enjoyable division?

I don’t have a problem if the top teams want to split off and form a semi pro club league, that’s their business. I just hope Utah doesn’t try to be part of it because I don’t believe they could win in that environment.

I think the ideal situation would be revenue sharing. If a player sale’s his likeness he gets a percentage and the rest is divided appropriately among all players and schools. Teams like Utah could remain competitive in that system and players could get fair compensation.

It’s going to suck for at least another year probably longer. If anything what we’re going through now is a good fire drill. It’s just to bad it seems like that fire drill is being lead by Fire Marshal Bill.

I’m going to pretend like you actually care about the down votes and give you some advice.

Try not opening with, “How’s it going in the Utah bubble.”

A Utah fan would understand the negative connotations of refering to something as a bubble. You either did that intentionally or you don’t understand why it’s bothersome thus exposing yourself for the pretender you are. Hope your neighbor pulls through.

You make good points and I respect them. Still, aren’t we quite the fools, bringing the topic of abortion into a subject that was already convoluted enough. Thanks Pace

But covid 19 doesn’t increase the chance of suffering a gun shot like it does heart attack.

I can think of a way a gun shot victim could die from covid 19 though. It’s a stretch but it is possible. Say you take an otherwise non lethal shot to the leg but your body, weakened by disease, can’t fight the infection caused by tiny bullet fragments that remain in your body. Two days later you die from an infection that you would normally fight off but couldn’t due to your weakened state. 

People do survive heart attacks so the question that has to be answered is, would the heart attack have killed them if not for their weakened state? It’s a difficult question and you can’t say for certain but I think if it is a question than it’s fair to report it as a covid 19 caused death.

The war on flu is more of an intervention than a war but we do fight it every year. The flu would kill far less people if we gave it more effort and resources. It’s a war we could win but for some reason it’s viewed as not worth the effort. I’m glad people like you haven’t been allowed to convince us to fight Covid 19 in the same half ass way we fight the flu.

So if an HIV patient developed AIDS and than died from covid 19 due to their weakened immune system, would you say they died from AIDS or Covid 19? 

The point of the lockdowns is to prevent those “final straws” from happening. Because we can treat many of the pre existing conditions without them causing death in the near future. Problem is, the treatment is compromised by a Covid 19 infection and that causes death in a person that otherwise had a decent chance of a substantial amount of life still to come.

The heart attack patient did die from Covid 19 in the same way the suicide patient died due to economic causes.

I’ll honor your position on abortion and ask you to use the same pro life philosophies in respect to disease. Why is a fetus so vulnerable and deserving of protections even at the cost of government restricting people but that same government taking restrictive measures to protect vulnerable people from covid 19 so objectionable to a pro life person?

[BulgieUte]

In case you haven’t noticed, covid 19 has permeated all facets of life. Why would Ute Hub be different?

What else is there? Your kidding yourself if you think there’s any real sports news to talk about.
