Jason Shelley did really well at his FCS school. He transferred to USU first and did not last his first season there. Then went to the FCS and tore it up.

Yeah, although John ,Sr. did donate to Ute athletics, and he seemed to be more prudent with his money. As fans, it would be nice to see Ute boosters spend like Smith, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s probably better to be more like Mr. Huntsman. I’m sure Smith has his philanthropic endeavors, too.

[Central Coast Ute]

Are there any Ute boosters with that kind of money? Maybe the Huntsmans? I don’t know how much any of them are worth, but Smith definitely seems to have more based on his spending habits.

ESPN and Fox have all the money and will be paying the bills so the presidents will take a back seat to them. At least that’s what we’ve seen so far in realignment. The presidents care about money more. Stanford can say the same things as Vandy except they’re in a much bigger state. They didn’t get invited in this last round either. Doesn’t mean they won’t in the future, but none of what you said really matters in the end. Rice is another example of a fine institution in a good market that has never been included.

[Central Coast Ute]

That was a ridiculous statement by him. There isn’t a team in the B12 that wouldn’t leave if invited to the B1G. They wouldn’t consider anything at all. They’d say yes immediately.

So far, I’m not shocked by anyone. I wasn’t expecting Faaiu but when i heard shocked, i would have thought of a full time starter

When someone talks about Smith, money, and BYU, it’s Ryan Smith, not Craig Smith.

I’m with you, which is why I find this hilarious. Whitt has been in the game long enough that he knows people who know things. Nothing Whitt has said has been wrong. What’s funny is this guy has been dunking on Whitt for speaking only the truth, and now there are reports coming from outside of Utah, and it’s not just about Utah, but also TCU. So, like you said, he has to speak about it for content and it’s killing him so he has to throw in the “crazy uncle kyle” remarks and then say he doesnt think it will happen. He even says he doesn’t think anyone would leave the B12 because it’s a weaker league. Why does he think UT, OU USC, and UCLA left their weaker leagues? This kid is weird indeed. I think he’s mad that Utah is the new kid but already in B12 title conversations. It kinda blows up the stupid narrative that the P12 was a weak league.

I personally dont see anything happening right away, but when the dust settles, most of the B12 will be in a bad spot, but Utah will be in a good spot.

[Central Coast Ute]

Agreed. I live in California and would be able to attend games when they play USC and UCLA.

I would definitely support it. If it happens, it won’t be any time soon. I also don’t think it will be to the B1G per se. My belief is that everyone will officially quit their leagues, and they’ll create one league with the teams they want. Meaning Vandy, Purdue, etc will be gone.
