tuned into some of the other NIT games, utah crowd looked decent compared to others.

Medium excited until I saw that the final four and championship will be held right here @ Butler (Indianapolis). A rare chance for me to see the Running Utes in action. Go Utes!

Player development is a little harder argument to make when it comes to NIT vs bowl games. Half the field in the NIT will be done in a couple of days. IF you make a deep run sure, but otherwise its just an extra few days. Bowl games give you a month of extra practice at least.

Not great. Browns also just signed Jameis Winston as back QB and are heavily invested in Watson. Would take a lot for Snoop to be the starter.

strange to transfer the day before the national final

So is this guy a serial killer? What’s with the three names? Only psychopaths do that.

[HoosierUte]

i don’t see any news about this guy.

Spot on. If this all goes down and Utah ends up on the outside that will mark the end of me caring at all about cfb. Much like the LIV drama has diminished my interest in the PGA. The question is then, if this all happens and Utah ends up in the group. What is the interest level? I’m almost morally conflicted about remaining a fan after half of the nation had their teams demoted for network profits. It will be interesting how it all plays out, I hope they don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater but it’s not looking good.

You are kidding yourself if you think the comparison is between SLC and Bloomington/West Lafayette/Champaign. Those are college towns that nobody stays in. The relevant market for IU is Indianapolis (my home) which easily supports an NFL team. The Illini market is Chicago. I would think that a Super League would take one of IU/Purdue, and one of Illinois/NW with the hope that the chosen team can consolidate the market. SLC is a smaller market with a smaller alumni base than each of those schools/cities. One thing that we have going for us is that SLC does not have an NFL team to compete with. This new mini-nfl may be looking for new football markets which plays in our favor. I really hope that we are included in the end. Either way its dumb and I hate it.

I think its pretty clear that Barnes understands that his days of playing QB are limited. Might as well milk it while it lasts. He has some local celebrity and can pile up some degrees. USU seems like a good spot even if he isn’t starting. Happy for the kid and wish him the best.
