Kudos to your wife Champ…the hooded wrap is most definitely a 10!
MDUte replied to the topic Another record setting year for Utah athletics revenues! in the forum Football 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Understood. My point is that Utah isn’t doing something unique. The overwhelming majority of public institutions all do it in a similar way.
MDUte replied to the topic Another record setting year for Utah athletics revenues! in the forum Football 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Every public institution operates in a similar way, charging “student fees” that gets routed to Athletics for such things as student section tickets to all athletic home events. And these fees are part of the annual budget every year that athletic departments know going into the year how much will be coming from this line item in the budget. Utah…[Read more]

MDUte replied to the topic College Football Realignment Dream Scenario in the forum Football 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Totally agree with you Proud. Chip Kelly’s comment about having all CFB teams go independent makes a lot of sense. This way all other college sports teams can remain regional. The only part about Chip Kelly’s idea I disagree with is the number of teams. Personally I prefer a top tier of CFB consisting of no more than 48 teams. Consolidating down…[Read more]
MDUte replied to the topic New Poll: Rate your excitement level for the Utes MBB playing in the NIT in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 month, 2 weeks ago
I voted “not excited” because I see this year as a failure. Craig Smith had the roster talent needed to make the NCAA Tournament this year but wasn’t able to get it done. The team lacked defense and rebounding all year which are both effort-based and controllable for a well-coached team.
I recognize that it’s good for the players to still have…[Read more]

Any of the following would cause a Zoob meltdown to occur that I’m not sure they’d ever recover from:
1) Utah winning a Natty in CFB
2) Utah player winning the Heisman
3) BYU’s sponsoring institution pulling the plug on athletics due to poor performance and waning fan support
4) Utah building a new stadium to match the new KGRZ and having it…[Read more]
MDUte started the topic Next basketball Head Coach – wish list in the forum Basketball (Men) 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Curious who people would like to have replace Craig Smith as the next Head Coach. As much as I’d love to see Alex Jensen take over, I don’t think he has any interest in coaching college basketball. I’m not sure if Johnnie Bryant is a possibility either.
But for me, I’d prefer to see Harlan hire away an assistant coach from one of the best…[Read more]

all of the information required to come to the correct conclusion is available to everyone.
That’s called an assumption. Thanks for finally admitting it.

Haha whatever dude. As I’ve already stated above, nobody is perfect…including Coach Whitt. But he’s BY FAR the best coach we could possibly have leading our football program, period end of story.
I’m glad you think you know all of these facts that nobody else knows. After getting all of the info that was available from insiders on 247 last…[Read more]
MDUte replied to the topic Now this is what I’m talking about!! Way to go Pres Randall! in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
But how could Utah negotiate out of this clause that all the other schools signed if they were so desperate for a life raft according to the Zoobs’ silly narrative?!
This is just further proof that Utah was the crown jewel of the 4 corner schools “dream scenario” for Yormark…and everyone knows it!!
MDUte replied to the topic Top CFB Head Coaches in the forum Football 1 month, 4 weeks ago
Mental gymnastics goes both ways. You assuming the worst with how Whitt managed the QB situation and what you think he could have or should have done is the exact same thing. You don’t know all the details and neither do I. So what good does it do to shout at the rain and throw Whitt under the bus? Does it make you feel better or something?…[Read more]

Good post and I stand corrected. Here’s a link to the media markets that shows which schools are associated with each market. SLC at #27 is comparable to Indianapolis at #25. Kentucky goes with Lexington which is small in comparison at #63. As you pointed out, Illinois shares Chicago #3 with a list of schools but the 2 B1G schools are Northwestern…[Read more]

If you read the article Staples defines his underlying assumptions for selection. He based his model on the assumption that both the B1G and SEC would be adding schools to their leagues vs what you are referring to which would be the biggest brands leaving the B1G and SEC and building an entirely new Super League. If it’s merely the B1G/SEC adding…[Read more]

Awesome, I like yours even better. But the one thing that makes this whole Super League concept so great IMO is cutting out the crappy, body bag games. As you said, every single week with each game played it would be nothing but great matchups and huge ratings. Season ticket holders would have to love this because there wouldn’t be one bad game on…[Read more]
MDUte replied to the topic Stewart Mandel's CFB Premier League in the forum Football 2 months, 1 week ago
Agreed, that would be ideal keeping Utah in the West division. But pretty cool to see Utah included in a model that is limited to only 28 teams.
I think any future Super League would have at least 32 teams and most likely 40. The closer to 40 and the more likely it seems Utah would be included.
