If it isn’t all the Ryan Lacey coverage, it is the newly Woke Utah Jazz or their ramblings about whether or not the zoobs will have a season or not.  1280 the Zone’s morning show is unbearable and their afternoon drive time with Monson and Kermit the Frog is even worse.  Hans and Scotty are the only decent show they have now.  I mostly work from home now so I don’t tune them in very often but if I do, I usually switch over to SeriusXM pretty quicly.

My daughter played volleyball for St. Olaf College which was in the same D-III conference as St. Thomas.  In most sports St. Thomas basically dominated the schools in that conference.  It was kind of like that Seinfeld episode where Kramer was “dominating the dojo” and it was getting ridiculous both for the other schools in the conference but also for the athletes at St. Thomas.  Moving up will be a huge shock for them, especially in football, but it was well needed.

Or maybe there is no story?

Your questions are completely one sided in that there is no reward on the other side of the risk.  Your death rate is a bit high but we will use your numbers.  If you had the chance to get your college degree with all expenses paid and a possibility of becoming an NFL football player, would you reach your hand in that bag?  I bet 100 out of 100 college age athletes would reach into that bag.  But your analogy is even more lame because the probability of death for a college aged athlete is well below your 1 in 100 scenario. 

Just a pretty lame analogy to “prove” EagleMountainUte wrong when he didn’t even say it was “…good news for othe sports.”

He says stupid things.  No, wait, he doubles down on the stupid things he normally says.  The guy is a mindless troll with the same song on every post.

In football yes.  Hockey probably but not women’s volleyball any time soon!  They do have the advantage over most schools in that they are in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metroplex and a solid secondary alternative for kids not good enough for the Gophers or the Big Ten.

I won’t downvote you but the Buffs are not devoid of talent.  That has never been their issue.  Their coaching has been a trainwreck since we both moved into the conference but talent is not their problem.  I would take a 4* LB transfer from Colorado over almost any LB prospect in the state of Utah.

I think it is a financially excessive penalty and I would not be surprised to see him leave after this season, assuming we have one.
