  • All this talk about moving to the Big10 is nothing but hot air. The Big10 added Maryland and Rutgers for one simple reason: Money. It put the channel on the basic tier in NYC and DC markets. They get 53 cents per subscriber. Compare that to the PAC channel at 13 cents. They added the LA schools for the same reason and to a lesser extent the…[Read more]

  • Every team suffers injuries during the season. Look at BYU. Their top two RBs miss multiple games. Their offensive line has been shuffled this season. Hard to blame a coach when every other team goes through this during the year.

  • Wilson is playing like most freshman play. He has some talent but his size is a negative. He tries to make what I call “High school” plays.

He will have to learn what he cannot do.…[Read more]

    Here is the problem with your analysis. Unfortunately, the west coast has very little interest in college sports these days. The professional teams suck up the money and the fanbase. Think what the hit would be if Salt Lake had a professional football team. The Jazz have poached the corporate tickets that used to go to Utah games.

    A few fans and some pals in the media have made some very serious accusations about Smith and NIL agreements.  I would be very careful making such charges without concrete proof.  Smith may be a public figure but statements like those can lead to a defamation lawsuit.
    I would compare this to Adam Schiff saying he had absolute proof that the Trump…[Read more]
