A little of base, but somewhat related, I grew up and live near the beach and like to wear a Hawaiian shirt brand, Reyn Spooner. They make shirts with different university logos. For some reason they still don’t make any for Utah. They do for 10 of the Big 12 schools including Colorado, Cincinnati and West Virginia. But no Utah, BYU, UCF, Baylor, TCU or Houston. I’ve wondered if they just don’t see Utah as a strong market or is it something else? (Hard to believe that Cincinnati West Virginia or Iowa State are big markets). Maybe the university hard to deal with on licensing?

I’m wondering how often this is updated. Some of those teams might have interest right now because of what they are doing recently in different sports. Like Coastal Carolina in baseball and I believe Cornell just won the Lacrosse championship.

Barrio Brewing is a funky brewery. Also like Dragoon Brewing. Their taproom is barebones warehouse brewery, but their IPA is great and on quite a few taps around town. We enjoyed El Cortez restaurant. It’s been there a long time.

The original problem that I have always heard with the PAC-12’s current deal was the lack of access to watching the games. Pac-12 network was not on Directv, so much harder to get that network. I pay around $40 a month to have Slingtv solely to watch the Utes football and basketball then cancel. And from what I read-and this is purely conjecture as no one knows at this point what a deal with Apple might look like-you would need to subscribe to Apple and then subscribe to a season pass, similar to what they’ll do with the MLS rights they now have. Seems like a lot of barriers to watching Pac-12 games especially for future recruits who want to be on tv. So beyond the money aspect it may make Pac 12 schools less competitive when future recruits can grow up watching Big 10, SEC and Big 12 games every Saturday by channel surfing Fox, ESPN and the networks.
