      I’d be OK with USU taking some more tax payer money to steal Hill from Kalani

      Sad to hear. He has been through a lot the past couple years personally. G5 schools have taken a beating with nil and transfer portal. I always root for the Aggies and wish them the best.

      What is the issue with blake anderson? We know why Gary Anderson was let go. Could this be something similar?

        Looks like he was mishandling reports of sexual assault last year:

        Utah State University officials informed Head Football Coach Blake Anderson on Tuesday of their intent to terminate his employment agreement for actions taken in spring 2023. These actions violated both his employment agreement and university policy. Under his employment agreement Coach Anderson will have 14 days to respond.

        This decision comes after a thorough external review of alleged noncompliance with university policies that implement Title IX, which require full and timely reporting of disclosures of sexual misconduct — including domestic violence — and prohibit employees from investigating disclosures of sexual misconduct themselves.

        Associate Vice President & Deputy Athletic Director of External Affairs Jerry Bovee (Interim Athletic Director, 2023) and Utah State Football Director of Player Development & Community Austin Albrecht have also been dismissed for violations of university policies related to the reporting of sexual and domestic violence and failures of professional responsibilities.

          Wow, Bovee was the fb coach and athletic director at Weber earlier in his career. Sounds pretty bad. Hope they don’t take Hill from BYU, but I could see Jay being successful in logan. Maybe they bring back Matt Wells.
