He might be affected by that junior college ruling associated with Diego Pavia. I know he was at Snow College before spending the last two seasons at Utah State.

You keep getting downvoted because you don’t understand Capitalism but blame it for everything you don’t like. “Unfettered Capitalism” is just Capitalism with an unnecessary adjective in front of it to make the speaker sound impressive. Just like Raw Milk is Milk.
Sports leagues by definition are Marxist, not Capitalist. Equal distribution…[Read more]

But do you think that universities will go along with what all of that entails? I’m not so sure. Universities weren’t created to provide entertainment for bystanders and employment for athletes, which is what all of this is. It’s a textbook case of mission creep and the tail wagging the dog. Personally, I believe that if things go that route,…[Read more]

It is not unfettered capitalism. If it was that, you’d already have a College Football League of 32 teams and everybody else pounding sand. Do you think if it was unfettered capitalism both the B1G and SEC would be filled with legacy bottom feeders like Miss St, Purdue, Vandy, Iowa, etc…? I think not…

Is it sad I came into this thread thinking it was the WR who committed to us and was going back into the portal…

I keep saying this and I keep getting downvoted, but this is unregulated capitalism.
Extract all value until it’s worthless then move on from the wreckage.
You need regulations to have something sustainable. You can’t just let corps (colleges/NIL’s) run free with no restraint.
This is such a great real world experiment of unfettered capitalism.

I think a matter of time before CFB’s NIL will burst into a thousand pieces. I don’t think it is sustainable long term as we are seeing negative affects it is having on college sports in general. NIL is destroying the integrity, ethics, and moral, specifically with football and spilling into basketball.
Significant effects could be felt if and…[Read more]

Mitchell signs with Arizona:
The UA has earned a commitment from former Utah rusher Mike Mitchell, who will have three seasons of eligibility remaining. He joins ex-Texas State running back Ismail Mahdi in a backfield that also includes returners Kedrick Reescano and Kayden Luke and incoming freshman Wesley Yarbrough.

Of course, why not.

Like who cares at this point. This dude never even took a class at Utah and probably won’t do anything at the college level. He’s addition by subtraction.

did someone forgot to tell him that Utah was guaranteed to have the #4 offense in the country next season?

Utah has offered Faison. He just also has offers from many P4 schools (Georgia among them)

The Miami Ute replied to the topic The portal has made bowl games a joke in the forum Football 1 week, 6 days ago
For sure bowls are irrelevant today. The only reason they exist is to provide content to the networks. In today’s brave new world, the only thing that matters is if you made the CFP. If you didn’t, then you’re second rate. Can anyone imagine the NFL putting on exhibition games for teams that didn’t make the playoffs? Neither can I…bowls are…[Read more]

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Faison from USU in the portal in the forum Football 1 week, 6 days ago
I saw USU twice in Logan this season and Faison excelled in both games. Not only is he a good rusher, he’s also dangerous catching balls out of the backfield. I’d take him without any questions.

The Miami Ute replied to the topic Fellow opinions on booing in the NIL Mercenary Era? in the forum Football 1 week, 6 days ago
I never boo my own team/players but I do get mad when a player makes a stupid mistake or displays what I perceive to be a lack of effort. This is a Pandora’s Box that players, the administrations, conferences, networks, media have opened, especially when you include the fact that online betting is endemic, and no one knows where we’re going to…[Read more]

With the portal open we were better
off not going to a bowl this year. Coaches can focus on recruiting instead of a meaningless game. -
ProudUte started the topic The portal has made bowl games a joke in the forum Football 1 week, 6 days ago
Some teams have lost 20+ players to the portal. Most good teams have players not playing because of the NFL draft. And some teams no longer have their coach and/or assistants
I thought Bowl games were fun back in the day. But, now they are a waste of time. The only meaningful games are the CFP games.
