The problem with comparing college athletes with salaried employees of any industry, is that no one pays money to watch the salaried employees go about their business. Athletes are more akin to entertainers (singers, actors, comedians, etc..) in that their value is completely based on the number of eyeballs that they bring in. Just look at all…[Read more]

I would agree with all that, especially the IRS part. You have to believe that somewhere soon down the line, the IRS will take an interest in all of these “kids” making hundreds of thousands of dollars. How much do you want to make a bet that quite a few of these guys, a lot of which have probably never had a job except for sports in their…[Read more]

Very true, but I believe there are some good wins in their that can still contribute.

Tanuvasa, is probably the worse, but we have other players that will step up and replace him!

The other two have never played a down of football for Utah, so we really won’t know if it will be impacting or not. We have other players that can contribute, and if Singer comes back, it will be a plus!

That’s the post of the month…

The number that returns is the number that couldn’t get more dough from elsewhere.

Thank you for the input Loyter!! I will see what we can do. LOL

I just saw that 3 star QB Darian Mensah got a 8 million dollar deal from Duke for the next two seasons. What is happening?!?!

I’m a bit late to this post, but I think you’ll have to come down on your pricing a bit to get people to watch this team.

I am pretty sure he will end up at USC. They just lost Bear Alexander to Oregon and have a huge hole to fill and a lot more cash than we have. My question is what is Tanuvasa going to do at another school where they need to compensate him for the use of his name, image, or likeness? What is he going to be doing to earn the money? NIL has…[Read more]

I’m sorry, but if I make a commitment to a company and then another comes along and offers me more, I DO NOT chase the money, especially if I publicly announce I am committed to the current company. This is a total lack of integrity. I hope these kids read this HUB and see what the fans think of their so-called commitment.

I don’t know how this works. Can another school contact athletes that are not in the portal and make offers? Can an athlete contact other schools to gain an offer without entering the portal? Oddly, this only gets under control when the schools with the most money become convinced it needs control.

Absolutely. The people who openly post on social media about scriptures and religion are often using it as a shield for criticism, as a facade for being a good person, and to feign moral superiority. Doesn’t mean all religious people are bad by any means, but the genuinely good religious people usually don’t spout their beliefs online and then act…[Read more]

It’s over. I’ve been as optimistic a fan as there is over the years. The Power conference roster we’ve built over the last 15 years is being reduced to a G5 roster piece by piece. Wake me when all the dust settles and we’re either in or out of the club. If we’re out, so am I. If we’re in, I’ll be a slightly more than casual fan that will lean more…[Read more]

Like I said earlier, I’ll never fault someone for taking care of themselves. And the system sucks.

But fuck em. I don’t have to like them either. Especially this kid. 3 star kid, not a star. Goes on a mission. Most schools tell kids like this to fuck off. Utah doesn’t. Stays in contact. Works with him. Has a system in place to get his body right…[Read more]

Does anyone on the roster even matter until game day when the season kicks off on Aug 30? Even then, players quite mid season.

I can’t imagine how frustrating this is for coaches. This is the new age of college football. The best way to protest is to not watch or buy tickets.

What I’ve learned doing business around the country and especially in Utah:

If they talk about their Jesus or scriptures or have “light the world” bullshit or scriptures posted around…

Those are the snakes. Those are the ones that are in it for themselves and while they may do the job you pay them to do, it will be bare minimum and they will…[Read more]

Until some kind of rules are put in place, I don’t know why I, as a fan, should really take much of an interest any longer. I hate to be that guy, but the roster shuffling along with the greed is really killing my interest.
