I doubt we had any extra money for a punter. He has a chance to make some$$ and play in the SEC and a possible playoff run. Can’t blame him.

Well, he will only punt about 25% as much as he did here.

This has to be all about money.

No A’s for any of them unless we have at least a 70% TD success rate inside the Red Zone.

Maybe, maybe not. How good of friends are Beck and Scalley. Given the choice between working with your good friend or going back to your alma mater, I think a lot of people would choose to continue working with their friend.

Well he isn’t leaving for lack of playing time.

I remember hearing a radio interview he did shortly after his Utah career ended, and he was trashing Utah while praising BYU. Definitely changed my view of him.

Agreed. I’d definitely welcome him back if I were whitt and our collective, but only at the NIL he was originally given. If he wants more or else he’s gone, then let him leave.

I agree. The offensive line was about the ONLY positive on that side of the ball this season. Lomu and Fano are complete studs. Harding is a very good offensive line coach.

Yeah I ain’t begging anyone.

Didn’t Trevor bad mouth the program after he left? I vaguely remember something.

Texas has a massive NIL. I’m guessing they can easily afford to pay a punter. Schools like us must be more conservative with monies.

He committed to Texas

I saw that Boumeister is taking a visit to Texas. Not sure if they have offered him yet but would assume he is not coming back.

I think someone wanting to be his agent got in his ear telling him he could make double if he went to the TP, without any actual offers to back it up.

Jake Murphy is offering to act on these kids’ behalfs for free because of all the shadyness going on in the TP this year. “agents” taking 20-30% on deals they try to line up for these…[Read more]

If there was no consequence why wouldn’t every talented player test the market to see if they can make more. Can you imagine open free agency in the NFL. Time for a super league college football conference with contracts and salary caps.

Agree w/ this. Utah has limited resources and we just have to trust that the program allocates them in the best way possible for the team. Would love to have Calhoun back if it works out.

Hopefully, the coaches are smarter in how they allocate NIL going forward. I still don’t fault them for bringing Cam back b/c we’d be in the playoff if he…[Read more]

This – testing the market, but down deep, would rather stay if they can get that ‘value’.

I wonder how many of these players have no intentions on leaving but join the portal to get more NIL from their current team?
