Outside sources focused on issues associated with strength and conditioning. It’s not normal for any team to have so many injuries over such a prolonged period of time.

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.

Believe me, no one is crying for Alabama except for Alabama. They’re just p**sed that the stasis has changed and they no longer hold all of the cards. If the name of the game now is money, and it is, the only advantage that schools in poor states like Alabama have is the money they receive from the networks. For example, the Boulevard Collective (SMU), is second only to Division Street (Oregon) in the number of well-heeled members that can write check after check. The next phase of college football might signal the emergence of a number of odd bedfellows who rise to the top purely due to revenue streams not associated with network money and the demise of Bluebloods who can’t keep up in the spending arms race. Kind of like the Cold War where the US outspent the Soviet Union to death.

Troy Taylor’s offense seemed to generate an “ineligible receiver downfield” call every few plays. This seemed to really hamstring the offense at times. The O-line was always down field run-blocking when they shouldn’t have been. I associated that problem with RPO offenses in general, and was a little nervous about us running an RPO scheme again.

I looked at New Mexico’s stats, and they had almost twice as many penalty yards as we did last year (chalk that up to Bronco, hopefully), but I looked through the Arizona game play-by-play on the Arizona athletics website, and didn’t see a single ineligible receiver penalty. I am optimistic that Beck will be able to do good things with the personnel we will have next year, and give the defense some much needed help.

I can only hope that fans will pressure the NCAA (or possibly legislative intervention) to create some sort of correction in the next couple of years. I can definitely envision a salary cap for the school contributions, and perhaps some sort of combined cap for all $$ associated with a team and/or a requirement that there be a demonstrable quid pro quo for NIL that minimizes the uncontrolled collective $$ (ie, you get paid to be in a commercial, be in a video game, sign merch, but you can’t get paid just to be there).

I’m even cool with something like the Ken Garff truck lease thing, as it had some tangible upside for the donor (the trucks were plastered with Garff logos).

Even better if he brings Wayshawn Parker…

Atuaia, who worked at Virginia before Washington State, helped Wazzu rank 11th nationally in scoring offense this year.

We are watching numerous players acting like Dorian Singer at Arizona. The bag is tempting, but a starting spot that has you on track for the NFL is worth far more than any one or two year bag and the associated risks of transferring. Dorian Singer’s year chasing the bag in USC may end up costing him tens of millions in lifetime earnings.

Totally agree that NIL is a joke. I am no defender of the system. It is laughable that it is under the auspices of name, image, likeness–none of the money being paid is actually tied to that. Like you said, we are not seeing ads with these players. It is straight up bribes. I think it has made a mess of things. I would rather see players become professionals paid by the teams. Do some sort of collective bargaining like the NFL and just make it all a minor league system (loosely associated with the university, if wanted). Universities could then go back to having STUDENT-athletes. No pay. Maybe even no tuition benefits. I don’t know. But the current system is, in my opinion, unsustainable.

This is something that really, really, really bothers me and we’ve seen it a lot the last few weeks with Whittingham. The whole “He has done so much that he should be able to retire/leave when he wants to!” argument.

I disagree completely. Why are fans the only people asked to be loyal to sports teams? Why is it, “I was born a Philadelphia fan, I must be one forever” when not a soul associated with the sports teams has any loyalty?

Why are fans asked to be loyal when coaches can leave whenever they want? Why should I be loyal to Whitt, when he has taken other interviews and looked at other jobs and then used those interviews to get more money for himself? Why do I have to be loyal to Whitt when he has shut down the fan experience every chance he has gotten? From injury reports to closing practices to being one of the biggest supporters of a running clock in college football (which has led to the games lasting just as long but with less actual football in the four hours I have to sit in front of the tv to watch)?

Why do fans have to be loyal to a player who says they are staying and the second some more cash is tossed their way they are gone?

Nah. Fans, you owe none of these greedy people a thing. If Whitt sucks, boo him. He’s earned it and you’ve earned the right. The second he levered other schools for more money, the second he closed down practices, he opened himself up to the boos. He isn’t owed anything.

HE OWES US.

He has shaped the program and taken and taken and taken. We don’t owe him anything. He owes us wins, because he said if he was paid more, if he closed practices, if he didn’t report injuries, he’d win more games.

So we obliged him and now he is in debt to the school and the fans.

And same with players. These aren’t kids sacrificing their time and bodies to entertain us anymore. They aren’t working hard in the classroom and then playing and then having a part time job on top of that to pay for things. These are paid professionals who are paid to come to Utah to do a job. And the second they can make more money elsewhere, they bail for that money.

And I’m not saying they are wrong to do this.

But I am saying we don’t owe them loyalty, because not a soul up there on the hill, or any other college football team, is doing what they are doing for the fans. They are each doing what they need to do to further their careers. And the fans are just here to fund all of it.

So, if a player leaves do I wish them success? Honestly…I don’t care. I don’t wish them bad, but I don’t care anymore. I don’t want to hear about how Jackson is doing well on another s**tty team, when he could have stayed here and won the Big 12. I don’t care about where Wilson ends up or how he does.

You wanna leave? I get it. But don’t expect roses or “retire when he wants” or anything else.

You’ve been paid and aren’t owed anything.

The only person who is being screwed in college football is the fans.

Scalley thing doesn’t make sense to me, he’s the coach in waiting, and the MOST secure on staff no matter what happens.

Yeah, I was being facetious about Cam, but the change to ”WE” was interesting and overall, pretty poorly executed announcement. Zero energy IMO. And what is the Swoop Associates?
