Cam Calhoun’s mom wants him paid the max (here)

[Ute Dub]

I know I annoyingly created a separate thread but I thought the other thread was not the full story.
Her exact comment was that she wanted Utah to make it right. My interpretation: Currently, Utah did not make it right, therefore he has to leave. She wants him here if Utah fix’s the wrong and pays the most or equal to the other offer. That’s fine if she wants that but it’s not a bleeding heart issue. Let’s roll with Snowden and Keenan Johnson and the others.
I wish him nothing.

For missing the game winning interception against TDS .. lol

Got to make the INT to get paid.

Maybe he’ll meet a nice LDS girl and get a job with an MLM company at the Y. I wonder if they have to pay tithing with the NIL money. Call his bluff. He’s using it as leverage.

Just because byu offered Calhoun does not mean he’s going there. I’d be shocked if that’s where he ends up, I’ll eat my words if I’m wrong

[Jim Vanderhoof]

Sorry if my comments offended someone. I was just joking and my point was he is using it as leverage to get more money.

How many of us have used a job offer to get a raise at our current job?

I see nothing wrong with players leveraging their market value. I do agree that there need to be some controls in place.

Very fair point. However, I would counter that his job right now is to entertain fans. (As that is the ultimate source of all money in athletics.) It’s certainly within his right to try and get more money from a different fan base, but he shouldn’t be surprised if how he’s doing it turns his current fan base against him.

[Ute Dub]

That’s fine. Just don’t say Utah has to make it right. Utah operates under constraints that are different from other schools.

I think we will all be better off going forward without the expectation of loyalty. That’s now long gone. You do have to look at it now as it’s a job for them and the majority of the time they will go where the money is. Definitely don’t blame them, blame the system. And don’t think for one second that they care where they receive their education from. $$$ talks.
