Lander Barton refuses to get caught up in the NIL temptations

[ProudUte]

Lander’s sister was on the radio on Tuesday. It was an entertaining interview. She was an AA volleyball player at the U. She said that her little brother had plenty of lucrative NIL offers and chose not to take them. OC then added that he offered Lander a weekly NIL radio interview which Lander declined to take even though it was easy money. His sister pointed out that Lander wants to spend his time improving as a player and does not want the other nonsense.

No better Utah family than the Bartons.

Go UTES!!!

This is either awesome or stupid, not sure which one. 😎

Awesome. He knows he’ll get his payday soon enough.

Goes without saying but you always hope it works out for these type of people in life. They want to earn what they get and try to stay humble. It is something that is viewed as admirable for sure. I hope he is compensated at least a little for this sort of value system.

I am sure that he is compensated nicely by Utah donors. He just didn’t go looking for a better offer after the 2024 season. I appreciate his loyalty.

I think my statement above might have been misinterpreted.

I surely am VERY HAPPY that he is being loyal to Utah.

I was referring to not taking the radio NIL gig, which seems like 15 minutes a week for some extra cash.
