DataUte replied to the topic Conjecture: Why the Utah coaches may have been willing to let Tanuvasa go… in the forum Football 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Don’t we have a GM now? Not sure it is this guy, but most programs now have a GM between the AD and FB HC/staff to manage this stuff. But there could absolutely be a disconnect (technically, the coaches shouldn’t be involved in NIL, but they have to be).

Not fully. But it’s still fun to watch whomever is on the field sporting the uniform once all the recruiting, NIL, and transfers settle. So much noise and turmoil, but once the team is together, get the most out of them, hopefully with the fewest injuries possible, and see what happens.

DataUte replied to the topic What's Santa bringing Ute fans tonight? in the forum Football 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Coach class tickets to Puerto Vallarta + hotel (ok, using points), and some snorkeling, but not until February when I’m more sick of the cold.
I think Santa is also bringing a new home office chair. That’s at least what I asked him for.

Extra Medium replied to the topic Needs to be an NIL Regulatory Office in the forum Football 4 weeks, 1 day ago
The NCAA really screwed this up (shocker). An athlete should sign with the NCAA to act as their manager and agent. They can facilitate NIL deals once a player has signed with a team. There will still be back channel tampering but that’s never going to stop.

DataUte replied to the topic Riddle me this… Uteman! in the forum Football 1 month ago
What’s ironic is the ‘pro-style’ is becoming more simplified except for the best of qbs. So a college system that takes that long to learn rarely actually gets them ready for the pros. All the rage are the Caleb Williams, Bryce Young, Jayden Daniels with ‘playmaking’ abilities. Many offenses are more short passes with occasional deep ball and some…[Read more]

Yes, there is a lot more joking mimicry in CFB (parody). Parity? just teasing 😉

DataUte replied to the topic 2025 Top 4 Preseason Predictions in the forum Football 1 month ago
I also think BYU got 2-3 games of lucky breaks that seem to return to the mean in following years.
Kansas was one of the unluckiest teams and have a Jalon Daniels returning, so they could also be better, but I wouldn’t put them in top 4.

DataUte replied to the topic Bouwmeister to Texas. in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Is grad transfer really a thing anymore? Yes, he graduated, so that’s good (Cam still hasn’t after 7 years!), but before, we thought grad transfer was good because they could play right away. Now, every transfer can play right away, a court ruling I think was stupid and has created a lot of this mess. Want to transfer and get NIL? Great, but you…[Read more]

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

DataUte replied to the topic A former UTE I'd love to have on the staff. in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Some of the stuff he did seemed a little shady and under the table. Def out of the box thinker, but it’s like ‘who do we really want to get into bed with’. I’d say sportswashing (hiding human rights issues with sports funding) and private equity and venture capital will make the NIL environment even worse than it is.
Plus, I think there is a…[Read more]

DataUte replied to the topic Most likely to remove name from Portal? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
He got offered twice what Utah did. Didn’t quit. Actually, he will come back if the collective matches. They got the NIL offer (sounds like tampering to me), he went back to Utah to show his ‘market’ value and they balked. Maybe it is high or above our valuation or there is trepidation based on this year and some being overpaid, underdelivered,…[Read more]

DataUte replied to the topic NIL money questions in the forum Misc 1 month, 1 week ago
Depends on if you want to know how it was supposed to work (sponsorship deals because their name, image, or likeness was marketable; revenue sharing from jersey sales with their name, etc.) or how it actually works (pay-to-play, agents; collectives collect money, coaches or athletic dept. kind of have to tell them what can be offered, now…[Read more]

DataUte replied to the topic Most likely to remove name from Portal? in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
Agree on tspp. I think it’s ok to explore a little, kind of feel out if there are better situations/offers after an emotionally charged season. I don’t love it and it does speak to some loyalty, but the team changes so much they might just want to feel heard and get their name out there because they might have a job opportunity too good to pass up…[Read more]

DataUte replied to the topic Regarding the Portal, It Could Always be Worse in the forum Football 1 month, 1 week ago
That’s a good point. Kiffin and others have hoped it would be after bowl games/CFP, but that is too late to land a spot and get in place to enroll (not like the academic side has really mattered much lately). Maybe they should just have one late spring so they can see how things are going, they finish the school year, then they move during the…[Read more]

This is the new way – mine the G5 for the better players and bring them up to P4 and they compete for 1st team (or start because they already know the system like this case with Beck coming over).

What was Isaac’s TD/INT ratio? Oh yeah, 10/11. Whit shut that down so fast … wait, no he didn’t. Wilson also didn’t have any rushing TDs.
