Revenue sharing and NIL are two separate issues. Some people conflate the two because they both involve players getting paid, something that was strictly verboten under the previous system. But you’re right, the next step is revenue sharing and players becoming employees of universities. I believe that’s the end of the line in college athletics…[Read more]

Well, you’re not wrong. As I understand it, what NIL is supposed to do is allow players to capitalize on their popularity and positive name recognition. As you say, what it really has done is turn what was putatively an amateur sport into a professional minor league. I don’t know how the powers that be are ever going to put the genie back in…[Read more]

LOL. It’s better to complain about obvious issues than to be a tool that has nothing original or worthwhile to say. Here’s a recommendation, instead of hanging on my every word, how about you put some original content on this site.

I wish someone would do some research and see how many more games Utah would have won over Smith’s career if the team averaged 75% from the line. The one game that will stay with me until I die is the 3 OT loss to Zona last season where the team only shot 47% from the line. I was at the game last night, and I heard enough grumbling from the…[Read more]

This team…SMDH…how can a major college basketball team be so bad at FTs? Only 6 for 16 this half.

He’s gotten microwave hot…11 points off the bench in just a couple of minutes.

And another one…

Mike just hit a 3…

Gonna take a look at the film, focus on the fundamentals, see who can take care of the football, play until the whistle is blown, and see who’s ready to back up Cam Rising.

The moral is that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Another one is looking before leaping…

The prodigal son returns…his so called departure was the biggest engineered hoax since the Cardiff Giant.

Jim Mora? I thought that was Allen Iverson biffing with Larry Brown.

Rose is the guy that puzzles me. He stays when he doesn’t get a whiff of the field but he leaves after having a good game against the most hated Cougars and having a pathway to starting? Doesn’t make sense and if the gloves don’t fit, you must acquit.

The athletic department had a moment of silence for him before the start of Saturday’s basketball game. My condolences to his family.

Yeah Rick, it’s all related to the profit sharing case that the athletes won recently. Eventually, the athletes are going to receive a percentage of the gross profits that any sport makes. That money has to come from somewhere, and the likeliest place is the massive salaries that football coaches currently have. It’ll be interesting to see what…[Read more]

All I’m going to say is that Nate Johnson is a dangerous player with the ball in his hands in an open field. He has the innate ability to anticipate tackles and make defenders miss. If he wants to ever see the field again, he needs to leave Vanderbilt and come back to Utah as an athlete. Last I checked, Vandy had like 6-7 QBs on its roster and…[Read more]

You never saw Larry K’s team fight from a big halftime deficit like at the game vs Saint Mary’s? Give me a break…how about this 22 point comeback in the last 10 minutes of the game versus UCLA in 2019 at Paoley Pavilion. This is the best Utah comeback of ALL TIME.

I’m a season ticket holder and I’ve been one since I moved back to Utah in 2019. I attend all home games, no matter the competition unless I have some health issue. As such, I believe that I have an educated, though not expert, view of Utah basketball. I’m glad that you still have faith in Smith because I sure don’t. Maybe this team could be…[Read more]
