My understanding is what Gundy and Norvell did is not funding NIL but rather the schools fund once athlete’s become employees of the university. The money from the coaches goes to that fund to help pay players, facilities, etc.
Whitt should get on board with this.

I saw that Boumeister is taking a visit to Texas. Not sure if they have offered him yet but would assume he is not coming back.

Makes sense. Thanks for the responses.

highlandute7 replied to the topic NIL vs University employees in the forum Football 1 week, 1 day ago
Thanks for the reply but not sure it answers my questions.
To be brief – can players still accept NIL money once they are considered employees of the University?

At this point, any QB we can get on the roster would be a positive.

Can someone explain how or if NIL will be different once these players (in all sports) become employees of the University? Doesn’t that mean they will then become paid by the school they attend and with that, can they still take NIL funds coming from booster or can they only receive payment from the school?
Or does this even matter?

This is the problem with Utah. We don’t have any big boosters now that can compete with all the other money being thrown around. The only way BYU would be able to double the offer (and I’m not saying they doubled it) would be them getting backing from those that are funding their bball team.
And we won’t be able to compete with any of the other…[Read more]

Given who we currently have, maybe he figured he would be in line to be the starter. He could have had a good talk with Beck as well. I still don’t know how the TE is utilized in Beck’s offense. Doesn’t seem like we would use them the same way as Ludwig did, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

I am also unable to make Edits now to my original post with list of those transferring.

highlandute7 replied to the topic Our QB and RB rooms are empty in the forum Football 1 week, 4 days ago
Given we have had to use 5 QBs each of the past two years, seems like a good chance they would be needed. Having depth at the QB is something every team needs and having one or both on the roster right now would be a plus in my opinion.

Hmm…so you think that Beck had no intention of seeing what they could do and giving either of the a shot given Wilson started multiple games already even when it should have been Rose? Seems like both would have a good chance of playing time if they stayed.

highlandute7 replied to the topic Our QB and RB rooms are empty in the forum Football 1 week, 4 days ago
I’m a little curious how the injuries to Wilson and Rose could affect schools giving them offers. I am sure some will be willing to take them on but do we even know if either of them will be ready to go for spring ball?
We don’t even know the severity of Wilson’s injury from Iowa St on top of the rumored surgery he has been putting off.

That would make sense. I was looking at it like he wasn’t even on a roster.
Either way, he just entered the portal.

If that were true, he would have left long ago. Morgan is happy to be where he is and wants to keep his family in Utah.

Will remove Damuni.
Bouwmeester shows as a junior but multiple articles say he is out of eligibility. He started at MSU in 2019 – didn’t play and as noted in his bio, there is nothing noted for 2020 or 2021 on ESPN stat sheet so I assume he lost those years of eligibility. I don’t really know though.
