all of the information required to come to the correct conclusion is available to everyone.

That’s called an assumption. Thanks for finally admitting it.

Haha whatever dude. As I’ve already stated above, nobody is perfect…including Coach Whitt. But he’s BY FAR the best coach we could possibly have leading our football program, period end of story.

I’m glad you think you know all of these facts that nobody else knows. After getting all of the info that was available from insiders on 247 last…[Read more]

But how could Utah negotiate out of this clause that all the other schools signed if they were so desperate for a life raft according to the Zoobs’ silly narrative?!

This is just further proof that Utah was the crown jewel of the 4 corner schools “dream scenario” for Yormark…and everyone knows it!!

Mental gymnastics goes both ways. You assuming the worst with how Whitt managed the QB situation and what you think he could have or should have done is the exact same thing. You don’t know all the details and neither do I. So what good does it do to shout at the rain and throw Whitt under the bus? Does it make you feel better or something?…[Read more]

Good post and I stand corrected. Here’s a link to the media markets that shows which schools are associated with each market. SLC at #27 is comparable to Indianapolis at #25. Kentucky goes with Lexington which is small in comparison at #63. As you pointed out, Illinois shares Chicago #3 with a list of schools but the 2 B1G schools are Northwestern…[Read more]

If you read the article Staples defines his underlying assumptions for selection. He based his model on the assumption that both the B1G and SEC would be adding schools to their leagues vs what you are referring to which would be the biggest brands leaving the B1G and SEC and building an entirely new Super League. If it’s merely the B1G/SEC adding…[Read more]

Awesome, I like yours even better. But the one thing that makes this whole Super League concept so great IMO is cutting out the crappy, body bag games. As you said, every single week with each game played it would be nothing but great matchups and huge ratings. Season ticket holders would have to love this because there wouldn’t be one bad game on…[Read more]

Agreed, that would be ideal keeping Utah in the West division. But pretty cool to see Utah included in a model that is limited to only 28 teams.

I think any future Super League would have at least 32 teams and most likely 40. The closer to 40 and the more likely it seems Utah would be included.

And here’s the article with more details behind Mandel’s proposal:

College Football Premier League: 28 teams survive in standalone football product

Yes, MD = Maryland

I’ve lived away from Utah for the past 16 years (Chicago, Philly, DC) and I wear my Utah gear most every day. Without question, people recognize Utah and talk to me about the Utes all the time.

I don’t know what you mean about not hearing people talking about Utah unless they are playing Utah. Because I don’t hear people talking about any…[Read more]

Yep, that’s the understatement of the day!

Who are you talking to?

The PAC 12 was grossly mismanaged by the Presidents of the member institutions for years. They are the ones who enabled Larry Scott to lead the conference over the cliff to its death fall. Lots of blame to go around but it all has to start at the top with the Presidents who Larry Scott reported to.

You’re right Backer…I thought I’d be moving forward by now but I’m still feeling depressed about this new conference. The release of the schedule the other day was just another reminder of the major step backwards Utah has taken by being forced to join this conference.
