If there’s going to be a major overhaul, it makes much more sense to let Scalley take over at the end of the season with Whitt in a consultant role. Utah did this for Scalley after John Pease left for and for Brian Johnson after Norm Chow left.

Why are people so rude to others on this forum to people who have a different opinion? I’ve said this before, if we all thought the same, this forum would be very boring. Why take the time to write that a post is ridiculous when you can just turn the page or ignore it? Why attack the poster? If you’re going to write something rude, “step away”.

NIL is an issue for all teams, but I believe some teams are more equipped than others to handle poorly appropriated NIL money, (i.e. players that were promised big $ but don’t pan out). I honestly don’t think it can go on much longer the way it is currently constructed. I would also venture a guess that half of the BIG and SEC cannot continue to function in this environment.

I would prefer to get someone from the transfer portal who has more eligibility and is not made of glass.

If I had to guess teams with above average NIL money, may find themselves struggling with this problem more than teams with less money to work with because of the locker room rifts the disparity of NIL money is causing.

Examples:

Utah
Oklahoma State
UCLA
Florida State
Arkansas
Iowa
Wisconsin
TCU

To answer your question DataUte, this would need to be a breakaway semi-pro league. I know that nobody wants that, but we are already there. We are a semi pro league living in anarchy. A semi-pro league with guidelines would be much better than what we have now.

Whittingham is a good coach. There’s no denying that. There is also no denying that his offensive struggles have been as consistent as his defensive successes. Although we were lucky to have him and he was the right coach at the time, I’m ready to move on from his ultra conservative style. Perhaps I will eat my words, but no guts, no glory.

I would also like to see the same change for the Running Utes. For too long, we’ve been the walking Utes.

Such a good point SteelUte! Does college football and bball each need a general manager to manage the financial side of the teams so that the head Coach can focus on football? The head Coach will still need to have the type of personality who can deal with jealousy in NIL discrepancies and team behavior brought about by the money being pumped into the game.

Exactly, Tony! I would love to see how NIL has affected Gundy. He has a similar methodology to Whittingham. Are some of their
problems this year due to NIL issues?

I believe college athletes are only required to report their NIL deals to their schools and it appears that Isaac’s NIL deals have not been disclosed to the public. Does anyone have an inside source on this?
