We had 0 literally. Now we have 3. That is improvement no matter how you cut it. It does not mean we will be getting trashed in Columbus next December however.

This version of playoff would be perfect for the old conferences. Put the old P12 and B12 back to gather and voila- perfect playoff.

The system is in chaos because the athletes were being treated illegally for decades and the courts finally recognized that.

Do you want to regulate how much endorsement money can be paid to LeBron in order to level the playing field for the Jazz? It is not going to happen. The salary cap helps but the Jazz are still at a financial disadvantage…[Read more]

He is what 18years old? It sounds like he acted immaturely which is fairly common for a young man. If he can learn from this and come back with a good attitude- that would be a win.

The team needs both quality and quantity in the QB room. The arm talent/running ability that made him an elite prospect are still there and the experience he gained…[Read more]

The changes to college sports were not driven by big $$$. Big $$$ has been involved for a long time.

The changes were immediately driven by the courts recognizing that the previous rules were illegal. This was not an attempt to improve sports. It was a judicial ruling that recognized college sports were built on an unenforceable and illegal premise.

They signed as minors. Minors are not able to sign binding agreements.

Can you think of any other situation where a parent signs their kiddo to an agreement where the child will be bound after becoming an adult? It certainly is not common if there is precedent at all.

The courts determined in the cases you cited that the agreements were not…[Read more]

The decision was not an effort to fix sports- rather the courts recognized that the way athletes were being treated was illegal.

The athletes made decisions while legally children and were bound to that decision as adults- illegal.

The athletes were not allowed to own the value of their own names and likenesses based, again, on decisions they…[Read more]

I think Utah has an outside shot at getting in.

Gauley is dam release by schedule. New is free flowing and rain dependent. So new runs any time. It gets low and it gets huge- either can be an issue.

I’ve spent a lot of time kayaking on the Gauley and a bit on the New. Both are awesome and worth seeing.

Also hiking in the hardwood forests is pretty amazing when you are from the desert.…[Read more]

Given the cards he was dealt it looks to me like Yormark has come pretty close to maximizing his product. He took the B12 from the verge of collapse to 3rd-most-stable of conferences and apparently most stable outside the 2 dominant conferences. At least for now that is.

NIL is not salary. No professional leagues have a cap on endorsement deals. That is precisely what the courts ruled to be illegal in regards to college athletes.

The NBA has aggressive salary capping yet the Jazz can’t really compete with the Lakers because of this. There is no way to make it equal. LeBron can make a lot more $ playing for the…[Read more]

I hate the late starts. I am in eastern time zone and the games often finish after 230 am. It sucks to be awake and upset early in the morning! I guess I need to record them and watch in the morning.

Injuries are very common in college football. It is a violent game predicated on collisions. Here is an analysis of just how common injuries were in 2021- published just before the beginning of our reign of terror.

Study: College Football Injury Overview

Some highlights:

1- TN tops the list with…[Read more]

I guess we could go back to hiring former HCs as OCs. That worked so well I can’t wait to start it up again.

Utah fans should not expect pleasant treatment when they have acted like entitled a$$holes since joining the conference.

The B10 did not want us. Simple.

The B12 was and is our best option. Also simple.

No good comes from making ourselves to be the most hated team and fanbase. It certainly does not improve chances of B10 entrance.

Good dude. Wish him the best.

This is insanity. It makes perfect sense!

That is plausible. Retzlaff delivers some picks and the Utes are capable. Time for our yearly pick six!
