Utah Utes (official thread)


As an institution of higher learning you look at sports post NIL watershed and ask your self: Is this something only we can or should be doing?

If the answer is Yes: then you carry on as before

If the answer is No: you have 4 options
1. Stop doing it
2. Automate it
3. Insource it
4. Outsource it

#1 and #2 are non starters.
#3 is what you were doing before, an athletic department inside the University frame work. If that was working you wouldn't have answered "No"

Only #4 remains

NIL was a regulatory sea change that fundamentally disrupted the old model of college sports. It was over once that became law. Only option 4 (in whatever way you want to try and execute it) is viable for schools and conferences going forward.

Portraying the PE world as two dimensional bond villains out to fleece the schools is just noise. This is where it's headed. A separate legal entity operating a professional sports organization. Divide up the ownership and responsibilities, revenue sharing and payouts as you will. This reduces the threat of sports hurting the University (essentially eliminates it) it in no way puts the public institution in harms way.

He was the first NFL defensive tackle this season – and just the ninth ever – to record 10 tackles with a sack and multiple quarterback hits in a game.


Togiai had four total quarterback pressures vs. Mahomes, according to Pro Football Focus, which gave Togiai the seventh-highest overall grade (82.2) among NFL defensive tackles in Week 14.

In recognition of his standout performance, Togiai wins our Pro Buck of the Week award as the top performer among NFL players from Ohio State in Week 14.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

Yes it does, because you are replying to a post about Alabama.
What you're missing is, who cares about Alabama? Notre Dame is stomping around throwing a fit as if we should all be thankful they exist. I don't give a shit if Eastern Kentucky got in over them. If this is how they're going to act.....good. Fuck em.

watch the Trojan Condom Slid Over a Sylvania Light Bulb Rammed Up Your Ass Preparation H Bowl between a 6-6 team in the Mountain West and a 5-7 team from the Sun Belt.
Sounds like a dream marketing matchup between USC and the Pedsters.

And is that an old style light bulb or one of the newer curlicue items? Asking for @LovelandBuckeye
