Made even worse by the fact you aren't going to get the talent up front if you don't (basically) guarantee the money.

It's one thing for a J Smith to get the most money and then everyone shuts up after the first practice. Its another thing to have a bust that you can't make take a hair cut. Prices will spiral and locker rooms will be a tricky, tricky thing.

Better for everyone once they get to full on employee status-->union--> CBA like other professional sports.

And to make a play on your words, teams are not getting the talent up front. Meaning that they're not getting the full talent/ceiling of the player up front, but they are expected to guarantee a chunk of money to that unproven player. Not sure what could go wrong

Still completely ignoring that everyone at scUM was fully aware of Sherrones creepy dealings with women and said nothing until outsiders started making noise and it got to the point where they had to do something. Those are some great morals!

The roster situation will be interesting to see. I'm not sure Whittingham is a guy who brings guys who were on the fence to stay, think they are still gonna lose their fair share this time around.

This is mainly why they settled on him, he's more than likely to bring zero controversy and the higher ups there know it's going to take a long time to fix things after their recent fiascos. They coulda done worse but they aren't gonna be any better than the better pre cheating Harbaugh years

That was like 20 years ago now lol. And that was about the peak of the "didn't want to be there" era.

He did get Utah to back to back Rose Bowls in 21 and 22 seasons. But those were both 3 loss regular seasons and Utah lost both of those games.

Halftime of this Minnesota New Mexico game they just called Ohio State and Cryami a "rivalry renewed" good old ESPN

They own a piece of the ACC too.

You will never see OSU spoken of on ESPN in any way better than a backhanded compliment.

It's been going on for close to 25 years now. Time to just recognize it for what it is.

Whittingham doesn't concern me. He's 66 years old, has been at Utah for 32 years, has never sniffed the bcs/cfp and will be a continuance of Simple Jim's neanderball.

No lie, I like what the PopTarts Bowl is doing. It’s back to fun. Them, XBox, and Reliquest are awesome looking.

One of the unintended consequences of the CFP that turns out to be a pretty ok thing.

Bowls go back to a fun exhibition game to reward the team and fanbase for a solid season.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

(unless you are Notre Dame)

I've watched quite a bit of it so far this year and the players who do play, are getting after it. They might not be very good but there doesn't seem to be any "don't want to be there" games so far.

Didn’t we beat Utah in the Rose Bowl a few years ago?

Yeah, I seem to remember JSN having over 300 yards receiving.

I don't get that 1-0 claim. He was a graduate assistant at BYU in 85-86 when they lost to Ohio State in a bowl game. He wasn't at Utah in 86, when they lost to Ohio State. Gave the Buckeyes a bit of a scare in 2022, but lost.

• First Meeting: 1986 Rose Bowl (Ohio State won 64-6).
• Second Meeting: 2022 Rose Bowl (Ohio State won 48-45).

As for Ono, he's a politician. Not surprising that he lobbies Ellison for an appointment in Europe to escape possible legal action when the brooms come out at TCUN. It already is clear that they cheated, he knew it and he buried it by ensuring no written internal report or even notes, from what I read.

Was the most important factor a coach who was befuddled when they asked him about “sliding into DMs” and his OnlyFans account activity?

You know who did actually lose to Utah once?

tsun & Harbaugh

Not a lawyer but the answer is yes.

Basic angle is "the school knew or allowed it to happen under their watch and my client was injured"

If It comes out that the school (defined as any of it's leaders like say Simple Jim, Warde manuel or others) actively covered it up to keep the football program on the rails then, Katie bar the door.

It will like Saturday night at your mom's house when there are five new ships in the harbor.

Interesting that Ono took a job out of the country.

They are now trying to claim over on The Fort that guys like Dillingham, Brohm and Monken were never even real candidates and Whittingham was their 1A/1B with DeBoer all along. So predictable

Michigan is going to dominate the NCAA and the AARP all at once.
