UNC AD Bubba Cunningham was asked a question that should terrify every non-revenue sport in America:

"Is a starting WR who costs $2.5M more valuable [to an athletics department] than your men's and women's tennis programs?"

The uncomfortable answer — YES.

[D1.ticker @D1ticker]

New standard on the horizon? 🐏

@GoHeels AD @BubbaUNC believes there will be a shift in non-revenue athletics: "I do think we'll get to a bifurcated system … that will have two pay-per-play models. One is you will be paid to play your game and others you'll have to pay if you're going to play your game. And so that's where we're going to end up, I think, at some point."

Cunningham also offered a look into the transfer portal: "This past year, almost 50% of the Division I basketball players entered the portal. That just doesn't seem to be something that is good for the academy."

@durtywhiteshoes The Wolfman is an all time great Ute!

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@PowercatRyan 11-2 — and most valuable per the Athletic 🔥

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

Utah continues to jockey for the Big Ten's next expansion wave — alongside Notre Dame, UNC, Miami, UVA, FSU, and either Duke or Georgia Tech.

@jonfromIA I see mass realignment by December 2027

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@tiger_then I like the dance one my better than this 😂

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@tiger_then Utah and Big Ten

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@lvmattr Pride cometh before the fall, Matt.

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@MatchupTracker Over

@aljmac @LockedOnUtes Thank you, Alan. Much appreciated

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

🎧 Just went live on @LockedOnUtes — my view on why Senator Mike Lee filed to strip the PCSA's 19-school conference cap, and what it means for Utah and the Big Ten.

Plus: why Utah's $638M brand value now beats 6 SEC schools and 7 Big Ten schools.

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@woodenputter Yeah, that’s a plausible view. Utah is in 22-23 position.

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@Running_Ryan Na, that’s a typo you’re seeing. It’s PCSA.

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@BJG_CO Yes, and to make it so NCAA couldn’t bet sued into oblivion. Section 205 was the conference cap. That’s what was amended against.

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@ewayner2 Yes, very correct, Ed

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@usmnt_jason @davidfloyd1980 Right 😂

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@Sammyr07329352 @HardcoreBYUgeek @B1GRichUte Not hearing anything Big Ten and Arizona schools related, but UA might be the more valuable commodity over ASU.

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@CSNMedia_ @Utah_Football @utaheverything It all comes down to Holy War in SLC! Let’s go!

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@Howard_Sprague I think this is bigger than Mike Lee’s personal fandom.

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@ralphieboywvu @markalsip57 Yes, agreed

[Professor WildUte @TheWildUte]

@Sammyr07329352 @HardcoreBYUgeek @B1GRichUte Who is your school?
