NEW: Utah's Morgan Scalley to @PeteNakos on Kyle Whittingham leaving for Michigan and leaning on Utah connections:

"Did I know he would go to Michigan? No. Did I feel like he could go coach somewhere? One hundred percent. He’s a good coach. And if I’m in Kyle’s shoes, he’s got to do what he feels is best for Michigan.

So, of course, he’s going to lean on contacts. He’s going to lean on what he knows. He knew our players, he knew our coaches, and he knows the recruiting environment here in Utah. That’s just him trying to do what’s best for Michigan. I can’t sit there and fault him."

I understand how betting on sports makes it a bigger adrenaline rush to watch games.

However, states that have legalized online betting have also seen a subsequent +28% rise in bankruptcies: https://t.co/LLfDAfMwib

Just my 2 cents:

College Sports isn’t where this epidemic started.
Did you sign your 6 year-old up for travel sports?
4 different teams in the last year or 2?
Did you quit Little League & your School’s rec team to travel to Texas & Florida at age 9.
Is every weekend at the Travelodge with your kids numbered sweatshirt on at 8am, blaring some premade, walk up song montage.
Did you move your kid to a new school that you don’t even live in multiple times in their high school career?chasing the, it’s so much better there mindset, because the friends parents talked you into it and your excuses was, just wanna be part of winners.
Did you have a meeting to get the volunteer parent coach fired or the school’s admin coach fired because he/she didn’t play your kid?
Did you pay a personal trainer thousands of dollars all to watch your kid get burned out and tell you this sucks I just wanna play video games?
Do you run your kids, social media, YouTube and NIL-potential so that you can market the next big star.

Folks, we’re all guilty of wanting something better but stop acting and blaming college sports. That ain’t the problem here. This happens way before they get to college.

How much money does it take to buy you or your family?

Did you fall for the ole…
Better Join the, “
Select”, “Elite”, “Top”, “Premier” Team sales pitch? Only to figure out you just ended up funding the scholarships for the A-Team .

ADULTS, kids learn from Adults, they are taught & influenced by Adults.

The Great “Coach Baird” always called us Kids, because that’s what we were, immature, impressionable Kids.

Loyalty, commitment, integrity, and honesty is taught at the foundation, start there and we fix the issue.

I Bleed 💜💛 forever, & I”ll leave you with the legendary “Coach Hart” quote…
“Move The Drill, 5 yards Up”

GO DAWGS! ☔️

@SaltLakeJake *2003 Liberty bowl but it’s all the same if that team would have played 12 regular season games it would have been 11-2 for sure

Looks to me like it’s 1,290 for Whitt and 110 for Kalani. Decisive win.

@dakicker11 I was 8 years old driving home from a high school playoff game in Springville and remember Marcroft on the call “Career long for Golden Whetman” was so impresssed our kickers name was Golden.

The pathetic thing about modern socialists (that you can’t unsee once you see it) is that what they clearly think should happen is that companies should compete under capitalism, so that the socialists can figure out which ones are going to be successful and which ones aren’t, and then the idea is that socialists should get to take over the successful ones, now that all the initial risk is in the rearview mirror.

If the employees at Microsoft want to own the means of production, then they should take their little MacBooks and go start new companies.

But the thing about that is that it is difficult and risky.

@gregwrubell Could this be explained by opponents opting to throw their ace on Fridays and #2 Saturday?

[Josh Grant @UteJosh5]

It has been a long time since I posted on social media. This hire of Alex Jensen, as the new basketball coach at Utah, has completely revived the program and especially the fan base! I could not be happier and more excited for the future of Utah basketball!! Go Utes!
