But why did his indisputable and absolute loyalty to Wyoming end in 2017? Would he not have helped the team by coming back for his redshirt senior year in 2018? He felt he owed one more year and not two. I don't know. I never said Josh had "absolute" loyalty, but Josh does (obviously) hav...

Getting forked over by the refs too. Truly I am something of a conspiracy theorist when it comes to MW referees. It is in the conference's best interest if it gets as many teams playing March Madness. A NM win helps do that. It's hard not to feel that way sometimes....by and large, I think in colle...

Loyalty and integrity are not at issue here. It turns out that NCAA rules about compensating athletes and limiting transfers were the salient variable all along. Call it loyalty and integrity all you want.... Won't change the fact that players, up until recently, had very few options. By all accoun...

Posting in this section since this topic is not specific to any particular sport. This is in response to threads from the other boards about the following: Graham Ike transferring to Gonzaga. Sundance Wicks posting hate mail he received to twitter. The hypothetical related to what Josh Allen would h...

Josh literally said he stayed out of loyalty to Bohl and UW. He turned down millions to stay at UW. Don’t diminish Josh’s loyalty and integrity Loyalty and integrity are not at issue here. It turns out that NCAA rules about compensating athletes and limiting transfers were the salient variable all ...

The money being thrown at QB's in college is absurd. In todays environment, would Josh have stayed? Would he have taken the $$? Anybody that says they know is lying. We are all just speculating. For me...I think he would have taken the $$ and killed it somewhere else and gone on to a great NFL caree...

For sure. I would coach it too. But if I could wave a magic wand that would never be a foul for anyone. If it’s a honest shot attempt with contact, it should be a foul. If anyone in their right mind can tell a shooter would never do what they did unless it was to try and get a foul. No way. But I d...

If nobody ever said anything stupid...there would be no sports message boards.

In every angle I saw it didn't look like there was contact above the shoulders....The camera pans away pretty fast after the release though and the ref may have been calling the CSU defender for not giving Kot a landing space. I do agree though....got the benefit on that one. They could have called...

Was kot really fouled on that 3 in OT. That looked pretty weak call unless he hit elbow good. Hard to tell.

What do you mean by that Ragtime?....that era is just outside of my personal recollection. The Ivy League schools' success had started to wane in the previous 15-20 years. They were having issues with scholarships for athletes because they only scholarship based on need. Then TV became a bigger dea...

My guess is quite a bit more. $1 million would appear to be bottom of the barrel from the information that has been complied by various persons. Utah is a top tier team nationally, like top 15. I stand by my numbers. MWC is now a huge step down from Utah anymore With one million...you could probabl...

https://brobible.com/sports/article/utah-football-nil-money-cost-roster-kyle-whittingham/ I wish we'd see something like this for g5 level. Pretty good read regardless. Good read thanks for sharing. The big point for Wyoming is that once we develop the player (which we have to because of our disadv...

Some confirming tidbits from that article: " Although Whittingham is a great coach with an ability to develop unpolished, not-as-highly ranked athletes into stars, he can only go as far as his roster lets him . " " A college football program cannot succeed in the modern era without a ...

Everybody is talking today about "what does it mean that Josh can't get there"...and that is a conversation to have, but part of it is that Mahomes/Reid are a thousand pound gorilla right now. It might just say more about how good the Chiefs are than it does about Allen's failings. The Bil...

Maybe, but I doubt it. They are just two good teams in a conference that does not have a large amount of basketball NIL possibilities outside of maybe SDSU. If UNLV gets something going they could rule the MWC pretty easily I would imagine. I'm not an expert on where the NIL money is...but my sense...

Does NIL matter? Do you think we would be better if we had Graham Ike? Come on man. So is csu and usu spending a lot in bball but not football to gain competitive advantage over schools like us? This is just bad faith conversation. CSU and USU have a good thing going in bball right now. I don't thi...

They would have to matter. The problem is that NIL is not constrained to any sort of regulation. An NIL collective can specifically target offensive linemen (like the Texas one)....in that situation....no matter how big that NIL group is, it won't draw any basketball talent since they would not ben...
