I just ran across an article in which the mac added umass for football only. they just balanced their schedule. I was always concerned they may have taken in wky.

on another note I just got back from taking my oldest daughter to see the Univ. of Utah. One thing I noticed as we were on our tour of campus is how many signs in buildings were promoting sports and the Pac12. Maybe it was because of the recent move but they were all over in every building. Talked to several fans who also commented on how they can no longer go to away games due to distance. Boulder is the closet. They are used to going to BYU (rival) and the likes of vegas and reno. They did well in the mwc but will suffer in the Pac 12 but sure they will get shown the money.

Campus was big, football stadium is huge and nice. Dorms are the athletic village from 2002 Olympics so no old ones at all. We are not mormon but 40% of campus is which is a low % for Utah areas. Very laid back skier type of campus which is what she wants. She wants to go to Boulder but Dad says no to high costs and huge party school.

Thought this was a post about a new verbal commitment when I read the title

I love the Utah campus and Salt Lake City is really nice. Park City is even greater and the entire region is a six hour drive from Vegas. I love the campus and found the city clean and welcoming. I love the mountain restaurants, trees, clean city and amazing hiking opportunities throughout the state. Moab and Zion in Utah are driveable and two of my favorite hiking places on the planet. Utah Ute sports are fun even though I feel they are a bit obscure in the Pac 12 now.

How much more is CU than Utah? My wife went to CU for a couple of semesters and as I recall the tuition was reasonable for a state flagship school. But, she also got in-state tuition. Is there a huge difference in out-of-state tuition between Utah and Colorado?

about another 15,000 per year. Their in state rates are very reasonable.

I just thought it was neat that Utah had sports marketed all over campus. Everywhere yoiu went you were reminded about the programs and the conference. The cafeterias were full of sports stuff.

ESPN rated their sports club number one. I believe it is called the MUSS. For 35.00 you get ashirt, tickets to every game and free food at the pre game tailgate. There is a list of cheers and rules for how the grouip cheers during t he game. It is huge and very cool and explained in detail on our pre tour meeting and presentation.

      Evansville (11/5/24)

      Massie is basically listed at the same build as both AScott and TBell…our starting PFs for the last four seasons. That’s at least part of the reason I see Massie as a fit at our 4…so much of our defense is built around switching, denying entry and team rebounding…so we’ve never needed 6’8” 250 at the 4. I agree Vice is such a big wildcard. If it’s literally just him and Sissoko sharing minutes at the 5 and giving say 12/12 collectively, this squad could be a monster and legit ten-deep. this level of pre-season speculation is pretty darn fun. We are not have like three dudes on the roster we’re pretty well confident in knowing what they’ll give us…Walker, Sissoko and Stone…everyone else is kinda up in the air. personally…I think Wright is knocking on the door of 20ppg…with Floyd, Josell, Massie all around double-figures…balanced by Walker, Newell and some center combo giving 7-8/game.

      Goal Post Alert

      For the players and coaches, yes. For the student section, nope. They’re kids. Let them make some lifetime memories and rip the goal posts down.

      Memphis's Tyreek Smith Hits Portal Hours Before Opener

      What's happened to APR? Is that still a thing? It used to be that if more than a few players left a football program (much more so a basketball program) without graduating in the same year, it would kill a team's APR.
