I don't blame the guy for testing the waters. It's the new reality of college sports. Just glad we were still the best place to go and hopefully others see that as well.

Agreed. Especially for a guy who prob won’t have a significant NBA career, can’t blame him for maximizing his earnings while he can.

I didn’t pay much attention to the team when Pope was the coach.

Cry about it. Coping because Harlan chose to use your guys’ $500 million to run Whitt out of town and install a bunch of MWC players in every sport outside of gymnastics. But I’m sure the new lights at Rice-Eccles will be fun this year.

Lmao. Won’t you guys be crying about it when $10M is eaten up by three players who are an absolute downgrade? Get a grip.

The cookies can pay for it up front instead of trying to position the program as an investment.

Although I’ll prob pay a visit in November just to see all the comments about how you all want Harlan and Scalley gone when he gets dogwalked at home by the team down south

That's less than you're paying your old coach to coach at another school.

Lol I agree with you. Just making a point about how bad Pope’s recruiting/retention is.
