It's the first of a two-part conversation. Maybe people will care about the second part.

“I think as we talk about last season, just like Kyle (Whittingham) would say, there’s things that they need to improve in as we head into the next year, I would say the same of myself,” Harlan said. “I think that night, obviously, I reacted emotionally and my frustrations were expressed in a way that was not worthy of a true leader of a program of this stature. And certainly as any leader should, you learn and grow from those experiences.” ...

“Bringing the Big 12 and diminishing our participation in the Big 12 was, in my view, inappropriate, as my statement said immediately after the game. I don’t want at all anyone to think that Utah’s participation in the Big 12 isn’t something that we’re proud of and frankly, we’re honored to be competing,” Harlan said.

Also there's this piece of whining: “Until tampering rules are enforced by the NCAA, which they’re not, you’ve got to be the ones in the ears of your students early”

Wonder who he wants people to think he's talking about there?
