He’ll be justifiably fired. He hasn’t stepped up from G5 to P5. Recruits poorly,

He signed the best player in the state this year an ESPN top 100 kid. He has

Utah's program is a dumpster fire until proven otherwise

They also lose their best player and possibly others

The pac 12 that actually did better post season than the overrated big 12?

And where was Utah for the post season?

More reasonable Utes on Twitter today than this type to be fair.

Apr 16, 1:49pm

Yeah, but the Church's tax-exempt status is a main gripe of the ex/anti-mo's

Apr 16, 1:51pm

Yes, exactly right

Apr 16, 1:55pm

To be fair many of us believe no religion should have tax exempt status not just

And many of us here begrudge our taxes funding your football program.

And yet you're cool with tax $ going towards football instead of education?

If there were tax dollars going to Utah athletics I would be ok with it. Just

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 2:28pm

Proof there isn’t? Why would there have been the audit of Utah athletics

BYU '80

Apr 16, 2:38pm

Because a childish byu fan legislator called for one when Larry k cancelled

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 3:55pm

That’s not the question. Why would there be an audit

BYU '80

Apr 16, 4:42pm

The athletic department is part of the university so the state can audit. But

Can you read all the way to the second paragraph? What is a taxpayer?

Atmospheric_Cougar

Apr 16, 10:11pm

To be fair, gas station attendants don't really pay much, if any, taxes either.

Which is stupid

Bob Vance

Which nonprofits should be tax exempt? Just ones you don't like?

Apr 16, 2:48pm

Actual charities. Not large corporations influencing politics. I would start

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 3:56pm

Why should influencing politics have anything to do with being non-profit?

ochobeeguy

Apr 16, 4:08pm

Well it is against the law.

Utefaninenemyland

Apr 16, 4:12pm

So you glanced over the word “substantial.”

BYU '80

Apr 16, 4:43pm

Please don’t ever try and do anything that requires any base legal understanding. I say that to help you.

Well there goes the biggest charities

To be fair we think that opinion is dumb.

You’ve had two. And no tourney since your last one

Can’t we love Utah and hate byu equally?
