not being cleared to play last year. How can that not cause some tension. With how Wilson has looked, I think they're fine moving on from Rising.

Can anyone corroborate the growing divide between Whitt & Rising?

I don't know if Rising is a jerk, but Whitt definitely is.

No information, but I can't imagine that he wouldn't have gone into the Portal this Spring if that were true

You think another team would pay the same $ for damaged goods?

Yes. Have you seen the terrible QB play at A&M, Notre Dame, FSU, and others?

I think they'd take him, but not for the price Utah is paying

Huge Manatee

How much is Utah paying?

I was told 1.5 by someone who may or may not know.

I'd be pretty upset if a player was taking millions in NIL just to sit out

Even if you don't agree, it's pretty low to publicly call out your student QB.

Whitt overpromised to NIL donors about Cam's health. When Cam didn't play, the donors were mad. Kyle was trying to cover

I think it is obvious that Wilson is their best QB

How are Utah fans feeling about Rising at this point? Ready to move on or hope

Wilson seems pretty good. I'd be ready to move on if I were them.

Mister P

Move on. Sick of the anticipation of him playing and then not. It killed last season and we are lucky it hasn’t killed

reasonable take here.

Seems like Whittingham has known about his conditions and continues trying to

Fair take. I’m sure it would also be nice to spend that NIL money elsewhere.

Completely agree. I’m grateful Wilson hasn’t been a complete disaster so far

Do you think he can return the favor his brother gave the Utes and throw some

I think it’s very possible, haha. BYU’s defense shaping up to be the toughest we will see all year. Not surprising with

It would go along to getting to that unity you propose in Sig Picture

If U loses and Wilson has a poor game then IMO Cam starts the next game.

I would feel the same, time to move on

If they lose 2 maybe 3 games then I’d move on if I were Whit, but he still does

It had to be NIL money. He's not going pro. Everybody knows that.

Sure, but he could have transferred.

I don't know if other schools were willing to shell out big NIL money for

Other schools are used to having much better QBs. He's a top 3 all time QB for

Whitt LOVES him some disinformation, though.

You don't need to be a great judge of character to know whitt is a tool.

Part of it is the ridiculous misinformation campaign Whitt always uses. If

Whitt probably likes players who can can actually play and are not hurt all the time.

BYU fans don't understand Whittingham. He is singular focused on winning. He does not hold a player

Hopefully a divide grows between him and Wilson. He's up and coming.
