At the end of the day, Coaches are trying to keep their million-dollar salaries. Their ultimate job is to win (or get fired). The kids playing are just meat for the grinder to make the end product.
Its not just a Ute thing... every program will put players at risk to win. At the college level.. kids have to protect themselves.
I love that Pittman came out and told his side.
