connection with the institution - I don't want ANYONE running BYU athletics who isn't deeply and fiercely loyal to BYU.
Mercenary ADs obviously happen a lot, but never will for us, for a lot of reasons. It's gotta be in their blood and ideally some of their blood has been on the grass at LES or on the court of the MC.
This guy's true organic loyalty is with his alma mater, Arizona - an in conference and regional rival of Utah's.
