That seems like a prudent statement....but would he be able to say it with a straight face?

He’s a fool and a coward. And it’s insane that he’s still a better university

So trashy. Him not saying anything about his AD's actions speaks volumes about him and the University. His AD

I am sure Utah's legal counsel has told him not to apologize
