UU fans once again earning their bad reputation (Tanuvasa article in SL Trib)

Wow well said by him. Love to hear it. It also makes me laugh that Whittingham

It's also a passive/aggressive way for KWhitt to imply "BYU can't beat us on the field, so they resort to NIL to

When BYU and Utah are in the same conference he is 3-4 all time.

Whitt has a losing record against BYU when both teams are in the same conference

it's also a way to drum up more NIL support for his program

Apr 1, 12:08pm

KWitt can't admit that BYU has something more publicly b/c it would undermine

If Whitt truly understood why Tanuvasa came here, he would be here himself.

There's a hint of edge when he discusses handling of player health

In case any of you missed his interview from the Alumni Game last Friday:

That's why he fits in with us better. Even though I shouldn't be, I'm surprised

I love that UU (including Whit) have resigned themselves to not being able to compete with BYU in NIL. lol

KWhit has to be worried, having their best DL leave for BYU would be unthinkable

Utah Sucks!

This is not an April Fool's joke-----It is true in every sense.

I hope the NIL thing is true and I hope we poach their best player every year

Apr 1, 9:29am

None of this would have happened Kyle if you had accepted BYU’s offer to be head coach. But no—you had to chase the $$$.

Yes! Pot meets kettle.

I think this should be instructive to us, as fans, to not assume players that

BYU fans (CBers) criticism is more often "He just wanted to party"

Apr 1, 9:44am

Whit used Tanu as an opportunity to do some fundraising for his program. Always willing to throw players under the bus

kccougar

Apr 1, 9:43am

Haha. Projection because KW took the U job because of more money?

RWaters

Apr 1, 9:49am

They have to claim NIL because it's too much for them to accept

Mister P

Difficult for me to understand why a kid like this ever even picked UU at all.

While BYU wanted Whittingham early, it is clear that his demeanor and behavior

Yep. His thin skin mirrors so much of that fanbase.

I think Occam's Razor supports KWhitt

Leaving for more NIL money is a fantastic and understandable reason in my opinio

I agree. Whether he did it for the money or for spiritual reasons

shakarocks

When Tanuvasa says a primary concern was his health, that's also sensible.

Belboz

Apr 1, 1:41pm

I believe Tanuvasa. I also think there's a reasonable case for KWhitt.

shakarocks

Apr 1, 1:43pm

Even if it's reasonable, it's petty and sour-grapes for KW to call out a player

Apr 1, 5:17pm

No it's not.

I can’t recall other coaches responding in that same way. Do you have examples?

When the player says it wasn't due to NIL and the coach publicly contradicts him

Exactly. Low budget.

I didn't declare anything. I my point that Occam's Razor makes money the most

shakarocks

but why? that's only true if money IS everything.

fattycoug

In college athletics money is almost everything.

Excuse by the coach, not reason from Tanuvasa. Not sure Occam’s razor applies where it is simplest is best

You really need to bone up on what Occam's Razor is.

That's a very mature take, more mature than his previous coach.
