Yes, Madsen stated publicly he’s staying at Cal.

It wasn’t a show. But he isn’t invested the same way that we are as fans. Me personally…I could never imagine

I just looked up Kevin Young and found out I coached against his team when he was in high school. I don't remember him.

No touching All-American

8:32pm

I served a mission in that area around when he would have been in school. I remember kids in our ward signing up to play

RalphWiggam

8:37pm

I think the best coach is either Jensen or Young.

JackArchi

8:32pm

I think Chandler and others would love to play for young once they read his bio. They’d be crazy not to give him a shot

RalphWiggam

Young with Burgess as an assistant.

If Burgess can keep getting good recruits, I'll take him all day long.

Would either stick around?

mine is nobody will want our next coach because how bad we'll be if he sux 🙁

Even if Utah is doing well, that's still all true.

8:31pm

But if Utah is doing well, they aren’t losing their coach

The Chief

Unless a Blueblood comes along and wants him.

Schultz is back

8:41pm

yeah, that scenario seems pretty far fetched with Utah going to Big 12

The Chief

State schools will always offer more than BYU

There is no evidence for that when BYU has equal revenue

I thought expansion teams were going to be 600-800 million

What changed in the last 24 months? Seattle was 650 million

cougarfann888

Smith really REALLY wanted a franchise, and the NHL made him pay.

Vert der Frick

8:01pm

Seems like a pretty reasonable price

kotacoug

It really is, if/when Smith sells the franchise it’ll be for many times more.

Vert der Frick

Let me take that back a bit. According to Freidman if Arizona gets a stadium

CougarCanuck76

I think you’re missing my point. I’m not saying Smith is getting screwed…

Vert der Frick

Isn't the "value" what someone is willing to pay?

CougarCanuck76

8:02pm

Not necessarily, Smith was probably “willing” to pay more.

Vert der Frick

It’s normal. Basically just becomes a $300 million entrance fee for SLC

I don’t think anything involving professional sport franchise sales is normal.

Are you saying that no other sports have relocation or expansion fees paid to
