is OnlyU. He's right on with his predictions nearly 100% of the time. Deeply connected with the program. He says things are really quiet at the moment for the football program.

His predictions are sometimes a bit on the rose-ish side, but he is usually at least mostly right... Granted, he is just a fan (an extremely well connected one).

This is what he says:

"Kind of quiet so [I] don’t jump on as much right now.

All I will say is don’t believe everything you read or hear on the local radio show.

I’m fairly bullish on Utah’s position when it’s all said and done (5-6 years). I expect the program to be in the top 25 for the foreseeable future and that helps but more importantly our research $, academic rank/standing, enrollment and geo/media market will all improve during that time and unless the number is 40ish between 2 conferences (I don’t see that as a realistic possibility based on what I’ve been told) I think we find a way in.

I personally put the number around 48 and we are a virtual lock to be included in 5 years time.

I’m also fairly confident that the media deal surpasses the Big12’s deal but not by an amount that makes a huge difference. At the end of the day all you’re trying to do is stay productive for the next 5 years. That’s really the only time table that matters to me."
