There are going to be so many legal hurdles to clear with this.  They are a public entity, interested to see if the BOR and the State legislature do.

Ah, the destruction of college football is almost complete. It’s ceiling with be the USFL. Its floor will be Baseketball. Equity firms and corporate America kill most things.

Utah BOR initially approved moving forward with exploring this option. The interest is there. Curious what the State legislature does (you know BYU is going to object unless they can do the same).

Sounds like the Utah AD would head the Board for the new entity with PE. If control over revenue sharing allocation, school facilities, and school staff (like coaches) remain with Utah as described, this could become real. Apparently, Boise is exploring this option as well.
