The rivalry between BYU and Utah is heating up, with "tampering" allegations adding fuel to the fire. This podcast episode dives into the complex dynamic between these two programs and explores whether these accusations are simply a sign of the times in college football.

We'll examine the claims of improper recruiting practices, focusing on how the lack of clear guidelines and rules in the NIL market, combined with the rampant use of the transfer portal, has created a perfect storm for these kinds of disputes. In an era where fewer and fewer players remain loyal to their original programs, what constitutes "tampering," and is it even enforceable?

This episode will delve into the specific allegations between BYU and Utah, analyzing the motivations behind them and the potential impact on the rivalry. We'll also discuss the broader implications for college football. How has the landscape of recruiting and player movement changed, and what are the long-term consequences for the sport?

We'll debate whether the current situation is sustainable. Can the NCAA effectively regulate player movement and NIL, or are we entering a new era where traditional notions of loyalty and recruiting are obsolete? What does this mean for the future of college athletics, and how will it shape the competitive balance between programs?

Tune in as we navigate the murky waters of tampering accusations, the evolving role of NIL, and the transfer portal's impact on college football.

The rivalry between BYU and Utah has always been intense, but the emergence of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) has added a new layer of complexity. This podcast episode examines the role of NIL in the BYU/Utah rivalry, exploring whether it's fueling the fire or damaging a classic college football tradition.

We'll analyze how BYU's NIL prowess, with boosters reportedly contributing significant funds, is perceived by Utah fans. Is BYU's NIL success seen as a legitimate competitive advantage, or is it viewed as an unfair disruption of the rivalry's balance? We'll delve into the ways in which NIL is changing the landscape of college football, particularly for rival programs.

This podcast episode analyzes the upcoming NFL Draft in Green Bay, WI, and examines the prospects from BYU and Utah. While this year might be a quieter one for the Beehive State rivals in terms of the number of players expected to be drafted, we'll dive into the reasons behind this and explore the potential for a surge in future drafts.
