UTE$ riding high in PAC-12

[Pappy Frog]

"I've got one of the best jobs in the country, and it's getting better," chortled coach Kyle Whittingham. "It's like I've got a new job without having to move."

The financial windfall alone makes the move a winner for the Utes. Soon, TV deals with Fox and ESPN will bring roughly $20 million a year to Utah and the other Pac-12 schools, and that's before the Pac-12 Network begins to flourish.

By comparison, in the Mountain West, the Utes were making the sort of change that spills out in your washer — about $1.2 million annually.

Good for Utah!! Any school in their position would have nuts not to make that move. Great opportunity. Whittingham is one of the good guys.

I am not sure about the whole state being thrilled. Some in Provo would differ on that opinion.........
