So the University of Utah got invited to the PAC-10... urrr 12.
Congrats. Goodbye chance at ever winning a conference baseball/basketball championship.
Yes, I know, the reason they did it was for football. An $18 million payout on the Rose Bowl is a lot prettier than a $1 million pay out on the Las Vegas Bowl.
Hell the 4th/5th place PAC-10 participants stay on the strip at least for the Vegas Bowl. The MWC is housed up in the Freaking Golden Nugget.
Bellagio fountains way trump whatever the crap that screen saver is shown downtown on the ceiling.
So worst case scenario, same bowl game but better accommodations.
But you do have to watch out Utah. More money, more problems.
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance...
—United States Code Section 20, [1]
Because of that little diddy, they created Title IX.
The regulations implementing Title IX require all universities receiving federal funds to perform self-evaluations of whether they offer equal opportunities based on sex.
Looking at the fight song's lyrics.
For Alma Mater's sons and daughters...
Who am I, sir, A Utah Man am I!
There is no "equal opportunity" in the Utah fight song.
Shame on
U, University of Utah. shame shame shame.
