Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) was awarded $100,000 in funding from the grants to serve Arkansas Veterans through its Disaster Response and Outdoor Adventure programs and recently launched Warrior PATHH training program.
SALT LAKE CITY Not even a costly pandemic can prevent college athletic programs from tossing around millions of dollars in the name of winning football games.
Whatever it takes to get them, many universities across the country are opening the bank trying to lure the hottest coaches in college football. Too bad for those administrations possibly at BYU? not willing to match or exceed the big-money offers that are expected to roll in for new gotta-have coach.
Truth is, BYU should shower coach Kalani Sitake with more love. Never forget money talks.
Don t think Sitake didn t take notice that BYU gave basketball coach Mark Pope a long-term contract after last season, his first as the head coach at the school. In dramatic fashion in the locker room after a game last season, athletic director Tom Holmoe announced an extension for Sitake that runs through the 2023 season, but he may need to offer more years and cash to rebuff Arizona s potential interest.
PROVO Not even a global pandemic could slow college football s coaching carousel.
One of the latest coaching searches already has replacement candidates that span the Wasatch Front. When Arizona parted ways with Kevin Sumlin after the former Texas A&M coach s 0-5 season (and a 9-15 record in three years), it didn t take long for reports to peer toward the Beehive State to find his replacement.
BYU s Kalani Sitake and Jeff Grimes, as well as Weber State s Jay Hill, have all been fingered as potential candidates to replace Sumlin in Tucson. Would any of them take it?
According to USA TODAY Sports, other potential candidates include former Washington and UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel; USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell; and former BYU quarterback Steve Sarkisian, who is currently Nick Saban s trusted offensive coordinator at Alabama.
Colorado Simmental Association (CSA) held its 50th annual meeting in a virtually format. Award winners were recognized, and business completed in the milestone celebration, held on Zoom.
