Show Notes
Kyle Whittinghams departure from the University of Utah was marked by a contentious contract negotiation. Whittingham sought a significant raise and additional perks, including a larger role for his agent in name, image, and likeness funds. Utah countered with an eight-million-dollar deal, but Whittinghams expanded role for Morgan Scalley, the coach in waiting, proved a sticking point. The two sides failed to agree, leading to Whittinghams departure after twenty-one years as head coach. He joined Michigan, with several staffers following him. Utah paid Whittingham a thirteen point five million dollar transition bonus, despite frustration over his recruitment of Utah personnel.
