Lots of chatter on Twitter today about improved competitiveness for Utah athletics this year. Football, basketball, gymnastics, softball, volleyball, skiing, swimming all in the top-25. Definitely impressive.
But why is this? I think Utah's athletic budget is near the bottom of the pac, correct? Are other teams in the pac with similar financial situations performing as well as us? Or are we outperforming? Did the stars just align this year (luck)? Or has Chris Hill truly found undervalued coaches? Maybe our coaches are consistently finding undervalued talent? Curious to hear some thoughts.
