Heading home late on a Friday night in the middle of a pandemic, I remember driving by Springville High School and being unpleasantly surprised. After seeing both digital and physical signage of “SHS Homecoming Football Game,” I was met with rows upon rows of cars, bleachers overflowing with people and an entire community that seemed […]
Having Brock Anderson as a roommate was, undoubtedly, one of the most fun experiences of my life. However, I never expected to see him on UVU’s men’s basketball roster. “Growing up, I made a list of basketball milestones I wanted to achieve. Playing Division I basketball was on that list, and was always a dream […]
When I look back at my previous three years attending Utah Valley University, there are many moments to choose from as the most “life-changing” — I’ve covered countless athletic events, done plenty of postgame interviews and have seen many back-and-forth games come down to an epic finish. When I think of the most important experiences […]

Despite usually being hesitant to jump to conclusions, I have to say: Utah Valley’s men’s basketball team is looking like they have the potential to be very special this season. I know that I am basing this claim off of a sample size of five games, but being able to compete with Kentucky, and almost win, at Rupp Arena isn’t something I think anyone expected when the season began. Although UVU lost 82-74, observers could see that UVU competed at a much higher level than expected and gave UK a pretty good scare.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom took a path of action and signed the Fair Pay to Play Act into law and ensured California college athletes could make money off of their likenesses and receive personal endorsements beginning in 2023. The NCAA is not happy about it, to say the least — they have threatened to bar […]
The change being implemented in California is a step in the right direction, and it would be smart for state legislatures to do the same. With all of the money athletes bring into state institutions, maybe it would be nice if they could make a little money for themselves.

Pope leaves behind UVU’s men’s basketball program after their all-time best season, racking in 25 total wins and a home record of 14-1 in 2018-2019. The feeling of a coaching […]
