Pittsburgh head coach Past Narduzzi watches the first half of an NCAA college football game against Miami, Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022, in Miami Gardens, Fla.Pitt head coach Pat Narduzzi used part of his National Signing Day press conference on Wednesday to accuse theof tampering with a recruit who had been verbally committed to the Panthers, but later flipped to the Utes.
, he did not say “NIL,” but he rubbed his thumb against his index and middle fingers as he spoke, implying that money was the motivating factor for Zipperer’s flip to Utah.During a wide-ranging interview with The Salt Lake Tribune this week, the Utah athletic director was asked about the perception from some fans that NIL collectives connected to the Utes are not spending enough to compete with other programs.
“It’s frustrating, and I am furious at the Pitt head coach for his comments yesterday,” Harlan told The Tribune. “I have made it very clear to my counterpart at Pitt that that’s unacceptable. It’s not the way we do things at the University of Utah. “It is completely unacceptable to throw the University of Utah under the bus and I will not stand for anyone accusing us of something that is not true. I made my feelings known,” Harlan continued.
Back in the spring, Narduzzi accused USC and Lincoln Riley of NIL inducement after Biletnikoff Award winner Jordan Addision transferred to the Trojans. My only thought here is that if you’re going to move a game to Vivint, it has to be a name opponent. Can’t play a low or mid-major at Vivint and have 1,500 people show up. What that ultimately looks like will demand attention, because remember, the game Wednesday was only at the “neutral” site at Vivint because TCU insisted on playing the front end of the contract last season off campus at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth.
