WAC attempts to bar Utah Valley from tournament before escrow payment The WAC threatened to release a new bracket for the men's and women's tournament if the Wolverines didn't comply with a court-ordered mandate to place $1 million in escrow by 5 p.m. MDT Tuesday.

Utah Valley WILL play in the WAC tournament even after the conference tried to block a court-ordered injunction over a $1 million escrow deposit.

From a school statement: β€œNo deposit deadline has been established by the Court.”

Homegrown Hezarkhani's debut goal lifts Real Salt Lake by Seattle in home opener If Real Salt Lake's home opener in the club's 22nd season in Major League Soccer is to be believed, the kids are all right.

Real Salt Lake opens season with 1-0 road loss to Vancouver Aziel Jackson's goal in the 57th minute was the difference as Vancouver held off visiting Salt Lake, 1-0 at BC Place in British Columbia, Canada.

The #RSL first-choice XI for Saturday’s season opener was hardly first-choice.

But a squad lacking talisman Diego Luna and DP Morgan Guilavogui and starting two teenagers put in a shift that came within a sliver of a result off the defending West champs.

Here's what to expect as Real Salt Lake opens 2026 season Saturday at Vancouver After a longer-than-expected offseason, a series of major acquisitions, and a preseason campaign spent tweaking its 4-3-2-1 base formation into something that resembles more of a 3-4-2 going forward, ...

Where does No. 22 BYU turn after Richie Saunders' season-ending injury? Saunders' BYU career is over after the Riverton native by way of Wasatch Academy tore his ACL in the opening minute of Saturday's overtime win over Colorado.

An absolutely brutal hit to BYU men’s basketball, which lost not only its 3rd leading scorer and 2nd leading shooter today … but the heart and soul of Cougar hoops

Playing for Real Salt Lake a 'childhood dream' for Eden's Zach Booth. Now he gets to live it After stops with Leicester City, Volendam and Excelsior Rottendom in the Netherlands, Booth will finally get to live out that dream of suiting up for the Claret and Cobalt on a one-year loan deal.

Playing for his hometown professional club was always a dream for Eden, Utah native Zach Booth.

After nearly 6 years in Europe, he’s back to fulfill it.

Looks like BYU’s Chad Kauha’aha’a, who has been on staff as a senior defensive analyst since 2024, has a new job as OLB and EDGE coach. Current DC Kelly Poppinga held similar role as DE coach last year.

Former Utah DL/LB held similar roles at UCLA, UNLV, USC, Oregon State, Wisconsin, et al.

Representation matters as BYU freshman Benally excels in Cougars' 7-0 start

When Sydney Benally laces up her shoes for BYU, which improved to 7-0 for just the 4th time in program history, she does so with an enormous pressure on her shoulders.
