    Utah football appears set for its best recruiting class in the Pac-12 era

The vast majority of Division I recruits signed National Letters of Intent on NSD. Between recruiting-specific websites and ESPN broadcast entities dedicating countless hours to recruiting, NSD is its own industry.In 2017, the NCAA instituted an early si

    New bill would prohibit disparaging vanity license plates in light of ‘DEPORTM’ controversy
    A Utah state senator introduced a bill Tuesday that would allow the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles to refuse to issue a license plate that disparages someone based on race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, citizenship status and other immutable characteristics.That move from Sen.

    Utah bill would reduce penalties for consenting polygamists while adding to the list of don’ts for abusive ones
    A state senator filed a bill Tuesday that would reduce the penalties for polygamy and lessen what Utah prosecutors would have to prove to pursue polygamists suspected of fraud and sex abuse.The measure from Sen. Deidre Henderson, R-Spanish Fork, has been three years in the making and reflects the complexities of polygamy, a topic Utah has grappled with since territory days. If the bill becomes law, polygamy among consenting adults would be reduced to an infraction — a level below even many
