Here is how we win it
Each of these came out of talks with the coaches at the University of Utah. Fans fund them a little at a time. That is how you get to feel like part of the team: unique experiences, a seat in the family, and a hand in what the team builds.
$1,000,000
Players meet their opponents visually on a TV wall.
A film room you walk into rather than sit in front of. Opponent tendencies, formations and personnel rendered at full scale, so a player sees the look the way he will see it on Saturday instead of on a laptop. Preparation is the cheapest yard a team can buy.
$1,000,000
Our boys will use the latest weight technology to get stronger.
Velocity-based training, force-plate testing and the load-monitoring hardware that turns strength work into measured work. The gap between a good program and a great one is no longer effort. It is data, and the equipment that produces it.
$250,000
Quarterbacks, defensive backs and others play to the imagination of reality.
In-helmet audio and immersive rehearsal for the positions that live or die on recognition. A quarterback can take a hundred mental reps against a look he will only see twice a season, without a single live snap and without a single extra hit.
Ute Nation takes 0% of gifts. Every dollar that clears goes to the Football Program's projects, not to us.
Card payments are not open yet. This sends your pledge to Sports Advisors, who will follow up with you directly. No payment is taken here.
Gifts go to Kalia Development Group, whose 501(c)(3) application is still in process. A gift today is not yet tax-deductible. If the IRS grants exemption, deductibility can reach back, and we will say so here the day it does. Read the founders' letter.
How you can be part of it
Read everything, post, RSVP to events and follow the players you care about. It costs nothing and always will.
The unique experiences live here: the members-only rooms, the player huddles, the events and the Friday leaderboard. This is the part that feels like being on the team.
The Wall, the Weight Room and the Imagination Helmet. Pick one, give what you like, and it goes to the Football Program. Ute Nation takes nothing.
A hundred thousand fans giving a little beats ten donors giving a lot. That is the whole idea.
Coming soon
The whole player gear package.
Cleats to hoodie, head to toe, in one box. A partnership we cannot name yet. Members hear first and buy first.
