Plus: Sen. Mitt Romney urged the Republican party to coalesce around a single Trump challenger during a Park City summit
Good morning. Today’s temperatures: Logan: 40 - 53° ⛈️ | 90% 💧 Salt Lake City: 49 - 59° ⛈️ | 80% 💧 St. George: 55 - 78° 🌤️ Some TV classics are making a comeback. The Emmy Award-winning, family-friendly crime show "Monk" will see its original cast return for a movie to be released on the Peacock streaming service in December. And last week, Jerry Seinfeld hinted that his iconic American sitcom about nothing — one of the top-rated television shows of all time — will have a reunion sometime soon. So, as fall weather settles in, snuggle up and rewatch both series before the new releases. It's only a combined total of 205 episodes! Also on our mind: A Utah rabbi confirmed that a Utah man was killed in Israel, classes are continuing safely at the BYU Jerusalem Center and the new BYU-Idaho president was charged with aligning the university with prophetically inspired direction.

| How NIL is transforming college sports |
|
| | There's a storied history of college football coaches using exclusive benefits to lure players — like when the late BYU coach LaVell Edwards and former Utah coach Ron McBride did those Bank One “buddy” spots years ago. But this kind of intercollegiate competition has been taken to an entirely new level since August 2021, when a U.S. Supreme Court ruling paved the way for college athletes to profit from their name, image and likeness, simply known as NIL. In an in-depth and extensively reported piece, Dennis Romboy explains how in a very short time, NIL has cemented itself not only as an integral pillar but a looming threat to the rapidly changing world of college athletics. Some schools embrace it, while some do not. Some states have laws governing it, some do not, making for murky waters. The transfer portal only compounds the situation, especially when lucrative NIL deals are dangled in front of players. How are things shaping up after three years? "Still chaos," says Utah football coach Kyle Whittingham. |

| Speaking to a room full of Republican donors and influencers, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney made another plea for his party to coalesce around a single choice to take on President Donald Trump in the Republican primary. He also said he’s encouraged several Democratic senators — naming two — to run against President Joe Biden, but so far he’s found no takers. Romney made the remarks Tuesday evening during a Q&A with his former running mate and former House Speaker Paul Ryan at the E2 Summit in Park City, a gathering of influential Republican donors and thinkers. Four presidential candidates spoke to summit attendees earlier in the day Tuesday, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was at the dinner Tuesday night; former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley; former Vice President Mike Pence; and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. Romney said he would be happy with any one of them winning the Republican nomination.
