Ol’ Ute Radio with Johnny McKeon and Sascha Blume
Johnny McKeon breaks the news about the suspension of the University of Utah Rugby team for 2013-2014 season just days before the Annual Wasatch Cup game against BYU.

Johnny talks about another sport that Lance Armstrong is not allowed to compete in, competitive swimming. Sascha Blume talks about Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban statements about his willingness to draft NCAA All-Star Brittany Griner. Johnny shares his admiration for Cuban’s no holds barred attitude. The conversation leads into a debate about whether or not Brittany Griner could compete with men’s team in the National Basketball League. Sascha Blume mentions other great female basketball players such as Ann Meyers Drysdale and Chamique Holdsclaw which Sascha mistakenly refers to as Shamika Coleslaw. Johnny believes Griner could be an amazing 6^th “Woman” off the bench and could make more money on the bench in the NBA than starting in the WNBA.
