If he were at any other school, with any other coach, Matt Fink understands he might not have been welcomed back. At the conference’s media day last month, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham made it clear he wouldn’t accept the circumstances Fink brought upon himself. “I don’t give up.” A chance at earning the starting job, however, was not the driving …
