State lawmakers are looking at “all options” to respond to Republican State School Board member Natalie Cline’s social media post that targeted a female high school student athlete.

Some of the options could include impeachment, an ethics investigation or possibly addressing her conduct through a state cyberbullying statute.

“I think it’s really important that (board member) Natalie Cline makes good decisions herself. We’ve seen issues like this happen and even in our body. I think it’s really, really important that elected officials who were duly elected make good decisions. What she did was reprehensible and we condemn it very strongly, as much as we possibly can,” Senate President J. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, said Thursday during the Utah Senate leaders’ daily briefing with reporters.

Utah House panel advances state’s first NIL bill

A Utah legislative committee Thursday voted to advance a bill that would exempt college athlete’s NIL agreement submitted to universities from the state’s public records law.

Members of House Education Committee contend that universities in the state would be at a competitive disadvantage for recruiting to athletes if the name, image and likeness contracts were disclosed.

Doug Wilks, Deseret News executive editor, said shielding the records from the public has Title IX implications. Without transparency, he said, it’s not possible to know if female athletes are being treated fairly.

Faith, family, football — and why they matter to Andy Reid

There are three things in Andy Reid’s life that the longtime coach values above the rest — and no, that doesn’t include cheeseburgers.

Football is an obvious one to the outside world — the Kansas City Chiefs head coach is making a bid for his third Super Bowl championship on Sunday (4:30 p.m. MST, CBS) when the Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Family and faith also hold a special place — even more so — for the 25-year veteran NFL coach.

“If I’m not doing football or family, then I’m not doing anything. I’m not a golfer. I don’t go fishing or all that stuff. It’s either family or football or church,” Reid said.
