The Sad
1. The Tour of Utah will be permanently terminated.
The Happy
2. New RSL ownership and the NWSL announces the return of the Utah Royals for 2023 season.
3. Salt Lake City awarded the 2034 Winter Olympic Games
4. Rio Tinto Stadium announced as site of the Women's College Cup for 2023
5. The Hawaii bowl is decertified after two consecutive cancellations and no Aloha Stadium. This leaves BYU without a bowl contract for 2022. The Big 12 has Oklahoma in the playoff, and not otherwise having enough bowl eligible teams, the Big 12 allows BYU to play in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.
6. Utah gets to play in the Rose Bowl again. (Notice that I did not say they would repeat at conference champion.)
7. Utah State plays in 2nd consecutive LA Bowl after repeating as MW championship
8. BYU, Utah State, Utah Valley and Weber State are in the NCAA tournament
The Controversial
9. The entire 2022 MLB baseball season is canceled due to the owner lockout.
10. Utah Jazz announce they will no longer be known as the Utah Jazz. New owner Ryan Smith will rebrand with a new nickname and logo.
