even ask for a release. What would be the point? Why does he need one? With being a true freshman combined with having sat out last year due to injury, he has 99.99% odds of redshirting no matter what.
As for scholarship money for his redshirt freshman year, are you really going to try and convince me that dear old dad doesn't have the money for college?
I get it. His dad decided he could indeed let Chasen play for him. A little late in the process, but the decision's been made. Go do it. He's free to do so, and he's free to do so without BYU lifting a finger on this matter.
