So Bronco doesn't like D1 quality athletes...

that are the son's of former BYU players? So Bronco in other words doesn't respect at all the traditions of this program... and the legacy of it... Seriously Bronco has his feelings hurt too much to be a football coach... it's time for him to hang it up.
