If I'm Belichick or any coach I try and get as much information as possible just like he does. That being said, winning percentages of the teams that get these guys are unchanged from winning percentages of teams that don't.

I mostly agree w/ you, but I can sort of understand the "espionage" concerns...

Washington has access to every single play that Utah St has run

Of course every team studies a lot of film, but especially in the NFL...

The difference with that is that they sign a player from the same year.

Belichick might disagree w/ you.

Could Stew have blocked Davis?

He did...

So it would only prevent Garretson from going for free for a year?

RedlandsCoug

Yep, which would not be cheap in Seattle. Bronco didn't block Leavitt.

I guess. I don't know enough about either situation to get upset over it.

BYU screws up a lot of things, but they do transfers right. If it's truly "about

I agree. I'm just not sure the conclusion I think is trying to be made is fair.

it is hypocritical on many fronts.

And as Fattycoug said above, Wells would go to UW right away if given the option

Maybe. Like I said schools in Utah (minus Westminster) aren't expensive

I'll never understand why coaches have a say in this.

This kind of power should not be available to coaches. 1 yr sitting is pleny

Aggies just lost any moral high ground they thought they had with Riley.

That is the point. BYU releases kids to USU, USU does not reciprocate.

Leavitt knows the BYU defense inside and out. USU's a big game for us.
