If Pita T. is eligible at Utah to play this yr, BYU has some serious explaining

kotacoug

9/5/13 1:56pm

harder to be eligible at BYU than at Utah

deek1906

9/5/13 1:57pm

I think this has now been debunked. Yes BYU demands higher grades

kotacoug

9/5/13 2:00pm

There is also the matter of the HC/ecclesiastical endorsement.

Byron McNertney

9/5/13 2:01pm

yeah, there is SOME leeway... but not as much leeway as Utah has

deek1906

9/5/13 2:02pm

we offered and knew his scores and grades. nothing changed on that end

kotacoug

9/5/13 2:04pm

His eligibility issues were more based on NCAA issues.

LOL Explain yourself and prove that your statement is true because

I don't have to explain myself to you

The bigger picture is everyone can see you don't know what you're talking about

LosUtes

Silly mormon comments aside, this is correct. Pita's eligibility issues are

Not true anymore now that Utah is in the Pac-12

Yes I read your post, and it was factually incorrect.

Yep. I'm just starting classes at BYU now..

Sounds to me like the Ewe owes the Y a "Thankyou" on a very promising player.

Mantis Mutu

Thievery? Pita contacted the U coaches and they took him. I wouldn't call that

The truth will eventually come out on this someday, maybe.

Yeah, & Santa's still the one bringing the kids' presents. Down the chimney, ya

So "god" is distributing revenge for the sake of BYU football...

LosUtes

I didn't insinuate that at all, pal. What I did plainly state

Mantis Mutu

I'm glad you cleared that up, chief!

It's also possible that Utah was

BYU did not have a scholie available after he decide not to go on a mission this

9/5/13 2:01pm

Why didn't BYU have a scholarship available? They have fewer than 85 kids

Scratch

9/5/13 2:06pm

We have kids coming back from missions

You mean for next year, so there's space now but not next year?

RE: You mean for next year, so there's space now but not next year?

9/5/13 5:09pm

Only mistake so far was believing BYU had his best interest in mind.

LosUtes

9/5/13 5:20pm

Don't take it too personally.

9/5/13 5:45pm

The Y fanbase has to hang their hat on SOMETHING. Football and recruiting is out

LosUtes

9/5/13 9:58pm

Don't cry for us, Slappy. We're actually overachieving given our obstacles.

9/5/13 10:06pm

Missionaries returning this year after the season?

BYUCoug11

9/5/13 2:09pm

They had already handed out their allotment of 25 for the year.

9/5/13 2:10pm

Including one to Chasen Anderson?

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/5/13 2:10pm

Don't think so. Andersen left in June. Pita announced the switch in August.

9/5/13 2:13pm

Chasen had one, that would've gone against the total.

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/5/13 2:15pm

DNews said (Aug 4) that BYU had exceeded allotment of 25:

9/5/13 2:20pm

Thanks. There are ways to count someone for the next year if they don't sign

Scratch

9/5/13 2:24pm

If you look here, Bronco seems to say that they had a scholarship available

Scratch

9/5/13 2:54pm

Not sure about this specific case, but the NCAA does cap the amount of

byubyu

9/5/13 2:10pm

This would have probably been a push forward. When they don't sign in February

Scratch

9/5/13 2:15pm

BYU had 25 LOIs this year.

Shimmy

9/5/13 2:15pm

SO all 25 LOI's showed up to fall camp ?

LosUtes

9/5/13 2:38pm

So your saying that BYU's program has NOT had any players

LosUtes

9/5/13 2:36pm

It isn't a scholarship problem, it was an LOI problem. BYU has the scholarships

Shimmy

9/5/13 2:38pm

Mission guys don't count against the 25 LOI's. They don't even sign LOIs.

LosUtes

9/5/13 2:46pm

You don't know what you are talking about. Misison guys sign LOIs

Shimmy

9/5/13 2:53pm

LOL thank you for doing the leg work and demonstrating poor reading comprehensio

LosUtes

9/5/13 3:20pm

That doesn't mean they didn't sign LOIs

whoneedscorners?

9/5/13 3:39pm

I gave you a link of players who signed LOIs and left immediately

Shimmy

9/5/13 4:05pm

Fair enough, I can compromise

LosUtes

9/5/13 4:56pm

They do count against, and they do sign

This is the right answer.

IN addition to the things already said. His eligibility was REALLY in question

fattycoug

9/5/13 2:13pm

BYU academics vs Utah academics

JohnHaddow

9/5/13 2:19pm

Pita was signed and brought in to BYU

LosUtes

9/5/13 2:44pm

Well, techinically he wasn't "brought in to" BYU. never started school

fattycoug

9/5/13 2:48pm

I know that was wrong, I was just going along with the hypothetical situation.

LosUtes

9/5/13 2:51pm

What i don't understand is why you would be upset even though you

fattycoug

9/5/13 2:46pm

BYU does not have to explain anything

jsta281

9/5/13 3:24pm

His scholarship went to Skyler Ridley (according to Alema and Criddle)

9/5/13 2:58pm

That wouldn't count as one of the initial 25, that would only count against

Scratch

9/5/13 3:08pm

Sorry, I think I misunderstood that. Are you saying Pita's went to Ridley after

Scratch

9/5/13 3:09pm

Anderson still counts toward the original 25 no?

whoneedscorners?

9/5/13 3:21pm

I'm not sure, but Bronco's response makes it sound like it can.
