BigBrotherUte Walk-on

a bad path just because you verbally "committed" to it, especiallt when it cones to teenagers and college. Since he committed BYU's future outlook has gone the wrong direction.

Are you advocating for BYU to not take any transfers on?

How often do you commit to stay with a company?

Most P5 conferences now offer 4-year scholarships, not year to year.

No they are not, kids should be allowed to transfer for multiple reasons

All P5 scholarships are guaranteed.

You are correct with conditions, and those conditions can be enforced if needed
