I don't believe anybody is saying what you think they're saying and for some reason no matter how many times people correct you, you keep saying the same incorrect thing. They're *NOT* saying "it's no big deal". They're saying "I'm not convinced it's happening."
I suspect it **MIGHT** be happening, but really don't have much of any idea. You should be able to recognize that BYU sports reporters (as well as reporters in general) very, very frequently get their facts wrong.
There are two pretty irrational takes on opposite ends on this ... you're on one of those extreme sides.
