What world do we live in where there are 3 LDS coaches in the top 25, and BYU

Tell me again why CB doesn't have an "eye roll" button?

Why would you roll your eyes? Seems like a very legitimate point

A world where none of those guys has to deal with an HC

Bronco never dealt with the HC?????

Tell me Niumatalolo doesn't deal with way more limitations than Sitake.

No one is getting kicked out of the the Naval Academy for having beer or sex.

Blueto

12/4/19 1:43pm

Beer: They might be if they're < 21. Sex: depends on if they're accused of rape.

This post makes no sense. Of course no school allows rape. I'm saying if a

Blueto

I may be wrong but I think the drinking age for military personnel is 18?

12/4/19 2:20pm

Not true. Unless they are stationed somewhere with a lower drinking age.

Metallicat

You know way better than I would. I stand corrected. Thank you for your service

12/4/19 4:06pm

They’ll be put on restriction, but not kicked out.

Metallicat

12/4/19 3:18pm

If they get caught underage drinking multiple times they will be kicked out

califcougar

This is true. ^^

No one is going to let you commission if you can’t follow simple rules. You will

califcougar

For sure, I didn’t mean to make it sound like they turn a blind eye to it.

Metallicat

12/4/19 6:26pm

Like literally any other school?

Resurgens

12/4/19 6:59pm

And no one attending BYU is expected to serve in the military after graduating.

ataylor

12/4/19 1:46pm

They have different ones

2FarGone

12/4/19 1:47pm

Do we ever have players who are also in ROTC? They have a committment to serve.

BleedCougarBlue2

12/4/19 1:58pm

So like 1 or 2 a decade? Not close to the same.

cougfanz

I don't think he has any scholarship limitations at Navy

12/4/19 2:19pm

Yea but I believe they get a certain number that they can

cougfanz

12/4/19 2:51pm

I don't think the Ivies offer any athletic scholarships either.

12/4/19 2:57pm

Only need based.

dratax

12/4/19 3:14pm

They don’t. Similar need based. But their “offers”

cougfanz

12/4/19 3:48pm

Yeah I don't think it really helps them much, and their recruiting ranks show it

BYU313

12/4/19 3:20pm

The limitation is they can’t admit anyone they want. It’s easier for football

califcougar

Niumatalolo's job is much tougher than Sitake's. As one poster above observed,

Probably the right answer.

OK, I need an explanation on what offer Bronco rejected

2FarGone

12/4/19 1:46pm

Bronco was under contract another season

donnerstag

12/4/19 1:52pm

When no extension was offered, correct. He looked elsewhere. Bronco was 9-4 in

The difference is the recruits weren't wondering whether Bronco would get

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:04pm

Meh, Tom chooses to not lock up a coach that has just won 99 games in 10 years

777

12/4/19 2:14pm

Tom only does what the BOT wants him to do

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:29pm

I know you don't have any proof on Bronco rejecting an offer

kimdaddy35

12/4/19 1:47pm

Who has actual proof of anything? Either believe it or don't. Simple

ReggaeCoug

12/4/19 1:54pm

Bronco was under contract with BYU through 2016

donnerstag

12/4/19 1:55pm

Bronco didn't get an extension before his final year started.

12/4/19 2:21pm

Bronco's final year of the contract was 2016

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:32pm

Right. He left in 2015, with one year left.

12/4/19 2:34pm

BYU did the exact same thing in 2013

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:43pm

The article on Niumatalolo basically says exactly what I am saying

kimdaddy35

12/4/19 2:24pm

I think Tom was going to make him hire Detmer

12/4/19 2:32pm

Yes. That was the string attached to Ken's offer

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:33pm

That's how BYU does most things

donnerstag

12/4/19 2:38pm

So you are just going to assume that Bronco negotiated behind Tom's back

777

12/4/19 3:01pm

ADs are generally in the loop when another school inquires about a head coach
