Did BYU really send the players home for Thanksgiving?

If this is true, this is so incredibly stupid. In the first place we spent all last week debating about whether a game against utah would happen. Then we spent all evening debating whether or not BYU should play Washington. This when apparently our players were getting ready to head home to hang out with their families?

Normally I would say yeah by all means. But how in the heck are we supposedly keeping our options open regarding scheduling games when our players have the week off. Also, and more importantly, how in the heck is the whole team supposed to remain covid free and not start spreading it around. We are a top 10 team and our team is taking a huge gamble by going home?

If this is true, so much for anyone, any time, any place.
