Yes, better to be good and something, than lose money & be bad at something big.

UVU is a good school. My daughter just graduated from there. I like it. But, to pretend that UVU would become relevant in football — with BYU, uu, USU, Weber State and even Dixie in the same state.... is pretty stupid.

Like uu and their gymnastics and BYU and their cross country and volleyball teams (and soccer and rugby), focus on soccer, rugby, baseball.... teams that have the best shot of rising to the top and making UVU a destination.

Info On UVU Football Team Potential

Except they already planned out the vineyard campus and it has a soccer stadium

1/14/21 12:56pm

I forgot to mention that UVU has the only D1 Men's Soccer in Utah as well.

Both wrestling and soccer go bye bye if UVU adds a football team.

Can't a stadium host both soccer and football games?

Cougarrr

And Track & Field if you wanted.

Cougs4Lfe

1/14/21 1:13pm

Soccer on a football field is horrible. The field is never wide enough.

It's okay as long as you don't put a traditional size track around it as a limit

Seems like a no brainer. Utah county and being able to recruit without the

There is no emotional connection at all to UVU for kids in this valley.

1/14/21 1:07pm

Could be built especially if they are able to win

Kids do Concurrent Enrollment through UVU. Some even finish with an Associate's.

Cougs4Lfe

1/14/21 1:11pm

This is a circular argument. I didn't just go to BYU because my Dad

Totally agree... I'm a UVU grad and 100% committed to BYU fandom. I hope UVU

Why choose? As long as they're not our rival I see no reason to have to choose.

Cougs4Lfe

1/14/21 5:11pm

I would love to take the time to watch and cheer for both but with 50-60+ hour

What's the draw to Utah County if you don't wan to live the Honor Code?

1/14/21 1:35pm

Look at the sheer volume of kids that go there from western states. Get the fan

kotacoug

1/14/21 1:54pm

Uh...do you want the unvarnished truth about HC violations

Elvis

It's Honor Code Lite

groy

1/14/21 2:00pm

These kids all wish they were at BYU. They want to be in Utah County

Cougardon1

1/14/21 2:02pm

1st half disagree. 2nd half agree.

Cougs4Lfe

1/14/21 2:26pm

That's not true at all. Maybe in the 90's and early 00's when in-state tuition

1/14/21 2:28pm

How many applied to BYU?

Cougardon1

1/14/21 4:22pm

IDK, and neither do you.

1/14/21 4:36pm

Yeah, this is an antiquated, arrogant statement, and a major reason kids are

1/14/21 4:39pm

Yeah, UVU football could become like Lamar in no time.

Football at UVU Makes no sense. But going all in on other sports does.

1/14/21 1:07pm

Yes, better to be good and something, than lose money & be bad at something big.

Benfica1

1/14/21 3:05pm

Agreed, and the school and state administrators agree with you as well

1/14/21 3:51pm

It makes sense if for some reason, say 10+ years from now, LES is available.

Orem58thBall

Don't worry at some point they will purchase BYU's football team...

BDAWG

I'd love for Tuminez to become BYU's president at some point.

Florwood

My first-hand knowledge of the institution says it's not going to happen

1/14/21 3:50pm

That is a much higher figure (4-5X) than what heard from my friend in the UVU AD

BamaCoug

If it did happen, I would be a season ticket holder...sadly, it wont happen soon

1/15/21 10:11am

SLCC should have a football team before UVU

Bobmarleyjr

1/15/21 4:23pm

yup need more JUCOs. There was Dixie and Snow now only Snow. SLCC should have a

And Ricks

Bobmarleyjr

1/15/21 4:35pm

that shipped sailed but yes Ricks was a big feeder, thats why LDS BC should have

BYU Grounds

1/15/21 4:43pm

I think Cache Valley or CEU would be better options. LDS BC is too small

Bobmarleyjr

1/15/21 4:49pm

Sure hope not. My state taxes are enough funding another college football

Bullrider

1/14/21 4:06pm

But would you be in favor of it if they took some money from the U to fund it?
