just LDS people in general will have an alternative to BYU that is very local. BYU has some negatives with their high scholastic score requirements as well as the honor code etc. I hope we don't lose some recruits we want to UVU.

UVU considering Football?

Sounds like it!

Not unless Byu is putting in artificial turf

BYU is not going to allow UVU to use LES. Please...

Why not? Just play there the weeks that BYU doesn't?

BlueVU

Yup

Use the old Provo High field.

Too hard on the turf.

It's done in other places. Miami. Hurricanes and Dolphins share same stadium.

Any place where two college teams share? I get an NFL team and college team

They would need to add turf.

Actually, I think it would be great. Almost another Ricks but just down the road

Like Miami and FIU? The kids choose other P5 schools. They don't stay local.

UVU is at such a lower level they wouldn't really be a threat

How could that even be true. Would UVU play all their games on Thurs night?

The old field and stadium is still there. Stands and all.

I guess it's doable - other stadiums do it. Back-to-back games would be hard.

They should field a JC program to feed players to BYU (like Ricks once did). 🙂

Utah vs UVU in WAC football... Compelling. Rivalry in the making? Yes!

Since Ricks abandoned Football we’ve needed a farm program, this could be perfect!
