UVU considering Football?

FT487

3/20/23 10:49pm

Sounds like it!

DieHarder

3/20/23 10:50pm

Not unless Byu is putting in artificial turf

1984coug

3/20/23 10:56pm

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

TrueBlue67

3/20/23 10:59pm

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

BlueVU

3/20/23 11:06pm

Yup

BYUJazzKicks

3/20/23 11:14pm

Use the old Provo High field.

LeGrandBleu

3/20/23 11:23pm

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

SUAVO

3/21/23 6:11am

Vegas too.

AntiSNOT

3/21/23 8:33am

Vegas has grass for raiders artificial for rebels and everything else

1984coug

3/21/23 9:07am

They would need to add turf.

Cougstreak

Scheduling would be tough...

Maybe Utah can join with them and create a new league

Uvu will never have football, I don’t care what has ever been said or planned or

That’d be tight. And for those who think

3/20/23 11:11pm

Stadium of fire is far from legit imo. The sound is terrible and the entire production come across as cheap and hokie

Nuke

3/21/23 7:49am

You’re right about the sound, especially in certain parts

BYUJazzKicks

3/21/23 8:02am

Huh? Not sure what you're smoking there. Ive been twice ('03 and '15) and both

AntiSNOT

We've went the past few years. Last year was terrible

I'm ok with on occasion, but not as their shared regular home.

This could be bad for BYU, in my opinion. Some players from Provo, Orem and

3/20/23 11:19pm

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

FT487

3/20/23 11:42pm

Except Ricks was JuCo and UVU would be Division 1 (FCS). Still, they would

With the transfer rules the way they are it might as well be. Byu is not

But, despite UVU and BYU not competing much for the same players, there is an

Not just a few years back... they beat us this very last season... by 15... in

Ugh. I had somehow been able to forget that fact. Oh well...it is what it is.

84 natlchamps

3/23/23 9:28pm

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

Y05

3/21/23 3:59am

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

krindorr

3/21/23 7:00am

Said the BYU basketball team.

3/21/23 8:25am

Some major differences there

17 years at UVU?! I hope you are at least closer to graduation today than when you started.

I can also confirm this

Long overdue! Hope they do it!

CougarGuy84

3/20/23 11:40pm

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

Great38

3/21/23 12:04am

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

Fido

3/21/23 9:23am

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

Great38

3/21/23 10:34am

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

Futbol is UVU’s football. Give it up already.

There has been talk about this since the ‘80’s.

Mot

3/21/23 7:20am

Maybe they meant Provo high.

Heath Squashwell

3/21/23 7:58am

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

germm

3/21/23 8:41am

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

Too close to April Fools Day. I am not buying it.

There is still the old Provo High stadium

jollaksentie

I will vote this down with all my fervor. It is a waste of money.

BYU Grounds

A football program isn't about making money through the program
