How does UVU get talent like Aziz Bandaogo and BYU can only get a Noah Waterman?

It’s rough to be honest. Pope is not looking great with madsen doing better and

We said the same at the end of the rose years when pope was at UVU

That’s because we thought it would never get worse than the end of Rose years

Academics and Honor Code come to mind

If true, BYU should just move to FCS level sports or give them up entirely

HC is a net negative; BYU loses more than it attracts.

Other schools have honor codes, the difference is BYU actually enforces theirs

The academic part exists for all but the moral code does not.

When BYU loses a recruit to a lower tier school, I just assume it has more to do with academics than anything else but

we get them once in a while, but not many of those players want BYU
