BYU Football Has To Absorb A Danny Sa'ili-Sized Hole Entering Year Two In Big 12
Listen now
Description
The BYU Cougars saw four players enter the NCAA Transfer Portal on the final day of the spring window being open and the major hit is the loss of recent signee Danny Sa'ili as he exits the program just four months after arriving in Provo and Jake Hatch believes his loss is monumental as compared to those of Ryder Burton, Devin Downing and Chaz Ah You, who also are leaving. Jake then examined what he is calling the Jaxson Robinson dilemma as the reigning Big 12 Conference Sixth Man of the Year is evaluating what his future will look like, whether that is in the NBA via the NBA Draft, a transfer to join Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats or if new BYU basketball head coach Kevin Young can lure Robinson back to Provo for another run. Finally, the show wrapped up with a look at a possible settlement by the NCAA and its Power Conferences, including the Big 12, which could lead to the universities having to revenue share with their athletes to the tune of somewhere near $20 million annually and while Jake thinks it's a move in the right direction for college athletics, will it be something Brigham Young University (BYU) and its sponsoring institution, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, will be game for?
