BYU Football Faces Pressure During 100th Season With Unrelenting Big 12 Slate

Locked On Cougars - Daily Podcast On BYU Cougars Football & Basketball

The BYU Cougars are set to celebrate their 100th season as a football program 100 days from now and Jake Hatch says the pressure is on Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program to show that their Big 12 debut a season ago was an outlier and not a recurring theme for Brigham Young University, which has enjoyed more than five decades of sustained success and winning.

Jake then answered listener questions from the Locked On Cougars Insiders group as he addressed what BYU basketball and Kevin Young are doing to fill out his coaching staff, what the best-case scenario for BYU football this fall would be and what the chances of Jaxson Robinson withdrawing his name from the NBA Draft and returning to BYU are, among other questions.

Finally, the show wrapped up with Jake taking to his soapbox ot warn that college athletics needs to steer clear of private equity firms who are circling like sharks with the NCAA on the verge of a landmark settlement that will see BYU Athletics and other schools be able to revenue share with their athletes to the tune of up to $20 million annually.
