There are 21 former BYU players in the NFL.
These 9 players could be poised for breakout seasons, including Chris Brooks (Packers), Tyler Batty (Vikings), Jakob Robinson (49ers), and Jack Kelly (Giants).
Who else made the cut?

Maybe I’m just pessimistic, but why do I feel like Texas Tech’s indefensible handling of Brendan Sorsby is the first step leading to the ultimate demise of the Big 12?
Is this going to kill the conference?

There are 21 former BYU Cougars in the NFL.
It’s going to be tough for these six players to grind their way onto a roster or practice squad, including Chase Roberts and Caleb Etienne.
Can they do it?

The Sorsby outrage rings hollow from commentators, podcasters, and writers who work for sports media companies that have sold their souls to the gambling companies.
If gambling is such a problematic moral evil, especially in sports, stop greedily taking their advertising money.

What Texas Tech is doing with Sorsby could irreparably harm the entire Big 12. Brett Yormark and the rest of the B12 presidents must act now to ensure he doesn’t play. Like, now!
CBS Sports hit the nail on the head today.

The words “conversations” and “dialogue” coming from leaders dealing with tough issues is code for, “I’m not willing to take a stand for what’s right, and am hoping this all just magically goes away.”

Statement on behalf of Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark: "We had a thoughtful and productive conversation with our athletics directors today as we continue to work through the broader implications of this situation. Many of our athletics directors voiced their opinions. We will continue to have open and honest dialogue amongst the group and until there is something to report, these conversations will remain within the conference."

As a card collector I love the @SCN_Pod but I’m dying right now at this unfortunate commercial break.
What does an awful “winter” look like?
Empowered women.

BYU incoming freshman Bruce Branch is going No. 3 overall in the 2027 NBA Draft in the latest mock.
Tyran Stokes and Jordan Smith have been the consensus No. 1 and 2 in some order, with Branch now claiming No. 3.

If I was Big Ten commish, I’d get agreement from my SEC/ACC counterparts and agree to not schedule any Big 12 team in any sport for the next five years minimum.
Put all the pressure on Brett Yormark and fellow Big 12 leaders to fix this now or suffer irreparable consequences.

93 days until BYU football!
Today I profiled No. 93, redshirt freshman DT Kelepi Latu-Finau.
The young stud from California passed up a host of Power Four offers to come to BYU. He might be the best kept secret on the defensive line…

Check out my profile on No. 94, DT Anisi Purcell. He was an unsung hero on last year’s D-line. What’s in store for him in 2026?

If Texas can’t manage its schedule that’s their problem, not Tx Tech’s. Texas and the SEC made the decisions to poach/leave the Big 12 so everything they’re complaining about is their own fault.
But now they seem to want special treatment from the CFP and punishment for BYU and TT for issues they caused. That’s BS and I hope the @CFBPlayoff doesn’t cower to them. The ‘Strength of Record” metric takes into consideration both performance and schedule strength and creates an objective ranking. That objectively is fair, but the SEC demanding subjective favoritism isn’t.
Texas gets lots of extra money from being in the SEC plus more chances for a CFP bid. They don’t deserve and aren’t entitled to even more opportunity.
You don’t hear the Big Ten or our teams whining like that, and we have tougher teams in our league than the SEC does.
