I_Bleed_Red

I'm LDS, born and raised in Vegas, and I go to BYU(but I've never cheered for them, even when they don't play UNLV). I think BYU's intentions have been well stated. They are looking for "exposure". Is there increased revenue? Apparently. But the church is already extremely wealthy, and I believe that revenue had little to do with it. As long as the MWC has the mtn, its bad news for all of us. I guarantee if we had a deal with ESPN then BYU would have stayed. I read the other day that next to full time missionaries, BYU Athletics is number 2 in helping people join the church. I think we take them at their word that it is about exposure, and if that's the case it's hard to blame them.

I like Anthony Marshall a ton. He has huge upside, and is going to be a real star for the Rebels. I love his athleticism. With a consistent jumper he could be an NBA prospect. I hope he stays focused in school and on his game. 20 bucks says when he's old and wrinkled he regrets the tattoo :)

Well they definitely need to investigate further. It doesn't make much sense right now. But if he is indeed guilty, he needs to be fired. You can't hold coaches and student-athletes to a different standard. Is it too much to ask for some coaches with a little moral fiber? Stay away from the bars and strip clubs. You aren't in college anymore, as if that was ever a valid excuse.

Not much of a surprise. We've known it was coming for awhile. I don't mind much. I think he could've become a pretty great player for us, but not immediately. We are solid for next year anyway. It's 2011-2012 that I worry about.

I doubt it had anything to do with the honor code. Nothing wrong with following some rules (see Matt Shaw). I bet it was more he didn't want to be an extra on the Jimmer Fredette Show anymore. He knows he's more athletic and thinks he should start. We know Jimmer isn't getting drafted anytime soon...
