In this episode of "Locked On Cougars," we dive into the evolving landscape for the BYU Cougars as they navigate recent NCAA rulings and their implications for the Big 12 Conference. With the NCAA's decision to grant extra eligibility to junior college transfers, Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program are in a unique position to retain pivotal players like Darius Lassiter, Mory Bamba and Caleb Etienne. This move could significantly bolster their roster, providing a competitive edge in the upcoming season. Host Jake Hatch breaks down how these changes might influence BYU's strategy and performance on the field.
