The BYU Cougars are working in a college athletics universe that is so out-of-whack that there seems to be no good answers for what the right course of action is, particularly when it comes to NIL and Jake Hatch believes that the best action to settle things down may have to come from within as compared to having at outside entity step in and regulate matters.

The BYU football program got some good news Monday night when 2025 defensive line prospect Kelepi Vete announced his commitment to play for Sione Po'uha, Jay Hill, Kalani Sitake and the rest of the Brigham Young University (BYU) football program and Jake's fervent hope is that Kelepi's pledge will induce his brother, Siosiua Vete, to join him in Provo.

Finally, the show wrapped up with some thoughts on Noah Waterman and the BYU basketball program after he formally put his name into the NCAA Transfer Portal as Jake attempted to add some context to his comments about Waterman's role with Kevin Young and BYU juxtaposed against what he could get on the open market in NIL and the transfer portal.
