There is clear evidence that they are willing to pay (See AJ). You pay players who want to be at BYU.

Soupie Grandma Sycamore

Also, don't substitute on offense with under 10 on the play clock.

benny1982

This. I hate the way the rule is written, but the offense can't substitute that late.

CougPrime

Needs fixed from both ends. O has to sub w/in a certain time & D has a certain time to respond.
