I'm struggling to think of a reason why this isn't a bigger story

Always follow the money. That will generally lead you to the answer.

I thought Randle was a decent guy til the aftermath of that game.

The fact that he is in leadership at the u is enough to know is is not a good

Because it doesn’t cast BYU in a bad light

I get a slight sense of persecution complex from your post, which IMO is only

You are right.

How are you measuring it's size?

Has it been in 1280? In the Trib? Picked up by national news?

runnincoug

Dec 20, 7:51am

Search shows it in the Trib. I don't know about 1280/97.5, but I think so.

Madam Pattirini

It was discussed on multiple radio stations.

How many mention the connection to the board of trustees?

Is that true?

Discussed on 1280 and KALL 700 both, but not since soon after the game

Just imagine the frenzy if it would have been a u cheer coach at a BYU game?

Ojiisan

This says much more about BYU actually.

This is true, but… is it the media that’s yokel, or the public who eats it up

Polecat

I think this is true cuz the Y/Church chooses to not make a fuss about things.

It's Utah. Conveniently, negative stories don't get covered.

rainorsnow

Especially nephew of the chair of board of trustees. Should be national news

runnincoug

Dec 20, 7:32am

There are different aspects of a response. I’d think the U would ban him from games & that would be ok. The cheer coach

Because it wasn’t the religious school that threw the water bottle

There is some guy on here who loves, adores, defends Randle but haven’t heard from him on this one

Did Cox ever weigh in on this?

Local coverage was always going to be minimal. Long history of glossing over

Am I the only one that thinks this isn’t a national story? I don’t like that it

nah, I just don't think a kid throwing a water bottle at someone warrants

There might be some other part of the story you're glossing over. Maybe.

It wasn't racist so it didn't show up in ESPN... oh wait...

Utah sees what happened as natural consequences

VenomFarmer

Too bad the victim can't sue the school.

This is as excellent an illustration of media bias and agenda as anything.

Quite frankly, a young man made a stupid emtoional decision.

BYU2ATM

Dec 20, 10:31am

That doesn't excuse the university president for not stepping up and apologizing

Ghost of Peanut

Dec 20, 11:23am

the young man made a bad decision...because of the toxic atmosphere.

Max Hall's parents didn't even get injured and that was a bigger story.

Because he was 18, I hope it doesn't ruin his life. He should pay all the

You’d have to think if it happened at byu it would be a bigger story

ColonelMustard

THIS happening in Provo was uglier.

Dec 20, 11:33am

The Ute fan would like everybody to know that not knocking somebody out is

Ghost of Peanut

Ahhh, so as long as no one got hurt, then that's not so bad in Provo.

It was ugly in RES. It's ugly wherever fans do it.

Ghost of Peanut

Dec 20, 12:20pm

Both schools threw trash. One injured someone with it. That’s why it’s worse

Brandoblueblood

We don't need to argue degrees of ugliness

tmurphey44

BINGO! Agreed. Have a nice weekend.

I Bleed Red

Dec 20, 1:04pm

I’ll do it. Y and U Both threw trash. Only U injured a person. Definitely worse

Brandoblueblood

I was at the game in 2013 and the Utah game this year. You're wrong if you think there were more BYU fans throwing

I'm struggling with why people care so much about a Randall apology.

Are you waiting for a Netflix special or a 20/20 segment?

When it is a huge donor's family member Utah will obviously suppress the story.
