BYU basketball Blue/White game was scheduled for BYUTV broadcast, then was suddenly taken away from us. Not a good look
Complain about Pope, but he errored on the side of openness and inclusiveness.

This is a signal that coaches plan to sacrifice generosity and joy for fans for whatever unproven advantage the program might gain from the lockdown.

Really? What harm to the program compared to the withheld joy for so many who love the program and have looked forward to October 9 for months?

This was a conscious, deliberate reversal to cancel the previously scheduled broadcast, and it stinks.

This is not a for profit institution for which you work, not a for profit company.

In for profit, your job is please the owners, period.

Non profits don't have owners but members of the association. Universities have many constituencies to serve. Students, faculty, alumni, donors, administration, the Board of Trustees, parents, and more. It's more complicated than the NBA.

You got this one wrong coach. Holmoe and Santiago know better. Surprised they didn't reverse the reversal. I love everyone in the program. This Blue/White game is what we do to kick off the season.Thousands can NOT show up at the game for a 1001 different reasons.

Not a fatal mistake. We'll love KY's leadership and the program just as much but we feel ripped off. Assume this choice reflects a misunderstanding of the nature of the institution and the nature of the constituencies. Obviously coaches are doing well with all the big and important people. The thousands here you haven't met matter a lot also, sometimes more. University officials find out when they are on the block, that student, faculty, alumni, and parent support can rally around them and save them in more troubling times.

Anyway, I can drive there to watch, many I know and care about cannot attend.

I do believe if Coach Young understood the bigger university picture better, he would allow the game televised.
