The author expresses mixed feelings about recent developments in BYU athletics. They are grateful for the support from sponsors and excited about the team landing top recruits like Egor and potentially Dybantsa, attributing this success to coach Kevin Young and NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) money. However, the author struggles with the shift from BYU being an underdog team to becoming a major player with significant financial backing. They reflect on their long-standing identity as a fan of an underdog team and the changes brought about by the new era of sports funding. Despite the positive changes, adjusting to this new reality is challenging for the author.
