BYU a couple years ago was showing off spiffy SOA lockerrooms. Doesn't that

count for something? It's not like the facilities are the old Smith Field House from the 70s. Not not sure a kid chooses a team just because the facilities are a few years newer.

Seems every year I hear about a new coach being added. I can believe BYU is not top 10% in facilities. Provide numbers and specifics before we believe BYU's facilities and programs are the slums of CFB.
