With the support Pope was getting, he probably woulda left a year later had Kentucky not called when they did.

So I'm very happy for the guy. Where we are as a program right now is no small part because of Mark Pope's bullishness in working his butt off to get BYU to a different level of play — a play worthy of its fanbase, athletic resources, & institutional strength.

And his bullishness in challenging those above him who felt powerless in fighting the "can't do that... don't ask..." system in place.
