witch hunt that followed? Coach vowing not to want to play byu again because of the dangerous atmosphere.

Blows my mind the difference in response and outcry.

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

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

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

It was discussed on multiple radio stations.

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?

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.

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

runnincoug

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

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

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

Common occurrence in your world of football fandom?

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.

Utah sees what happened as natural consequences

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.

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

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.

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

THIS happening in Provo was uglier.

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.

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

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

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