Way Too Early Predictions For BYU Football's 2024 Season

[Everybody Wang Chung]

BYU is entering its second season in the BIG 12. In order to be competitive, recruiting is going to have to improve fast. This season's recruiting class is a little disappointing.

Right now, BYU sits at number 12 in the recruiting rankings for the BIG 12. Utah sits at number 5. Of course, Colorado with head coach Deion Sanders sits at number 1. I don't think any BIG 12 team can compete with Colorado's NIL war chest. Some estimates put Colorado's NIL at around 50 million. Deion Sanders obviously has very wealthy and powerful friends willing to contribute millions: https://247sports.com/Season/2024-Footb ... e=Big%2012

As a lifelong BYU football fan I'm starting to have doubts they can compete with the other BIG 12 teams in recruiting/NIL money. Oh well, I guess last place in the BIG 12 is better than independence and having to play North Dakota, Montana, Liberty and Weber State. Maybe the Church can contribute the BYU's NIL collective. I would rather my tithing go to BYU football than just sitting in the Ensign Peak Fund.

I'm predicting 5 wins this season for BYU. I hope I'm wrong.
