BYU Athletics Shake-Up: What Kalani Sitake Bypassing Brian Santiago Means for the Cougs | Jake & Ben

Jake & Ben from the KSL Sports Zone review the breaking news and determine what this could mean for BYU Athletics, Kalani Sitake, and Brian Santiago — and why this "fix" might actually be a disaster.
