Griz football fans who’ve questioned scheduling division II teams such as Ft. Lewis College might get a kick out of a football column in Sunday’s Salt Lake Tribune.
Written by Tribune columnist Gordon Monson and headlined, "This is one game the Cougs had no business playing," it pans Brigham Young University’s scheduling of Eastern Washington for a midseason “tuneup,” which the Cougars won, 42-7.
BYU paid a handsome $325,000 to the Eagles for... “a victory,” wrote Monson.
He contnued: “It was football’s version of prostitution. Easy but not cheap.”
