Cougar fans are sure there is something unethical going on with Epps. He had to leave for NIL money. Why else would he leave Provo?
1. The first thing that comes to mind is the honor code. I support BYU having an honor code. However, it really hurts them with non-LDS players.
2. Epps might have seen a greater opportunity to get into the NFL with another team. (I don’t know this but it is always a possibility.)
3. He simply didn’t like the environment in Provo. Some embrace it and others – not so mucn.
There are other things as well. But, there is no reason to get into them. I watched Epps play when he was healthy and he is an excellent WR. I doubt Utah is in the running for this kid, but I would love to have him on our team.
