Dick Harmon: Former BYU basketball player's proposal on how to prevent Cougars from leaving early for the pros

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News

PROVO — Mark Durrant has the answer to stop BYU basketball players from taking off early for professional basketball, the money pot, and the exotic travel: Postpone marriages.

Now, before some have a cardiac episode, he is just having a little fun.

Still, he has a point.

Durrant has street cred in Provo, where he grew up, and is a great follow on Twitter. The former BYU player, who competed during the height of Roger Reid’s run with the Cougars, has an older brother Devin, who played for an Elite Eight BYU team.
