PROVO — While BYU openly said it's "disappointed" with the severity of punishment the basketball program received after an NCAA investigation, Dave Rose admitted there was a silver lining.
Sure, the Cougars aren't thrilled that they'll be on probation for two years and will be required to vacate all 47 wins they earned when guard Nick Emery played from 2015-17, but at least the NCAA's announcement will allow the program to move on.
In particular, Rose is pleased that this year's team is still eligible to play for a West Coast Conference title and allowed to earn a spot in postseason play.
