- With BYU now in the Big 12, we’ve been wondering what that moment was like when the power five conference called BYU. Deputy Athletic Director Brian Santiago joins us tonight in studio. Brian won a state championship at Provo High School and played college basketball and baseball at Utah Valley and basketball at Fresno State. He finished the 1993-1994 season with the Fresno record in assists with 233 and he was second in the nation-hitting 50 percent of his three-point shots. In 2002 he was inducted into the Utah Valley Athletic Hall of Fame. He is the current Deputy Athletic Director at BYU. It is our pleasure to welcome Brian Santiago to Y’s Guys.
NOW, IN APRIL OF 2024 HE ASSISTED IN BRINGING KEVIN YOUNG TO BYU TO BE THE NEW HEAD COACH. TOM HOLMOE HAS A GLOWING REVIEW OF BRIAN. GLAD TO GET TO KNOW YOU BRIAN.
Sorry Brian but Courtside ticket holders do not want to pay $25,000 per seat and if your buddy wants to buy up the entire front row just to prove how awesome he is in the public eye maybe you should politely just ask him for a 2 million dollar cash donation to the program instead behind the scenes without any attached benefits. You already jacked up those very same ticket prices by 80% this year so people sitting on the court could have a better view of a very mediocre basketball team at best. Thank goodness you haven't been able to get a top 25 out of conference team to come to the Marriot Center ever.......SMH. Maybe you guys can ask him that question next time......maybe.
Thanks, @michcoug for taking the time to express your thoughts. We appreciate it and will be sure your comment gets passed along to everyone who was on this week’s livestream. Also, thank you for supporting Y’s Guys!
A couple top 25 out of conference teams that have come to the Marriott Center (probably the opposite of what you want in the Big 12… but nonetheless…) in previous years, specifically before the independence shake-up are Wake Forest in 09. They were ranked top 10 if I remember right (maybe #7? And we narrowly lost, it went down to the wire and they had some strong NBA talent that year). Also Arizona Wildcats in 2003, and the Stanford Cardinal in 2000. Of course San Diego State was ranked many times as conference mates along with many others including Air Force, Gonzaga, St. Mary’s, UNLV and even Utah State etc.
On the ticket sales, if BYU’s athletic programs can maximize their dollars for the betterment of the program, I am all for it even if it pushes multiple tickets out of my price range. I would rather pay big money for one game a year where I can sit close and have our program maxing out the dollars into the program than ask the program to wilter treading water.. Maybe I won’t be able to sit in unbelievable seats more than once a year, or maybe never. Oh well, the time is now to compete in the Big 12, let’s give it all we got!
