for me it’s not so much about his being a TSPP alum as it is him just being a really REALLY unlikeable person. He’s pretty much the dictionary definition of a douchebag.
Dude went to prom at his old high school when he was the starting QB at BYU… with TWO dates. I don’t hope for people to fail, but I think it’s hilarious that he is where he is right now. TSPP fans were willing to ignore all of this when he was winning games for them against horrible teams, but even TSPP fans are now openly admitting that he is bad, and that he is not someone they want representing their alma matter.
Wilson represents everything I hate about TSPP sports. Their players are (like it or not) representatives of my faith, and when they act like Wilson, it reflects poorly on me as a person… but TSPP is willing to sweep all of that under a rug in exchange for winning football games, which is fine I guess until they leave the university, become famous, and no longer have to hide what they have been doing all this time.
FWIW I think his personality is a big reason he wasn’t offered at Utah. Whitt is the antithesis of everything Wilson and his mother represent (don’t know anything about the rest of his family so won’t pass judgement on them). Knowing the kind of QB he ended up being, Whitt would have likely taken him in hindsight, but I’m not sure he would have been successful at the U for a number of reasons.
