Here’s my take:
It’s a bad thing that he did. But, it’s not that big of a deal. He’s a kid with a rough, rough background. With a rough background, you become angry. For the most part, Butler-Byrd has used that anger to help him become an excellent football player.
The other night, that anger took him to a bad place.
He didn’t hurt anyone. He did some damage, but it was less than $1,500 worth. Most of us “responsible” adults over 25 should have 10 times that in a bank account (and if we don’t have that saved up for an emergency, do we have a mental issue? I mean, who would be dumb enough to NOT have that much saved up for an emergency, right?).
Butler-Byrd will have to face the consequences for his actions. After he has done that, I would LOVE to have him back at Utah. This is what Utah football is. Taking boys and helping them become men.
I’d bet B-B is back for BYU if not sooner.
