Football: BYU's Rich hasn't received scholarship yet
Had a quick conversation last night with Andrew Rich, the safety from Ogden's Bonneville High and Ephraim's Snow College who agreed in December to walk on at BYU, bypassing scholarship offers from Cal and Boise State.

I gotta tell you, the kid is a saint.

With the reports that a couple of players that BYU was counting on have de-committed to the Cougars in recent days, I assumed Rich would be given one of those scholarships.

"Not that I know of," Rich said. "I haven't discussed it with a coach at all. I am still planning on paying my own way."

Rich started classes at BYU on Jan. 7 and said everything is going well.

When I asked him if he would be disappointed if BYU didn't give him a scholarship, he said, "Not really. I am sure the guys that are getting the scholarships have earned them."
