Does new Big 12 rule impact Jaxon Kohler? Clearing up the noise + BYU WR Kyler Kasper interview

The Big 12 Conference "unanimously adopted a conference rule" that prevents Big 12 member institutions from fielding professional athletes in any conference-sponsored sport. That raises the question for BYU fans: How does it affect BYU basketball commit Jaxon Kohler?

KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper answered that question and got a follow-up answer from the Big 12 Conference. He breaks down the timeline regarding Jaxon Kohler, his eligibility, and what's next. Mitch also shares his thoughts on the NCAA and the 5-in-5 rule, and how this has become chaos.

Mitch Harper caught up with BYU football wide receiver Kyler Kasper at the end of fall camp practice.

Kasper transferred in from the University of Oregon to BYU. After two separate injuries, Kasper feels better than ever entering the 2026 season with the Cougars. He discussed how fall camp went, where he's improved as a player, and what fans will learn about BYU's wide receiver unit in 2026.
