This week on the Mormon Newscast, BYU’s starting quarterback is back in the spotlight—but this time, it’s not for what’s happening on the field. With serious legal allegations and academic questions piling up, the playbook in Provo is getting complicated. Is this a career-ending fumble or just a temporary timeout? We break down the latest developments, the unexpected moves behind the scenes, and why this story could go into overtime. Buckle up—this game is far from over, and it may only be halftime. Another Cougar QB is bucking tradition. He’s headed out—but not for the typical two-year mission. He’s doing it in just one. What’s behind this shortened service? Is it the right move for the LDS Church and how might it affect others called to serve? We’ll break down how this fits (or doesn’t) with Mormon cultural expectations. And on the social media front: fresh evidence suggests the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints is secretly paying influencers to promote the faith. We’ll show you the leaked marketing playbook—and share what’s stirring debate in Mormon communities and on social media.
