BYU restructures athletic department with football oversight changes

BYU announced a restructuring of its athletic department, separating the football program from the other 20 sports. Head coach Kalani Sitake will report directly to vice president Keith Vorkink, while athletic director Brian Santiago oversees remaining programs. This decision comes just before the season's first football game and follows Sitake's calls for increased investment in the football program. The change is seen as a response to the rapid evolution of college athletics and potential internal conflicts between Sitake and Santiago.
