When it comes to college football controversies, schools will usually find themselves in one of two buckets in this post-NIL world (where it’s legal to pay student-athletes).
There are the off-field controversies, typically involving police. Then, there are also the playoff snub controversies.
Brigham Young University — whom many felt deserved a spot in the past season’s College Football Playoffs — has issues with both.
According toThe Associated Press, BYU star receiver Parker Kingston was accused by Utah prosecutors of first-degree felony rape on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old receiver is currently being held without bail, with a court appearance scheduled for Friday.
Prosecutors said the case was opened nearly a year ago, according to a statement released by their office.
They said a woman, who was 20 at the time, reported at a St. George hospital that Kingston had assaulted her on Feb. 23, 2025.
Investigators then collected digital and forensic evidence and conducted interviews with those involved, as well as additional witnesses.
(It’s unclear whether Kingston currently has an attorney.)
According toFox News, this grim news came just days after Kingston seemed to confirm that he was engaged.
