It was a quiet week in Utah sports—but not without drama. In this episode of The Matt Cave:

🇺🇸 Diego Luna earns the start for the USMNT against Turkey and makes a strong case for next summer’s World Cup roster.

🏀 BYU extends Kevin Young after one season. Is it a savvy move or a leap of faith in the new NIL era?

💰 The NCAA’s pay-for-play shift is official—what it means for schools like BYU, Utah, and Utah State going forward.

🎮 And Summer Game Fest 2025… well, it happened. While most reveals fell flat, a few standouts (Mina the Hollower, Mouse P.I.) gave gamers a glimmer of hope.
