I will talk about the consequences of gauge and third family Yukawa coupling unification for the LHC. In a recent work, we analyzed a Yukawa unified supersymmetric grand unified theory (GUT) with the non-universal Higgs masses defined at the GUT scale. We performed a global fit using 11 observables, including the Higgs boson mass. Good fits suggest an upper bound on the gluino mass of about 2 TeV. Gluinos should be visible at the LHC in the 14 TeV run but they cannot be described by the typical simplified models. I will also describe a complete three family model and discuss the quality of the global $\chi^2$ fit to 35 observables. In addition, I will discuss current work with a new set of boundary conditions that is consistent with Yukawa unification at the GUT scale. I will also discuss the phenomenology of these models at the LHC.
