How does someone not get accepted to the "digital rhetoric" program at Dixie?

LiveCoug

I had the same thought

Maybe some things are best kept in FO.

Sorry if you read my post, kolby!

Nice double down on yoir buffoonery.

IceBlue

I had the same question. No idea how that can happen. At Dixie???

Stop looking down at Dixie. It is a great university on the rise.

boardname checks out

Doesn't make my statement any less true. I get why other schools hate BYU fans

SaintGeorgeYFan

8/24/21 12:31am

Bro. Dixie has no entrance requirements. It’s the easiest school in the state

Big Daddy D

UVU would like a word.

rivercitycoug

And exactly what the BOM warns against.

I'll admit guilt in this instance.

I graduated from ITT and I look down on Dixie

You go to Dixie to get a job, not academic respect.

canofpicante

8/25/21 8:59am

I'm from St George. Dixie is 13th grade.

Whatever you say.

SaintGeorgeYFan

Oh yes, it will rise again. Mark my words.

Zooropa

8/24/21 5:42am

Get real. I went to Dixie undergrad. It’s a good Community College/Regional Univ

canofpicante

8/24/21 10:57am

I only look down on schools with racist names sweetie 🙂

Sircumference

Not having a background in rhetoric, would be my guess

DrBYU

8/23/21 11:13pm

Agreed. Often transfer decisions are made based on emotion not logic or reason

Saxa

8/24/21 4:43am

You’d think a BYU grad would be a slam dunk

salamishiitake

8/23/21 11:48pm

a lot of rhetoric in the responses here.

bald man

8/24/21 5:38am

Huh... assumed he left for more PT and less competition. Guess not.

Mitty

8/23/21 10:57pm

He didn’t exactly leave by his choice

CougarCanuck76

8/23/21 11:02pm

Sad. If he'd taken Pope's offer he'd probably have his BYU tuition paid for

SinkingQuffa

8/23/21 11:04pm

Probably still could if he wanted to. Of course he would have the same issues at BYU all over again.....

mokelembembe

8/24/21 7:19am

Pretty sure Winitana filled out our burgeoning roster. You're only allowed two

SinkingQuffa

8/24/21 8:08am

I'm not sure there is a walkon limit because it probably just becomes self-limiting at some point.....

mokelembembe

8/24/21 9:41am

This seems true. Looking back, it seems both Pope & Rose have carried 2 or 3

SinkingQuffa

8/24/21 10:26am

There's a walk on limit because they still get team privileges just not schollie

runnincoug

8/24/21 10:26am

Gonzaga had 5 walkons last season

8/25/21 3:44am

This makes me feel bad honestly

Remigius

8/23/21 11:23pm

I see comments on there that this is sad. I don’t see it as sad. I see it as him recognizing life is still good

BW84

8/24/21 12:38am

He got a lot farther in the sport than I ever did.

For every guy that "makes it" and graduates on D1 scholarship, there are 10 more

shoganai

100%. Nearly all players need to see sport as vehicle to something else.

Madam Pattirini

8/24/21 10:16am

Yeah, let the guy bow out gracefully and move on.

Tricky

8/24/21 10:31am

Good luck Kolby! Once a Coug, always a Coug!

IceBlue

This is beyond bizarre

bigjohn

What the heck is that? Digital rhetoric? Have ZERO clue.

Blue for Life

its mastering your bs on the digital plane.

bald man

8/24/21 5:38am

I was wondering the same thing

OrangeCougar

8/24/21 6:33am

Same question..

Don_Juan_El_Guapo

8/24/21 7:00am

Seems like it's basically digital marketing.

mokelembembe

8/24/21 7:01am

It looks like an interesting field of study. I can see how he may not be accepte

Brigham

8/24/21 7:19am

Kolby's major might not have been what the program requires. For example I could

Forzaitalia

8/24/21 7:58am

Kolby seems like a really good guy. Sad he was forced out of bball.

Everybody eventually has to face the day they hang up the sneakers/cleats, etc.

shoganai

8/24/21 7:47am

If BYU wasn't accepting an athlete to a master's program, people would freak out

ochobeeguy

8/24/21 7:51am

Quickie monster indeed…

HRCougar

8/24/21 8:26am

That picture had a lot more hair on it than I expected.

Belboz

8/24/21 8:43am

Seems like more going on here. I mean, a guy could apply to a different program

Thrill

8/24/21 8:47am

I don't think they have very many grad level programs. I know they have a

He was an unlikely star of a lot of games. He became one of my favorites.

Man Bat

Decisive players are NOT stars. Though they can have that effect in our minds.

SinkingQuffa

8/24/21 10:37am

that's a big loss for Dixie St...
