It’s funny the Lords university avoids the weak, the sinner, and the less
Fortunate. Isn’t that who the Lord sought out? Interesting for sure.

Biggest Issue with BYU going forward

Which criteria in particular do you take issue with?

Majority are polynesian, i.e., not white, and most wouldn't be accepted

Went through the roster. Roughly 50% white, 40% Utahns, and I believe the

the rebuttal to this argument is that there is probably 2-3 times more Mormons

BYU's admissions requirements for athletes is on par with Stanford and far above

Byu simply needs to lower the admission standards.
CarolinaCoug
11/22/17 12:26pm
I don't think this is accurate. But I agree w/ you that I'm fine w/ lowering
Bostonblue
11/22/17 12:29pm
I've heard it from multiple people including Bronco. There were only 3-4 schools
CSoul

Nope. Dayan Lake got into BYU as an academic non-qualifer. see post below.

Completely inaccurate, it is in fact the opposite.

Mormons today are probably worse at football and basketball than the ones who

The HCO is not at all what the media makes it out to be. I'm guessing you are

The HCO is horrible. It was militant back in the late 1980's and it is out of

Well you kind of just emphasized my point. So thank you.

Incredible you think I made your point.

You did. Very well actually. You will have to ask someone to explain how

The school isnt there as an aid to the sports. Standards are what they are.

according to Bronco, BYU FB is one of the most (if not the most) visible
Bostonblue
11/22/17 2:38pm
You still dont lower standards.

If it means the FB program dies, you sure as heck do. It's not a big deal to

And open themselves up to a law suit. Great idea.

non-athletes are not a protected class. Discriminate away.

They already have. Academic standards for athletes are a complete joke

Can we PLEASE drop this 'academic requirement' BS when it comes to football

WRONG

Think about it. Is BYU THAT good of a school?
Dissenter
11/22/17 4:54pm
Then is the coach lying to me?

11/22/17 5:22pm
Nope.... The coach was 100% correct and your description is spot on.

Canusa - you're right about the letter, but missing part of the story

That is not entirely accurate. The PAC12, for example, allows 4 non-qualifiers

I can confirm this, but that was under Bronco and self-administered.
