"Grad Programs want unique applicants and not just grades"--isn't that an
argument that the football program shouldn't need to get involved to get him admitted?

I understand both sides...I also understand BYU will do what it wants. Not worth the ranting for me anymore.

BYU w/ out the HC and academic standards is USU.

I just don’t understand why it’s so split. Most wish we were UVU

The big difference to me is summed up in two words "GRAD STUDENT"

I keep saying over and over, let him get in within the rules on his own merit. How hard is that to understand?

We clearly look at this issue differently.

If it's not a very good program then he should not have any problem getting in under his own Merit

If it's really that easy, he should have no problem getting in without help

Wingnut

so.... the fact that he's spent most of his time doing one thing.. and in that one thing he's performed at the top 1%

The guy's experience opens a ton of doors a 4.0 would never open.
