since last March. The decision to allow or not allow fans hasn’t been Tom’s or the Athletic Department’s to make. The AD has been pitted against campus administration and the BOT since the beginning of the pandemic. Tom had to fight to have any sort of football season this year.

Not donating to the AD because BYU’s leadership and the leadership of its sponsoring institution is afraid of any kind of controversy, scandal or bad press is like holding a grudge against somebody for something that person’s sibling or parent did. You’re punishing the wrong people. Your gripe is with the BOT and church leadership, not the Athletic Department.
