You think it would be better that it would be easier to get into BYU? isn't that kinda what makes BYU what it is? That not EVERYONE and their dog gets in? To me, college athletics were an instrumental part of my experience at BYU. I would agree that if BYU did away with sports, I would encourage my kids to go somewhere cheaper (BYU-I, BSU, UofI). Heck, my degree from the Y got me a $16 an hour job. And no one really cares that my degree says BYU, they just care that I have a degree.
