It's not funded well nor does it require as much as other top tier universities.

I know! You watch those bands.

You probably need to hire someone who has worked in those programs to bring that vision to byu

But then how else will I get to hear pioneer era funeral dirges and show tunes

An often overlooked but important question.

Get rid of the pregame song where the announcer always says “I can’t hear you!”

As far as providing entertainment on the field during down times I agree 100%.
