Genuinely curious your why on this

I think younger men grow poor beards and BYU is better without undergrad beards

I agree, BYU is special. I disagree that not allowing beards makes BYU special.

No beards at BYU is not what makes it special.

Allowing moustaches while not allowing beards is dumb
