I don't think it's fair to lay the blame on the students.

I agree. CB is proof that nerds care about football.

9/16/14 3:25pm

The Student Section is a lot better than it was when I went 10 yrs ago

I think that's been BYU Athletics/Marketing leading the way

Big 10 schools have higher academic entrance requirements than BYU? Seriously?

This reeks of desperation. It seems highly unlikely...

BearsandBulls

9/16/14 3:33pm

9/16/14 4:13pm

What about BYU not having any freshmen guys? It was such a huge thing

I don't think students are the main culprit, although they may attend less now.

I think the nerdification of BYU has definitely increased in the last 20 years.
