I wonder why they don't encourage their players to go on missions.

It isn't true there are no advantages

Disadvantages clearly outweight any advantages for most players.

Most schools couldn't do it, because a player would rather go to a school that

Along with that though, everyone is free to grey and redshirt if they want to

BYU's penalties suggest that greater maturity and self-control are hypothetical

Yup. Best response is tell other teams they can recruit future missionaries too.

average team age would only matter if every player were playing significant time

IOWs, none of our DBs but one, & none of our LBs, but one.

I immediately thought the 2 corners--& then quickly realized half the D

Wonder where they get the 10 out of 11 number? I can't think of any combination

NewMexiCoug

Not to mention that RM's are always assumed to be significantly older

The math really is quite straightforward, even without knowing birthdates:

It's five of the 11 starters on D served missions

Hoosier Coug

You know what makes me laugh is LDS players are turned down from other schools

Where'd they come up with 10 out of 11 on either side of the ball?
