Are you serious?

Try the following out for size:

Honor Code/Honor Code Enforecement
Dress and Grooming Standards
Academic Requirements for Athletes
Mission
Religious Affiliation

All of the above make BYU's recruiting different from any other University. Our competition uses all of the above against us.

Maybe because they will make 3x somewhere else AND they won't have the

Because BYU won't increase budget for assistants.

The story is missing one key part...

or was it that the coaches turned around and BRONCO was gone?
