...most other programs because of the higher expectations of its HC as you state. But I want to emphasize the more challenging academic entrance requirements that eliminate perhaps 85% of the athletes out there (LDS or not) as well. BYU can offer kids but always with GPA and ACT performance limitations and a lot of early offers don't make the grades (literally).
P.S. I have no idea what it is you lobby for, but I think if I had to deal with the children of the corn in the Halls of Congress I might go home and sleep on a bed of shaved bamboo stocks just to get comfortable afterwards.
