according to Bronco, its a bigger concern about not being

able to keep kids qualified once they get into school. If a kid can't keep a 3.0 in high school, he's likely to not stay eligible at BYU. Losing kids academically is especially damaging once they are at the program because you have a schollie tied up that can't be used on a contributing player. It also hurts for NCAA compliance.

So he is eligible at USU but not BYU? Got it.

Nope, this ain't the BYU of the 70's and 80's. Bronco has his own criteria too

I had a similar ACT score and a HS GPA below 3.0. I went on my mission and had

Like i posted, BYU can be its own enemy at times

Like I said, there is a reason for the academic standard.

And BYU is not going to give the players tutors

This pisses me off. The honor code is understandable to me.

Not really. It's not really stupid when the academics at BYU are
