If the BOT has appropriated the program for missionary work, then they should

Ok, I don't expect it to be a MAJOR missionary tool. Next...

Fine don't donate. Then don't make it operate as a missionary program

It's not operating like the missionary program.

You don't think that keeping downtown SLC viable is important to the Church?

It's odd that you think that the church needs to spend money downtown to help

The Church will likely never "break even" on BYU football.

It's safe to say you are fairly out of touch and uneducated on this topic.

If BYU isn't a church program, drop the honor code.

I would certainly support loosening it

At least let the team deal with it internally
