Sounds like that's the party line, just say "50-50!"

Time

I randomly had breakfast this morning with four employees from BYU's AD

Just TNT's negative opinion, but 50-50 is not encouraging

TNT

8/23/16 9:56am

And yet, it is not discouraging either.

Depends on how you look at it.

Bubba Gravity

8/23/16 9:57am

For TNT it is

TNT

8/23/16 9:58am

Or it is 50-50 whether they expand at all, and that is still the issue.

Turnpike Lane

8/23/16 10:03am

Good point

TNT

8/23/16 10:11am

This is just what they are told the should say when asked IMO

I'm guessing that's just a standard way of saying "no comment" It doesn't mean

THIS

agreed

Wasn't there a receiver several years ago with the "50-50" nickname?

Don't matter if the cup is 1/2 empty or full. Both are heavy if you hold it long

BluebloodOR

8/23/16 12:12pm

well Jimmy, since their answer obviously means nothing, don't worry about it

Kerbouchard

8/23/16 3:10pm

My guess is that most AD employees have no idea what's going on.

benny1982

8/23/16 9:58am

I agree

Yurdue

8/23/16 9:58am

U shoulda said, "I'm compliance director and thank you for complying with the 50/50 rule.

Crowgar

8/23/16 11:06am

If you are under NDA, 50-50 is the ONLY answer

Rhino84

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^

runningryan

8/23/16 10:11am

Totally. The fact they all were in unison makes me think that is the party line

StalwartBraveTrue

8/23/16 10:40am

Indeed

ZooBlue

8/23/16 2:41pm

Sounds like that's the party line, just say "50-50!"

mellomike

8/23/16 9:58am

It's actually the only answer that is neither negative nor positive.

BamaCoug

8/23/16 9:58am

They were prepped, which is why they all answered simeutaneously

Twin Roots

8/23/16 10:31am

exactly, I can't believe people don't get this

Kerbouchard

8/23/16 3:11pm

This sounds made up, and that last sentence....SMH.

cougarnerd

8/23/16 9:58am

yes indeed, it does.

smokymountainrain

8/23/16 10:01am

We should all put BYU to the big12 on the prayer rolls.

blueaussie

8/23/16 10:09am

uhhhh, about that....

GJcougar

8/23/16 1:05pm

Did they all chuckle together after they said "50-50"?

Bubba Gravity

8/23/16 9:59am

It's gotta be at least 55-45

coolcats

8/23/16 10:00am

How can you randomly have breakfast with 4 people?

kimdaddy35

8/23/16 10:00am

Big Breakfast Menu at Denny's

TNT

8/23/16 10:02am

The university has a campus breakfast every August for all employees

Yurdue

8/23/16 10:03am

So it was planned and not random?

blueaussie

8/23/16 10:10am

He probably means he randomly sat next to them at the planned breakfast.

bretonnia

8/23/16 10:34am

The faculty networking event from 9am to 12pm at the Benson Building?

kimdaddy35

8/23/16 10:11am

So they're not fasting and praying....just praying?

Magic8Ball

8/23/16 10:03am

Now we know why we aren't in yet. Step it up, AD employees!

JackStack

8/23/16 10:07am

Did they all say "JYNX! You owe me a soda!" at the same time?

Bgash

8/23/16 10:09am

They seriously asked for prayers? Sports isn't really on the eternal agenda

MajorZeus

8/23/16 10:12am

Has anyone ever simply asked, "Are you under NDA?"

Hoosier Cougar

8/23/16 10:16am

There might be a separate NDA covering the NDA though.

Ojiisan

8/23/16 10:21am

Oooo...NDA-ception!

Hoosier Cougar

8/23/16 10:26am

Actually...

OyajiCoug

8/23/16 10:57am

wow that's confidential

Only the 10 big 12 presidents know who will get an invite

The parable of the 5 wise presidents and 5 foolish presidents

coolcats

8/23/16 10:35am

Did you hear them laughing maniacally as you walked away?

okieboy

8/23/16 11:02am

When is university conference? When do they vote on changes to the HC?

StalwartBraveTrue

8/23/16 11:19am

Your best shot at a real answer is to take only one of them to lunch

DOdoubleG

How would you put that down on the prayer roll?

HangookCoug

8/23/16 1:09pm

I'll put this in my prayers, right after I pray for the Broncos to win another..

CrimsonCardinal

8/23/16 1:12pm

If only we really knew what He cares about.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/23/16 2:11pm

Bad excuse not to pray. Sports prayers make up 62.1% of prayers on Sat/Sun.

CrimsonCardinal

8/23/16 5:23pm

Never met a bad excuse I couldn't get behind.

StalwartBraveTrue

8/23/16 9:59pm

"50-50" especially in unison, sounds like a pre-planned, NDA, company line. BUT...

mvtoro

8/23/16 2:07pm

Did y'all go to BYU? They pray about everything up there. Why would this

StalwartBraveTrue

8/23/16 2:12pm

I did, and I'm even still adjunct faculty there every few semesters. And yes, you're encouraged to pray over...
