I remember an interview where he spoke about being recruited by Pac-10 schools, but they told him he couldn't go on a mission. I don't know if it is just the great integrity of many Pac schools or their lack of knowledge, but they could have great "hustles" going on by letting LDS kids go on missions. It seems we always hear about schools not letting recruits go on missions, but then complain that BYU has an advantage because of it.
