This is as foul as it gets. BYU has been getting away with this for years.

I guess we have to do his homework for him?

If you named the 20 best football players in BYU history

Aw man, he has us figured out! Time for other schools to take advantage.

I don't get this argument. Non lds

thebruce

but if it really were a clear advantage don't you think that the coach would force some guys to take a 2 year break?

HarlemCoug

No, the player would transfer.

thebruce

8/25/16 7:28am

That is the point. Why don't other coaches and players take advantage of the

They don't because they can't.

thebruce

8/25/16 7:29am

Then why do many of those teams discourage missions?

Westsider

8/25/16 8:29am

Some do some don't.

thebruce

8/25/16 8:40am

Also there aren't that many good lds players that want to go on missions out of

thebruce

A great majority do

8/25/16 10:22am

I'd say the majority are fine with it.

thebruce

8/25/16 10:28am

You just provided information that fits exactly what I said

Bgash

8/25/16 10:36am

they wanted him to come home early enough to make the season.

thebruce

8/25/16 10:40am

btw I don't dispute that BYU is the most accommodating.

thebruce

8/25/16 10:42am

Sure they can, but the losses would outweigh the gains.

NewMexiCoug

There is no way a coach can tell a good recruit to sit out for two years

thebruce

8/25/16 8:44am

No. There's no reason WHY a coach would tell a good recruit to sit out 2 years.

I'm not arguing that it is a competitive advantage.

I agree with cmg wholeheartedly but let's not start tweeting Desmond. Just win

yahtzee

8/25/16 12:23am

I agree that we shouldn't do any insulting tweets but he clearly doesn't know

travelcoug

8/25/16 12:28am

Overreacting on Twitter solves nothing and just looks thin skinned.

yahtzee

8/25/16 12:32am

Polite info does work

travelcoug

8/25/16 12:34am

Sure if it doesn't fall in the realm of overreacting

yahtzee

8/25/16 9:31am

Naw. I say flex the digital footprint.

I'm just not convinced angry tweeting dh is the way to gain any traction on it

yahtzee

8/25/16 8:28am

I think we should just lose to prove his argument wrong.

sah22

8/25/16 8:18am

We tried that in 2002-03. Worked like a charm...

yahtzee

8/25/16 8:29am

I don't want to argue that it helps or hurts byu (older players)

thebruce

What a joke

gurt

8/25/16 12:38am

I think all teams should be required to send more than half of their athletes on 2 year missions - that way we can

All hustle, no muscle. Taysom was chillin' like a villain.
