The minimum requirements to play at BYU are not much different than Wyoming or Utah.
The HC is an undeniable obstacle to recruiting most top athletes for they refuse to live that lifestyle.

I see the honor code as sort of a cop out answer that fans use to convince

Academic and moral restrictions are not the same thing. HC is a legit issue for nonLDS kids.

Having LDS kids and Poly kids isn't a HUGE advantage?

BYU is private and doesn't publish

I like how you put Utah on the same level as Wyoming. Good dose of reality there

It's true. Average state schools all have about the same level of difficulty for

Then why was Star Lotulelei rejected at BYU and settled on Utah?

Better example is Pita T. Star went to Snow College, so may have qualified out

cougaman

Requirements might be the same but the actual academic work load
