Yes it's in their best interest, but many, many athletes fall through the cracks

If you really knew how many student athletes fail to graduate and how the school makes it very difficult to finish you wouldn't have posted.

Cody Hoffman tweet

Must be a miscommunication somewhere

My guess is that he needs courses at BYU's main campus to finish.

RedSox

12/6/16 7:14am

yeah BYU would never bungle something like this

Cougarealist

12/5/16 6:26pm

I'm smh at this tweet, Cody

cougarnerd

12/5/16 6:22pm

You mean you don't think he's speaking the truth? And if you do think he's

Polecat

12/5/16 6:39pm

I feel for him and obviously want him to graduate, but calling out BYU on

cougarnerd

12/5/16 8:56pm

Agreed. He should try to get things done behind closed doors

donnerstag

12/5/16 9:00pm

And even when going public, a vague tweet with no reasons is still a bad idea

cougarnerd

12/5/16 9:07pm

Eh, it can be a very effective way to get things done actually

Dillinger

12/5/16 9:09pm

BYU doesn't bend without agitation

Cougarealist

12/5/16 9:43pm

And sometimes it solidifies a position.

MarylandFan

12/6/16 1:59am

Actually, it is the best way to get things done. He got Jackson Emery

UTE Golfer

12/6/16 10:26am

Do you know details?

gmycount

12/6/16 1:52pm

DO YOU KNOW WHY???? THEN HOWS IT ABSURD?

Shteve

12/6/16 1:54pm

BYU responds to outside pressure. Its a good tactic when others are exhausted.

OliverGranger

12/6/16 1:26pm

What the yewt is going on here? CB needs to take action.

Gerald-DeGroot

12/5/16 6:41pm

Raises the question why...

CoachSpeak

12/5/16 6:43pm

^^This^^ or he blew his grades the first time. But would he tweet if he's aware?

Albuq_Coug

12/5/16 6:47pm

Hello...could be grades?

SaintGeorgeYFan

12/5/16 6:50pm

Could be...

CoachSpeak

12/5/16 7:21pm

Does that mean BYU will take you back regardless of grades? Or does it mean Cody's grades are probably fine?

Brisco

12/5/16 10:19pm

He didn't get kicked out at any point did he?

CoachSpeak

12/6/16 12:12am

Not grades...

gmycount

12/6/16 2:00pm

you are special don't let anyone tell you otherwise

Cougz19

12/6/16 3:06pm

I appreciate that!

gmycount

12/6/16 7:06pm

Please tell me none of you are planning on tweeting anything at him...

Polecat

12/5/16 6:48pm

I think if you are going to "smh" the Y with a tweet, at least have the decency

Cougarfan777

12/5/16 6:50pm

That tweet will be viewed by BYU leadership and I'm sure they'll get it figured out for him. Even

ocmyhome

12/5/16 6:50pm

Probably is figured out

gwill

12/5/16 6:59pm

Shame if true. They let him play with whatever grades he had so they should let

RugbyBYU

12/5/16 7:07pm

5 years wasn't enough time?

Backcountry

12/5/16 7:09pm

Most NFL prospects drop out as soon as their eligibilty is up

donnerstag

12/5/16 8:49pm

Kalama, Damuni, and other coaches need to help him out...noble goal

gaspasscoug

12/5/16 7:10pm

And Tidwell

Turnpike Lane

12/5/16 7:17pm

Maybe he's getting the Jimmy Mac treatment

shakarocks

12/5/16 7:10pm

Hope they get this sorted ASAP

wilsdad

12/5/16 7:14pm

RE: Hope they get this sorted ASAP

gwill

12/5/16 8:58pm

Because a former player feels compelled to take to Twitter to complain

wilsdad

12/6/16 6:32am

Honest question: Does he not know enough people at BYU to help him sort this out

Bgash

12/5/16 7:19pm

I'm guessing he's exhausted those resources and is now on to the throw mud on

kotacoug

gwill

12/8/16 5:50am

How long we he at BYU? I can't believe he didn't graduate in that time.

SD-Y-FAN

12/5/16 7:46pm

five years.

ag4cougs

12/5/16 8:22pm

Wait...didn't he graduate? He had a red-shirt year also, if I remember right.

BYUHgrad

12/5/16 8:51pm

There's always BYU-Idaho

Metallicat

12/5/16 9:01pm

If I'm not mistaken he can only get his High School Diploma there...

SoutheastIdaCoug

12/5/16 10:07pm

...doesn't tell the whole story

nashty

12/5/16 9:40pm

Bring in the lawyers to set the record straight!

Polecat

12/5/16 9:45pm

Stupid socks...

Kuga

12/5/16 10:31pm

Like Esau, gave up his diploma for some socks and now he's complaining. (TIC!)

sah22

12/6/16 7:14am

Man, I hope Cody gets this figured out, wish him the very best for sure but

Pacino

12/5/16 11:09pm

Come back Cody... I'll do your coursework for you if you play another year

jomo

12/5/16 11:17pm

What does "smh" mean?

Bullrider

12/6/16 12:00am

Shaking my head

CougarAndMerlin

12/6/16 12:57am

That's messed up. They'll beg McMahon to finish and then reject Hoffman?

ColdFusion1989

12/6/16 12:19am

Only one brief side of the story.

Metallicat

12/6/16 1:37am

Maybe, but BYU does a poor job taking care of their own.

ColdFusion1989

12/6/16 10:03am

Wrong it is in the Athletic Department's best interest for athletes to graduate

Deadpool

12/6/16 11:59am

You have to graduate within 6 years to be counted towards the APR

donnerstag

12/6/16 12:22pm

If we look the other way once they're done playing....

Shteve

12/6/16 12:30pm

Yes it's in their best interest, but many, many athletes fall through the cracks

jomo

12/6/16 12:40pm

Your post is full of contradictions so I'll just agree to disagree.

Deadpool

12/6/16 3:24pm

Ah you're one of those guys for which the reality of life experience

jomo

12/6/16 7:56pm

I think if it's all he wanted to do, he would've done it before now...like

Wedgetail

12/6/16 7:32am

When I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2008, BYU would only allow me to defer my enrollment for 2 semesters.

SpiffCoug

12/6/16 7:51am

that is a ridiculous policy, shame on BYU for that

Cougarealist

12/6/16 8:02am

Cody you should have finished what you

BYUvermont

12/6/16 8:40am

That's messed up. They'll beg McMahon to finish and then reject Hoffman?

ColdFusion1989

12/6/16 10:00am

Do you know why they wont let him in?

Shteve

12/6/16 10:51am

Of course he has no clue. It's the CB thing to do....

bushy7

12/6/16 11:00am

They just want to see BYU do right by a guy who gave a lot to the school

Saxa

12/6/16 1:18pm

And I want Cody to come back and finish at BYU as well.

bushy7

12/6/16 1:44pm

Donald Trump is a millennial?

cougarnerd

12/6/16 1:50pm

Democrats.... Not millenials

ColdFusion1989

12/6/16 2:23pm

So no matter the reason for not letting him in, they just should?

Shteve

12/6/16 1:52pm

Gave a lot?

BYUvermont

12/7/16 10:04pm

You are comparing a wedding cake
