Seems to me there's tons of great LDS talent all over the country. We just don't usually get the big dogs in Football or Basketball. (Jabari Parker)

Biggest Issue with BYU going forward

Canusa

Recruiting a bunch of upper class, mission first, white, +30 ACT kids from

You realize that nearly all of their recruits don't satisfy your

basman

11/22/17 12:23pm

Which criteria in particular do you take issue with?

Ulysses14

11/22/17 12:28pm

Majority are polynesian, i.e., not white, and most wouldn't be accepted

basman

11/22/17 12:33pm

Went through the roster. Roughly 50% white, 40% Utahns, and I believe the

these guys don’t have 30+ ACTs. Get real

the rebuttal to this argument is that there is probably 2-3 times more Mormons

BYU's admissions requirements for athletes is on par with Stanford and far above

CSoul

11/22/17 12:20pm

Byu simply needs to lower the admission standards.

CarolinaCoug

11/22/17 12:26pm

I don't think this is accurate. But I agree w/ you that I'm fine w/ lowering

Bostonblue

11/22/17 12:29pm

I've heard it from multiple people including Bronco. There were only 3-4 schools

CSoul

11/22/17 12:39pm

Nope. Dayan Lake got into BYU as an academic non-qualifer. see post below.

CougLuv1

11/22/17 6:06pm

Completely inaccurate, it is in fact the opposite.

Mormons today are probably worse at football and basketball than the ones who

If so, that's not a good trend.

Academically even more than ecclesiastically surprisingly. Bronco said that

Bronco recruited a lot of non-lds kids

for Honor Code, against Honor Code office

Yep, it's become a bit of a witch hunt organization.

The HCO is not at all what the media makes it out to be. I'm guessing you are

Lance71

The HCO is horrible. It was militant back in the late 1980's and it is out of

You had an experience with the HCO in the 80's and think you know how it works?

This is a stupid statement. The church does a ton for these people...

Well you kind of just emphasized my point. So thank you.

Incredible you think I made your point.

Shore10

11/22/17 7:26pm

You did. Very well actually. You will have to ask someone to explain how

BigYfan

11/22/17 12:30pm

The school isnt there as an aid to the sports. Standards are what they are.

Count Cougar

11/22/17 2:30pm

according to Bronco, BYU FB is one of the most (if not the most) visible

Bostonblue

11/22/17 2:38pm

You still dont lower standards.

Count Cougar

11/22/17 4:36pm

If it means the FB program dies, you sure as heck do. It's not a big deal to

Bostonblue

And open themselves up to a law suit. Great idea.

Count Cougar

11/22/17 5:30pm

non-athletes are not a protected class. Discriminate away.

Bostonblue

11/22/17 5:32pm

They already have. Academic standards for athletes are a complete joke

Can we PLEASE drop this 'academic requirement' BS when it comes to football

Dissenter

11/22/17 4:39pm

WRONG

Canusa

11/22/17 4:49pm

Think about it. Is BYU THAT good of a school?

Dissenter

11/22/17 4:54pm

Then is the coach lying to me?

Canusa

11/22/17 5:22pm

Nope.... The coach was 100% correct and your description is spot on.

TheLost

11/22/17 8:59pm

Canusa - you're right about the letter, but missing part of the story

CougLuv1

11/22/17 6:03pm

That is not entirely accurate. The PAC12, for example, allows 4 non-qualifiers

NewMexiCoug

11/22/17 8:20pm

I can confirm this, but that was under Bronco and self-administered.

NewMexiCoug

11/22/17 8:00pm

Biggest issue is not playing as a unit
