"Grad Programs want unique applicants and not just grades"--isn't that an

argument that the football program shouldn't need to get involved to get him admitted?

I find the grad student transfer debate interesting. Seems to be fairly split

I understand both sides...I also understand BYU will do what it wants. Not worth the ranting for me anymore.

BYU w/ out the HC and academic standards is USU.

Except it is a church sponsored school and usu is a state sponsored school.

I just don’t understand why it’s so split. Most wish we were UVU

The big difference to me is summed up in two words "GRAD STUDENT"

Then let BYU have their diversity in their undergraduate programs

I really can’t believe you said that.

I keep saying over and over, let him get in within the rules on his own merit. How hard is that to understand?

Wingnut

We clearly look at this issue differently.

I actually think we see this situation very much the same

He's applying for a Communications Degree. Not an elite program.

If it's not a very good program then he should not have any problem getting in under his own Merit

Wingnut

Don't underestimate some of the silly BYU admins / dumb fans.

Richbyu

If it's really that easy, he should have no problem getting in without help

Wingnut

Which means it will be easier to get in

Why do you keep saying it would be breaking the rules (or bend the rules)? What rules exactly would be bent or

Let him in on his own merit

Wingnut

They would be.... you just want to judge his merit based on a very narrow list of accomplishments. That's unwise.

HarlemCoug

No. I just think football has absolutely nothing to do with the graduate program that he's asking to get into

Wingnut

4/20/19 9:48pm

so.... the fact that he's spent most of his time doing one thing.. and in that one thing he's performed at the top 1%

The guy's experience opens a ton of doors a 4.0 would never open.

This. A 4.0 is much easier to get then a D1 back position.

In this instance football actually makes him a better prospect

I’m sure they are advocating and hopefully it works out.
