My entire post is about what it means for the rest of their life.
The question was why would anyone choose BYU? Why, because AFTER college having BYU next to your name automatically triggers the "he's a Mormon response.
And the comparisons were absolutely legit. Danny White was the starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys. Who knows he's Mormon? Tom Chambers had a much better NBA career than Danny Ainge. He was a four time All Star and the All Star game MVP. Who knows he's Mormon?
But the point isn't who is more famous...it's who is more famous as a Mormon and why. Who is automatically identified as Mormon by the man on the street. The general population doesn't have a clue that either Danny White or Tom Chambers are or were Mormon when they were playing. It was a footnote that didn't merit discussion. Had they had BYU by their name that narrative changes.
Again. My point is all about AFTER college. AFTER.
