I've made no secret that my level of fandom has been declining, and something like this would bother me at a really really high level.
In my mind successful teams at BYU add a lot, geater national exposure for the university, for the church, increased enrollment applications, increased morale, campus excitement, greater athletic Dept revenue.
If there is a very talented kid who is a graduate transfer, willing to live the honor code, and can help the team be more successful I think there should be every effort to find ways to get him into school not find ways to stop that from happening.
I'd rather find ways to be inclusionary than exclusionary.
