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.

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"

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