harder to be eligible at BYU than at Utah
BYU has higher academic standards than the UofU has ... even for student athletes.

If Pita T. is eligible at Utah to play this yr, BYU has some serious explaining

I think this has now been debunked. Yes BYU demands higher grades

There is also the matter of the HC/ecclesiastical endorsement.

yeah, there is SOME leeway... but not as much leeway as Utah has

His eligibility issues were more based on NCAA issues.

Sounds to me like the Ewe owes the Y a "Thankyou" on a very promising player.

They had already handed out their allotment of 25 for the year.

Including one to Chasen Anderson?

Don't think so. Andersen left in June. Pita announced the switch in August.

Chasen had one, that would've gone against the total.

DNews said (Aug 4) that BYU had exceeded allotment of 25:

BYU had 25 LOIs this year.
Shimmy
9/5/13 2:15pm
SO all 25 LOI's showed up to fall camp ?
LosUtes
9/5/13 2:38pm
So your saying that BYU's program has NOT had any players
LosUtes
9/5/13 2:36pm
It isn't a scholarship problem, it was an LOI problem. BYU has the scholarships
Shimmy
9/5/13 2:38pm
Mission guys don't count against the 25 LOI's. They don't even sign LOIs.
LosUtes
9/5/13 2:46pm
You don't know what you are talking about. Misison guys sign LOIs
Shimmy
9/5/13 2:53pm
LOL thank you for doing the leg work and demonstrating poor reading comprehensio

That doesn't mean they didn't sign LOIs

I gave you a link of players who signed LOIs and left immediately

Fair enough, I can compromise

They do count against, and they do sign

Pita was signed and brought in to BYU

Well, techinically he wasn't "brought in to" BYU. never started school

His scholarship went to Skyler Ridley (according to Alema and Criddle)

That wouldn't count as one of the initial 25, that would only count against
